Lyrics

J'ai cherché

J'ai cherché un sens à mon existence
J'y ai laissé mon innocence
J'ai fini le cœur sans défense
J'ai cherché
L'amour et la reconnaissance
J'ai payé le prix du silence
Je me blesse et recommence

Tu m'as Comme donné l'envie d'être moi
Donné un sens à mes pourquoi
Tu as tué la peur
Qui dormait là, qui dormait là
Dans mes bras

You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song

You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song

J'ai cherché un sens,
un point de repère
Partagé en deux hémisphères
Comme une erreur de l'Univers
J'ai jeté tellement de bouteilles à la mer
J'ai bu tant de liqueurs amères
Que j'en ai les lèvres de pierre

You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song

You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song

Au gré de nos blessures
Et de nos désinvoltures
C'est quand on n'y croit plus du tout
Qu'on trouve un Paradis perdu

En nous-ou-ou-ou-ou
Oh, you, you, you, you

You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song
Like the melody of my song

You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song
Like the melody of my song

You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's mаking me strong
I'll be looking, looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Give me your love with my song
Give me your love with my ѕong

I've Been Looking For

I was looking for a sense in my existence
I have lost my innocence in doing so
I finished my heart without defense
I was looking for
Love and recognition
I paid the price of silence
I hurt myself and start again

You gave me like the need to be me
Gave a sense to my why's
You killed the fear
Sleeping there, sleeping there
In my arms

You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song

You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song

I was looking for a sense
A point of reference
Divided into two hemispheres
Like an error of the universe
I threw so many bottles into the sea
I drank so many bitter liqueurs
That I got lips of stone from it

You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song

You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song

According to our injuries
And to our casualness
It's when you don't believe in at all,
That you will find a paradise lost

Within u-u-us
Oh, you, you, you, you

You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song
Like the melody of my song

You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's making me strong
I'll be looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Like the melody of my song
Like the melody of my song

You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You're the one that's mаking me strong
I'll be looking, looking, looking for
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
Give me your love with my song
Give me your love with my ѕong
