Struggling with Regrets? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
Loin très loin du monde Où rien ne meurt jamais J'ai fait ce long, Ce doux voyage, Nos âmes se confondent Aux neiges éternelles L'amour cachait Son vrai visage Oh viens, ne sois plus sage Après tout qu'importe Je sais la menace Des amours mortes Gardons l'innocence Et l'insouciance De nos jeux d'antan, troublants. N'aie pas de regret Fais moi confiance, et pense A tous les no way L'indifférence des sens N'aie pas des regret Fais la promesse,tu sais que L'hiver et l'automne n'ont pu s'aimer Debout la tête ivre Des rêves suspendus Je bois à nos amours Infirmes Au vent que je devine Nos lèvres éperdues S'offrent des noces Clandestines N'ouvre pas la porte Tu sais le piège De tous les remords De l'anathème Je me fous des saisons Viens je t'emmène Là, où dorment ceux qui s'aiment. N'aie pas de regret
