Le Coeur Grenadine

I left in a tangerine
A navy blue nutshell
A piece of my heart and a sail
Hiding under the tropical wind
In a sweet country, gently
I was born in the gray by accident
In my drawers, in my sleep
Pretty Doudou under the sun

I left on a world map
Between Capricorn and Cancer
Dots surrounded by water, islands
A girl with a still body
But to really dance the biguine
I’d need to touch your skin, my skin
You’re far, you’re so far from me
That I can’t dance the biguine.

{Chorus:}
I’ve got a grenadine heart, oh...
I’ve got a grenadine heart
No sun on my skin
I spend, I spend, I spend nights, nights
Nights caressing paper
Letters from you
But paper doesn’t cut it
I wish so, so, so, so much to be over there
With you.

Five thousand miles behind the sea
Salt traces on your eyelids
Tormented, all wet, your body
Think of me, think of me hard
But to really sleep through the day
I’d need all night of pleasure
You’re far, you’re so far from me
I don’t have any pleasure.

{Chorus}

In a sweet country, gently
I was born in the gray by accident
All my heart stayed over there
In that country I don’t know.

I’ve got a grenadine heart (2x).
