Lyrics[]
Un, deux, trois
Ma politique à moi
C'est d'être aimée de toi
Et chanter lalala lala lala...
Un, deux, trois
La vie n'est pas pour moi
Un livre de Kafka
Un, deux, trois
Jouez, jouez, musiciens
Enchantez-moi, magiciens
Tourne, tourne dans ma tête à moi
Fais briller les yeux des enfants-rois
Fais-moi rêver, comédien
Chante, danse, baladin
Dans la ronde folle, entraînez-moi
Donnez-moi l'amour et la joie
Un, deux, trois (Un, deux, trois)
Qu'il pleuve sur les toits (Sur les toits)
Qu'il neige sur les bois
Il fait si bon dans tes bras, lala lala...
Un, deux, trois (Un, deux, trois)
Je n'entends que ta voix (Que ta voix)
Je ne vis que pour toi
Je t'aime
Jouez, jouez, musiciens
Enchantez-moi, magiciens
Tourne, tourne dans ma tête à moi
Fais briller les yeux des enfants-rois
Fais-moi rêver, comédien
Chante, danse, baladin
Dans la ronde folle, entraînez-moi
Donnez-moi l'amour et la joie
Lala lalala... lala lala...
Lala lalala... lala lala...
Fais-moi rêver, comédien
Chante, danse, baladin
Dans la ronde folle, entraînez-moi
Sol mi sol sol fa mi...
Sol mi sol sol fa mi...
Donnez-moi l'amour et la joie
One, two, three
My own policy
Is to be loved by you
And to sing lalala lala lala
One, two, three
Life is not for me
A book by Kafka
One, two, three
Play, play, musicians
Enchant me, magicians
Make my head turn
Make the eyes of the king-children shine
Make me dream, comedian
Sing, dance, entertainer
Take me off into the crazy circle
Give me love and joy
One, two, three (One, two three)
May it rain on the roofs (on the roofs)
May it rain in the forests
It's so nice in your arms, lala lala
One, two, three (One, two, three)
I only hear your voice (only your voice)
I only live for you
I love you
Play, play, musicians
Enchant me, magicians
Make my head turn
Make the eyes of the king-children shine
Make me dream, comedian
Sing, dance, entertainer
Take me off into the crazy circle
Give me love and joy
Lala lalala... lala lala...
Lala lalala... lala lala...
Make me dream, comedian
Sing, dance, entertainer
Take me off into the crazy circle
Sol mi sol sol fa mi...
Sol mi sol sol fa mi...
Give me love and joy
