Himalaya
Johnny Hallyday · Originaux [2010]
J'irai là -bas, comme on monte sur un toit.
J'irai là -bas, si je sais que tu es là ...
J'irai vers toi, sans gants, souliers, ni sherpa, j'irai vers toi.
Himalaya !
J'irai là -bas, malgré le froid ou la loi...
J'irai vers toi, comme on va au combat.
J'irai vers toi, même si tous les chiens aboient... J'irai là -bas.
Himalaya !
Roc d'amour, le plus haut de la vie, sommet blanc du paradis...
J'irai vers toi, comme on supplie pour sa foi.
J'irai là -bas, comme on insulte un roi...
J'irai là -bas si je sais que tu es là ... J'irai là -bas.
Himalaya ! Himalaya !
