Lyrics

Dans ma vie le plein soleil (The sunshine of my days)

Pas a  pas de jour en jour (step by step and day by day)

Ton bonheur fait toujours mon bonheur (your happiness is always my happiness)
c'est le c?ur de ma vie... (it's the heart of my life)

Le soleil d�©j�  se sauve (The sun is getting away)
Les �©toiles bient�´t vont luire (soon the stars are going to shine)
Il fait nuit, le ciel est mauve (it's night, the sky is purple)
quand la lune va s'ouvrir (when the moon is about to shine)
Et la paix de ton sommeil (And your peaceful sleep)
est comme l'air que je respire (is like the air that I breathe)
Ton bonheur fait toujours mon bonheur (your happiness is always my happiness)
c'est ma raison de vivre... (it's the purpose of my life)

YÃ?"YÃ?Â?, YÃ?"YÃ?Â?...
YÃ?"YÃ?Â?, alegria!
