J'Irai Au Paradis (Three Steps To Heaven)
Eddy Mitchell · Other Songs - Eddy Mitchell
On dit que là-haut les hommes sont égaux
Et l'amour au Ciel n'a pas de prix
Si Dieu le veut, j'irai au paradis, l'Éternité sera mon amie
Si le Dieu le veut, je partirai sans un bruit
Et mon âme reposera au paradis
J'irai avec elle au paradis, les anges seront nos amis
Le soleil brillera pour toi et moi, notre amour survivra au paradis
Sur Terre, la vie souvent n'est que misère
Sur Terre, les hommes ont des cœurs de pierre
Au Ciel, le repos est éternel, le vrai bonheur est ici au paradis
Oui, j'irai avec elle au paradis.
