Lyrics[]
Chaque chose, tout le monde parlait d'amour
Il fallait bien que cela m'arrive un jour
J'attendais, je t'espérais
J'espérais, je te cherchais
Mais c'est fou, tu existais
L'aventure, c'était toi, et je comprends déjà
Sans toi, à quoi sert d'être libre?
Sans toi, dis, pourquoi faut-il vivre?
Tu t'en vas (Tu t'en vas)
Ma vie part avec toi
Tu reviens (Tu reviens)
J'ai le ciel dans mes mains
C'est le vide, le vide autour de moi
Sans toi
Comme il faisait bon ce soir dans le jardin
J'aime tes secrets et je n'ai peur de rien
Sans toi, à quoi sert d'être libre?
Sans toi, dis, pourquoi faut-il vivre?
Tu t'en vas (Tu t'en vas)
Ma vie part avec toi
Tu reviens (Tu reviens)
J'ai le ciel dans mes mains
C'est le vide, le vide autour de moi
Sans toi
Tu t'en vas (Tu t'en vas)
Ma vie part avec toi
Tu reviens (Tu reviens)
J'ai le ciel dans mes mains
C'est le vide, le vide autour de moi
Sans toi
Sans toi
<poem? Everything, everyone was talking about love One day, it just had to happen to me
I waited, I expected you< I hoped, I looked for you
But good heavens, you existed You were the adventure, and now I understand
Without you, what is being free good for? Without you, tell me, why do we need to live?
You leave (You leave) My life leaves with you You come back (You come back) I've got the sky in my hands It's the emptiness, the emptiness around me Without you
How good the weather was in the garden tonight I love your secrets and I'm afraid of nothing
Without you, what is being free good for? Without you, tell me, why do we need to live?
You leave (You leave) My life leaves with you You come back (You come back) I've got the sky in my hands It's the emptiness, the emptiness around me Without you
You leave (You leave) My life leaves with you You come back (You come back) I've got the sky in my hands It's the emptiness, the emptiness around me Without you
Without you
