Lyrics Translation
Tu me dis de regarder la vie en couleur
You tell me to look at life in color
Quand il fait noir autour de moi
When it’s dark around me
Sur le dos j’ai trainé pas mal de douleurs
On my back I suffered a lot of pain
Toi tu me portais à bout de bras
You carried me at arm’s length
Non, non, non
No, no, no
Je n’ai pas toujours été sûr de moi
I wasn’t always sure of myself
J’ai douté tellement de fois
I doubted so many times
Non, non, non
No, no, no
Je ne sais pas ce que je ferai sans toi
I don’t know what I’ll do without you
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
On dirait, qu’on a tous un ange
It seems like we all have an angel
On dirait, on dirait bien que c’est toi
It looks like, it looks like it’s you
On dirait, que dans ce monde étrange
It seems that in this strange world
On dirait, que t’as toujours été là
It seems like you’ve always been there
Tu me dis que mon rêve est juste à côté
You tell me my dream is right next door
Que j’ai juste à tendre la main
That I just have to reach out
Toute ma vie j’peux la passer à t’écouter
I can spend my whole life listening to you
La douceur est ton seul refrain
Gentleness is your only refrain
Non, non, non
No, no, no
Ce n’est pas toujours facile pour moi
It’s not always easy for me
J’ai prié tellement de fois
I prayed so many times
Non, non, non
No, no, no
Je ne sais pas ce que je ferai sans toi
I don’t know what I’ll do without you
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
On dirait, qu’on a tous un ange
It seems like we all have an angel
On dirait, on dirait bien que c’est toi
It looks like, it looks like it’s you
On dirait, que dans ce monde étrange
It seems that in this strange world
On dirait, que t’as toujours été là
It seems like you’ve always been there
Tout, tout, tourne autour de toi
Everything, everything, revolves around you
Toi, t’es la seule qui voit
You are the only one who sees
La beauté bien cachée derrière les visages
The beauty hidden behind faces
Tout, tout, tourne autour de toi
Everything, everything, revolves around you
Toi, tu sais lire en moi
You know how to read me
Promets-moi de n’jamais tourner la page
Promise me you’ll never turn the page
On dirait, qu’on a tous un ange
It seems like we all have an angel
On dirait, on dirait bien que c’est toi
It looks like, it looks like it’s you
On dirait, que dans ce monde étrange
It seems that in this strange world
On dirait, que t’as toujours été là
It seems like you’ve always been there
