Quand les années auront passé On trouvera sous terre Nos deux squelettes enlacés Pour dire à l’universCombien Quasimodo aimait Esmeralda la zingara Lui que Dieu avait fait si laid Pour qu’il l’aide à porter sa croix Pour qu’il l’aide à porter sa croix
Mangez mon corps, buvez mon sang Vautours de Montfaucon Que la mort au-delà du temps Unisse nos deux noms
Laissez mon âme s’envoler Loin des misères de la terre Laissez mon amour se mêler À la lumière de l’Univers À la lumière de l’Univers
Danse mon Esmeralda Chante mon Esmeralda Danse encore un peu pour moi Je te désire à en mourir
Danse mon Esmeralda Chante mon Esmeralda Laisse moi partir avec toi Mourir pour toi n’est pas mourirDanse mon Esmeralda Chante mon Esmeralda Viens t’endormir dans mes bras Je te désire à en mourirDanse mon Esmeralda Chante mon Esmeralda Au-delà de l’au-delà Mourir pour toi n’est pas mourirDanse mon Esmeralda Chante mon Esmeralda Laisse moi partir avec toi Mourir pour toi n’est pas mourir -
Dieu que le monde est injuste Lui si beau et moi si laid Je te donnerais la lune Tu ne voudrais pas m’aimerEt lui sans faire un seul geste Sans un mot sans un regard Il a mis de la tendresse Au fond de tes grands yeux noirsTu lui donneras ton corps Tu croiras à ses serments Tu l’aimes pour le dehors Sans voir ce qu’il y a dedans Dieu que le monde est injuste Lui seigneur et moi vaurien Il te donnera la lune Toi qui ne demandais rienDieu que le monde est injuste Aime ton beau cavalier Le satin de ta peau brune N’est pas pour les va-nu-piedsMa laideur est une insulte A ta beauté insolente Une erreur de la nature Qui ne me fut pas aimanteDieu que le monde est injuste Notre lot n’est pas le leur Nous n’avons pas de fortune Mais eux, ont-ils donc un coeurIls sont nés dans la dentelle Pour faire l’amour et la guerre Mais nous pauvres vers de terre Notre vie est bien plus belleEt de quel côté est Dieu Du côté des ostensoirs Ou bien du côté de ceux Qui le prient matin et soirCe Jésus que l’on adore A-t-il toujours préféré Les Rois Mages avec leur or À nous autres pauvres bergersDieu que la vie est cruelle Pour deux coeurs qui se cherchaient Moi si laid et toi si belle Comment pourrais-tu m’aimer -
I hopped aboard a southbound train That took me back in time To a place that I once knew A place where you where mine And I know that I've made up my mind I'm coming home to you I'm coming home to you, baby I hit the road and pick up my bag Like the very first time And dream that I'm here walking with you hand in hand But I know that I've made up my mind I'm comin' home to you I'm comin' home to you, baby And these streets that I walk on Paved with times that have come and gone But now nothin' can keep you away from me See Pick up my courage with both my hands And walk to your front door It seems I've gone through all of this a thousand times before And I know That when you see my face That I've come home to you I've come home for you, baby, hey Oh I know that I've made up my mind That I've come home to you I've come home And these streets that I walk on Paved with times that have come and gone But now nothin' can keep you away from me See I'm comin' home for you, baby I'm comin' home I'm comin' home for you, baby But I know that I've made up my mind I'm comin' home to you I'm comin' home for you Hey, hey
Even when she sleeps She dreams a smile You'll wonder where She's gone to now Every word she speaks She'll catch your breath She'll start to weep But laugh instead Even when it rains She's dancing there She can walk on air If she wants to, if she wants to 'cause it's all to make you crazy for her And the world is just a playground for her - yeah Try to make her yours She'll run and hide When it's way too late You'll realize, you'll realize 'cause it's all to make you crazy for her And the world's a great big playground for her She's a beautiful, beautiful regret 'cause even when she's gone Vanished into air You'll be holding on I've been there, I've been there 'cause it's all to make you crazy for her And the world is a great painted playground for her yeah 'cause it's all to make you crazy for her, for her A great big playground for her yeah
It feels like this thing had just begun We caught then sun on the rise Tasted a sweetness yet to come I saw my life in your eyes And I can't let it go Tried to close down the show If I said that I've moved on Baby inside I know I will be waiting here for you With my heart like an open door Shouldn't believe it but I do That you will come back for more When I see your beauty in the crowd I wish that I could explain Just find the words to tell you how My love is wearing your name And I can't let you go Tried to close down the show If I said that I've moved on Baby inside I know I won't turn out the lights If you were to ­­­stop on by I'll keep a place in my life Where dreams never die
I was in the bedroom packing for a trip You were in the kitchen a smile on your lips What's it gonna matter when this moment's gone? The world's spinning faster but we're just holding on A sudden disaster could roll from sea The earth could just open forget you and me Life is what happens while we're making plans You gave me your heart but it slipped through my hands Did I ever stop to say? Did I ever find a way? To catch you when time flew Did I ever make it show? Did I ever let you know? Nothing else matters but you Nothing else matters but you I was on the rooftop the sun in my eyes You were in a mood for a little surprise But nights turn to days then weeks become years What are we left with when all this disappears? Did I ever stop to say? Did I ever find a way? To catch you when time flew Did I ever make it show? Did I ever let you know? Nothing else matters but you Nothing else matters but you 'Cause time doesn't slip it runs through our hands And just where it goes, I can't understand Like an old photograph, in white and black The hours have faded, but I just want them back, I just want them back Did I ever stop to say? Did I ever find a way? To catch you when time flew Did I ever make it show? Did I ever let you know? Nothing else matters but you Did I ever stop to say? Did I ever find a way? To catch it when time flew Did I ever make it show? Did I ever let you know? Nothing else matters but you
So I found a reason To stay alive To try a little harder See the other side Talking to myself Too many sleepless nights Trying to find a reason To this stupid life Don't want your sympathy Sometimes I don't know who to be Hey, what you're looking for No-one knows the answer They just want more Hey, who's gonna make it right This could be the first day of my life So I found a reason To let it go Tell you that I'm smiling But I still need to grow Will I find salvation In the arms of love Will it stop me searching Will it be enough Don't want your sympathy Sometimes I don't know who to be Hey, what you're looking for No-one knows the answer But you just want more Hey, who's gonna make it right This could be the first day of my life The first time to really feel alive The first time to break the chain The first time to walk away from pain Hey, what you're looking for No-one has the answer They just want more Hey, who's gonna make it right This could be the first day of my life Hey, what you're looking for No-one has the answer They just want more Hey, who's gonna shine a light This could be the first day of my life
Well I'm starting the day trying to find different ways to get through Till it's time to come back And I can't slow it down and I'm climbing the walls and I feel like I'm under attack There's too many people that get in my way And there's never a right time that I get to say When you and I touch hands when you and I stop Still in the moment it's you and I Not running for something that's already gone When it's just you and I that's when I'm home That's when I'm home There's always the question what's holding me down
Show me an answer cause I haven't found A way to escape to get out of it all Somewhere that I am allowed to fall
With no bones to break I can be who I am Cause you know me better than anyone When you and I touch hands when you and I stop Still in the moment it's you and I Not running for something that's already gone When it's just you and I that's when I'm home That's when I'm home Home's not a house with windows and walls not a place to be shut in There are no doors
And no matter where I come to rest your arms will be my safety net
