I've somehow gotten lost
Got no clue where I'm headed
Standing with my little suitcase
Here on the Champs-Élysées
Suddenly you speak to me
"Salut, qu'est-ce que vous cherchez?"
I say, "Par-don, I'm sorry
I just can't understand you."
But you keep on talking
I kinda find it charming
And draw two cups of coffee
With a pen on your hand
Somehow sounds kinda nice
And time just freezes
I wish I could understand you
la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la
Your long wild hair
The little scar on your face
Even the dust on your jeans
Has flair whenever you speak
The cigarette tastes like liberté
As long as we share it
You speak in body language
And I listen between your lines
I'm hanging on your lips
I don't wanna leave anymore
Yet I don't get a word
Somehow sounds kinda nice
And time just freezes
I wish I could understand you
la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la
The sun drops behind the houses
Ships pass us by
And all that we want
That the moment stays a bit longer
Around us, a thousand people
They all talk at once
But the language we're speaking
Only we two understand
Everything you keep saying
Somehow sounds kinda nice
And time just freezes
I wish I could understand you
la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la
