Macédomienne
Philippe Lafontaine
Macedonian Girl
When she cries
It's the whole Adriatic
That unleashes in her eyes
When she sleeps
It's not far from Ohrid
She dreams by the shores of beautiful blue lakes
I see her again as a little girl with bare feet
There's rain in her hair
In her house with a dirt floor
She left behind the illusions of all her games
She wants nothing but for herself
R.: She has the charm of Macedonian girls
It's essential that I love her and hold on tight
No matter what you do
No matter what you think
She's more beautiful
If anyone doubts it, well! let them come
They'll see how much I gain and that she's mine
You can scream
You can cry
You can laugh but especially not about her
When she lies down
It's against a backdrop of hills
She does whatever she wants with my body
She's a sunflower
Emigrated in the vineyard
With a dry heart that makes a woman out of all fire
A gypsy cry
Hidden in her whispers
She lives love without denial
When she fights
From the height of her wounds
She pretends to have it all
She mocks the gods
Too many want her
