Lyrics
Nantes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, it's been a long time, long time now
Since I've seen you smile
And I'll gamble away my fright
And I'll gamble away my time
And in a year, a year or so
This will slip into the sea
Well it's been a long time, long time now
Since I've seen you smile
Nobody raise your voices
Just another night in Nantes
Nobody raise your voices
Just another night in Nantes
We saw
Ah non, j't'en prie
Mais ço (ça), ça me facine
Je t'assure que
Non! Laisse-moi!
Qu'est-ce que tu as aujourd'hui?
J'ai que les hommes me dégoûtent
Vous pensez qu'à ça
