'Michelle' Lyrics:
מישל זו אהבה רעילה אני באפלה איך השארת אותי בצל כוכבת בלי תהילה משוגעת גדולה אני קם ונופל
Oh Michelle,
Je ne sais plus quoi faire
Tu étais ma lumière
Dieu j’t’en supplie réveille-moi
J’ai plongé dans le noir
Ramène-moi de l’espoir
Et ma mademoiselle
Alors je danse, danse avec les maux
Tu me verras rire, rire à nouveau
T’es ma douleur, j’n’étais qu’un décor
J’ai crié
REFRAIN:
Michelle! Je te laisse partir, adieu ma belle
Je te laisse partir, mais je t’aime
La reine des problèmes
Michelle, Michelle, Michelle, Michelle
Walking down Florentin,
Ocean eyes, Memories
I, I’m Losing my mind
An angel, but is it hell -
Trapped in your carousel - Round and round
Under your spell, Michelle!
REFRAIN
ואולי בסוף יהיה לנו טוב
מתפלל עלייך שתזכי לאהוב
בין דמעה לדמעה
יש מי שישמע
יש מי שישמע
