Lyrics[]
Alors, j'ai l'histoire d'une fille forte
Une fille qui lutte avec amour
Pour remplir sa mission
Elle me dit que les hommes enfants
Ne sont pas bons pour moi
Puis elle me tient jusqu'à la glace
Et place des bijoux dans mes yeux
I am love
Et j'ai une petite histoire sur
Ce garçon à l'esprit libre
C'est mon frère, c'est un pionier
Il m'a dit "tu es tout et tout est tien"
Ensemble ils réparent mon coeur brisé
Et en chantant chansons circulaires
Ensemble ils sont ma famille
Et avec eux je suis l’amour
Love
I am love
"Tu es un grand cheval noir", me dit-elle
"Et un petit chevalier te trouvera
Parcourant les rues, parcourant les déserts
Il viendra, car tu es amour"
So I have the story about a strong girl
A girl who struggles with love
To fulfill her mission
She says that the childish men
Are not good for me
Then she draws me to the mirror
And put jewels in my eyes
I am love
And I have a little story about
That free minded boy
He's my brother, he's a pioneer
He told me, "you are everything and everything is yours"
Together they repair my broken heart
And singing Circle Song
Together they are my family
And with them I am love
Love
I am love
"You're a valiant black horse" she said
"And a little knight will find you
Searching the streets, searching the deserts
He will come, for you are love"
