about

Originally for another project with a singer from Brooklyn, we added the French lyrics and gave it a bit of a Tome Waits vibe for this album.

lyrics

Don't offer me Cristal
I don't want caviar
The only thing I really want
Is to be there where you are.

I have no need for diamonds
Armani suits or Gucci shoes
The only thing I really need
Is to wake up next to you

A coffee on the corner
Pizza from the neighborhood
The simple things with you beside
Are everything that's good.

I have no interest in fine dining
Penthouse suites or limousines.
Just to spend my days with you
Will fulfill my dreams.

me donne pas kristal
je veux pas caviare
je desire seulement
être là avec toi

J'ai besoin pas de diamants
Armani me tente pas
la seule chose dont j'ai besoin
est de réveiller à côté de toi

Un cafe au bistrot
une promenade dans le compagne
les choses simples avec tu seul
sont tout ce qui est bon

haute cuisine m'interesse pas
ni penthouse ni limousines
juste pour être avec toi
c'est tout ce que je rêve.
