Look at my eyes
Look at my lips
You're on my mind
Hand on my hips
Can't stay away, can't stay away
You got a type
I got a view
You're in the mood
I'm in your room
Can't stay away
Still can't stay away
Unh unh
Got me losing my head
Unh unh
Shades of orange and red
Des allées, des retours
Paths of comings and goings
Le manège, et puis on se laisse
The carousel, and then we just let go
C'est dans la nuit
It's in the night
Dans ces heures
In these hours
Que les envies
That desires
Les humeurs
The moods
J'aime cet avant-goût
I love this taste of what's to come
But I don't know if i should
(Look at my eyes, look at my lips)
Ohh
Coquelicot
Poppy
Ferrari
Oh
Ringard moderne
Modern cliché
Se met en scène
Takes center stage
Dans la nuit mondaine
In the worldly night
L'âme en peine
With a sorrowful soul
Avenue Montaigne
On Montaigne Avenue
À Nanterre
In Nanterre
Au bord de la Seine
By the Seine's edge
En été
In summer
Le coeur qui se serre
With a tightening heart
Car j'ai l'amour qui s'enclenche
For I have love igniting
Comme une F1 dans le stand
Like an F1 in the pit
Je vais vite-vite-vite
I'm going fast-fast-fast
Oui et je fonce comme une Ferrari-i-i-i
Yes and I'm racing like a Ferrari-i-i-i
Coeur en feu dans la nuit-it-it-it
Heart on fire in the night-it-it-it
Pour cette jolie go
For this pretty girl
I don't need you
I feel see-through
When I see you
Oo oo ooo
Des allers des retours
Back and forth
Le manège et puis on se laisse
The carousel and then we let go
C'est dans la nuit
It's in the night
Dans ces heures
In these hours
Que les envies
That the desires
Les humeurs
The moods
J'aime cet avant-goût
I love this taste of what's to come
But I don't know if i should
Ohhhhhh
(Look at my eyes, look at my lips)
Ohh
Coquelicot
Poppy
Ferrari
(You on my mind, hand on my hips)
Oh
Oh
Coquelicot
Poppy
Ferrari
Oh
J'suis en cavale avec une jolie go
I'm on the run with a pretty girl
