Je L'Aimais (Il Est Fou)
Johnny Hallyday · J'Ai Oublié De Vivre [2006]
Je prendrai un couteau d'acier et j'irai dans la forêt.
Le jour, la nuit, sans m'arrêter, sur les arbres, je graverai
"Je l'aimais, je l'aimais, je l'aimais".
Je prendrai un bateau d'acier et j'irai sur l'océan.
Je chercherai des ouragans et face au vent, je crierai
"Je l'aimais, je l'aimais, je l'aimais".
Je prendrai un casque d'acier et j'irai chercher bataille
Et au milieu de la mitraille, en mourant, je hurlerai
"Je l'aimais, je l'aimais, je l'aimais".
