Original Lyrics

Saint-Germain

Pour un exil
Ce petit bout de femme t’emmèneras loin
Tout est permis
J’ai mis mes pas dans les siens
Elle est bien le soleil
Puisque tout tourne autour d’elle
Petite merveille

Pas si facile
D’être aussi pure dans un monde qu’il est moins
Mille et une symphonies
Qu’elle inventera en un rien
Enfin le bonheur
C’est toutes les couleurs de son cœur…

Tu donnes goût à la vie
Je t’avoue, je t’envie
T’es tout ce qui m’donne envie
M’donne la vie
Melody

Je m’adoucis
Quand je m'rends compte
Qu’au fond elle m’aime bien
Pour un de ses sourires
Je f 'rais le tour d'la terre sur les mains
Aux nouvelles des étoiles
Elle fait briller son âme
Quand l'jour s’enflamme

Tu donnes goût à la vie
Je t’avoue, je t’envie
T’es tout ce qui m’donne envie
M’donne la vie
Melody		 English Translation

St-Germain*

For an exile 
This little piece of woman will bring you far 
Everything is allowed 
I put my steps in hers 
She's the sun indeed 
Since everything turns around her 
Little wonder 

Not so easy 
To be so pure in a world that it is less 
Thousand and one symphonies 
That she'll invent in no time 
Finally happiness 
It's all the colors of her heart 

You give the taste of life 
I admit (confess) to you I envy you 
You're everything that makes me envy 
Give me life 
Melody 

I am softened (subdued) 
When I realize 
That indeed she likes me very much
For one of her smiles I'll go 
Around the earth on my hands 
Of the news of the stars 
She makes her soul shine (twinkle/sparkle) 
When the day inflames (ignites) 

You give the taste of life 
I admit to you I envy you 
You're everything that makes me envy 
Give me life 
Melody

* St-Germain is a Parisian quarter, the quarter of the artists
