Mea culpa
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.
Il n'avait que douze ans
Et je crois qu'il m'aimait
Il parlait comme un grand
Mais ses joues rougissaient
À douze ans, quand on aime,
On a tant de problèmes
Mea culpa
Être aimée d'un enfant
Ce n'était pas sérieux
Mais il souffrait pourtant
Je l'ai vu dans ses yeux
Il fuyait ton regard
Évitait de te voir
Mea culpa
Tu étais l'étranger
Qui voulais m'empêcher
De l'aimer
Un combat inégal
Un rival
Qui l'a fait tant pleurer,
Pleurer
Il est venu à la maison
Au long des mois
Puis t'a appelé par ton nom
Un soir, je crois
Et il t'a demandé
De le raccompagner
Mea culpa
Sans un mot, d'un regard,
Un enfant peut savoir
Pardonner
Pardonner tout le mal
Au rival
Qui l'a fait tant pleurer
Pleurer
Hum, hum, hum...
Mea culpa
Hum, hum, hum...
Mea culpa {x3}
Hum, hum, hum...
Mea culpa {ad lib}
