Dans ton regard, j'étais la clef
In your gaze, I held the key
J'avais pas vu c'était caché
I hadn't seen it, it was hidden
Tu vas rêver, tu veux parier
You're gonna dream, you want to bet
J'ai tant d'amour à te donner
I have so much love to give you
J'ai vécu le noir, et tout cramé
I've lived in darkness, and burned it all
Sans voix dans les rues de Bénodet
Voiceless in the streets of Bénodet
J'me demandais comment avancer
I was wondering how to move on
T'as pris la route sans y penser
You took the road without a second thought
Danse Mimi, danse Mimi chante
Dance Mimi, dance Mimi, sing
Tu vas changer le monde
You're going to change the world
Tu vas voir, tu vas dire, que la vie est profonde
You will see, you will say that life is profound
Tu vas croire, tu vas rire
You will believe, you will laugh
Tu vas changer le monde
You will change the world
Tu vas danser Mimi, tu vas danser
You will dance, Mimi, you will dance
Eh eh, eh oh, c'est le chaos(chaos, c'est le chaos)
Eh eh, eh oh, it's chaos (chaos, it's chaos)
Eh eh, eh oh, c'est le chaos(chaos, chaos)
Eh eh, eh oh, it's chaos (chaos, chaos)
Ouais mais Mimi tu vis ouais
Yeah, but Mimi you're living, yeah
Tu vis ouais, tu vis ouais(danse Mimi, danse Mimi)
You're living, yeah, you're living, yeah (dance Mimi, dance Mimi)
(x2)
Et si ton cœur s'endort
And if your heart falls asleep
Je chanterai plus fort
I'll sing louder
Sauver les moments qu't'imaginais
To save the moments you imagined
Et si ton cœur s'endort
And if your heart falls asleep
C'est pour battre plus fort
It's to beat even stronger
Une nouvelle vie ouais
A new life, yeah
(Danse Mimi, danse Mimi, danse Mimi)
(Dance Mimi, dance Mimi, dance Mimi)
J'vois ton sourire au fond je sais
I see your smile deep down, I know
Faire semblant quand la gorge serre
Pretending when the throat tightens
Ressentir l'hiver en été
Feeling winter in the summer
Comme si tout allait s'arrêter
As if everything were about to stop
T'as séché les larmes, et t'as laissé
You dried the tears, and you left
Tomber le foulard sur le palier
The scarf falling on the doorstep
S'il fallait tout recommencer
If we had to start all over again
Je serais là pour te porter
I would be there to carry you
Danse Mimi, danse Mimi chante
Dance Mimi, dance Mimi sing
Tu vas changer le monde
You will change the world
Tu vas voir, tu vas dire, que la vie est profonde
You will see, you will say, that life is deep
Tu vas croire, tu vas rire
You will believe, you will laugh
Tu vas changer le monde
You will change the world
Tu vas danser Mimi, tu vas danser
You will dance Mimi, you will dance
Eh eh, eh oh, c'est le chaos(chaos, c'est le chaos)
Eh eh, eh oh, it's chaos (chaos, it's chaos)
Eh eh, eh oh, c'est le chaos(chaos, chaos)
Eh eh, eh oh, it's chaos (chaos, chaos)
Ouais mais Mimi tu vis ouais
Yeah but Mimi, where you livin'?
Tu vis ouais, tu vis ouais(danse Mimi, danse Mimi)
Where you livin'?, where you livin'? (dance Mimi, dance Mimi)
(x2)
Et si ton cœur s'endort
And if your heart falls asleep
Je chanterai plus fort
I'll sing louder
Sauver les moments qu't'imaginais
To save the moments you imagined
Et si ton cœur s'endort
And if your heart falls asleep
C'est pour battre plus fort
It's to beat even harder
Une nouvelle vie ouais
A new life, yeah
Danse Mimi, danse Mimi
Dance, Mimi, dance, Mimi
Danse Mimi, danse Mimi
Dance, Mimi, dance, Mimi
Danse Mimi, danse Mimi
Dance, Mimi, dance, Mimi
