Si tu veux que je te dise

Si tu veux que je te dise
Gillian Hills Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Si tu veux que je te dise que je t'aime
Si tu veux que je te dise des poemes
Si tu veux que je te dise, veux que je te dise
Veux que je te dise, veux que je te dise
Voila, viens m'embrasser

Si tu veux que je sois plus qu'une amie
Qui pourrait aucun autre que toi pour la vie

Si tu veux que je te dise, veux que je te dise
Veux que je te dise, veux que je te dise
Donne-moi un baiser

Tu me ferais le plus doux nid de tes deux bras
Ou je pourrais y cacher mes peines et mes joies
Sans cette timidite qui te mine
Tu serais Pierrot et moi Colombine
Si tu veux que je te dise, veux que je te dise
Veux que je te dise, veux que je te dise
Ose au moins me parler

Ce matin dans l'escalier
Nos mains se sont frolés
Et on s'est regarde
Tremblante un peu
Quand j'ai baisse les yeux
J'ai senti que tes bras m'enlaçaient

Si tu veux que demande a mon père
Si tu veux que demande a ma mère
Si tu veux que je te dise, veux que je te dise
Veux que je te dise, veux que je te dise
Alors il faut m'aimer

Tu m'offriras des bouquets de "Je t'aime"
Tu tapisseras ma vie de poèmes

Si tu veux que je te dise, mais que je te dise
Mais que je te dise, mais que je te dise
Alors viens m'embrasser
(M'embrasser)"

If you want me to tell you that I love you
If you want me to tell you poems
If you want me to say, I want to tell you
Want me to tell you, you want me to say
Voila, just kiss me

If you want me to be more than a friend
Who could no one but you for life
If you want me to say, I want to tell you
Want me to tell you, you want me to say
Give me a kiss

You would do me the sweetest nest your arms
Or I could be hiding my joys and my sorrows
Without this timidity makes you mine
You'd be Pierrot and I'd be Columbine
If you want me to say, I want to tell you
Want me to tell you, you want me to say
at least dare to talk to me

This morning on the stairs
Our hands grazed
And we were looking
Trembling slightly
When I look down
I felt your arms entwined me

If you want to ask my father
If you want to ask my mother
If you want me to say, want me tell you
Want me to tell you, you want me to say
You must love me

You will offer me bouquets of "I love you"
You will make my life a tapestry of poems

If you want me to tell you, but I tell you
But I tell you, but I tell you

Then come kiss me
(Kiss me) "
