lyrics

dans le creux de ma main
il y a trois chemins
j'ai pris celui du milieu
Áa sentait bon la lavande
que je venais de toucher
Áa sentait mÍme la pomme
que je venais de manger
et Áa sentait le baiser
que ma maman avait posÈ
avant d'aller travailler

dans le creux de ma main
un p'tit grain a poussÈ
on l'appelle 'grain de beautÈ'

dans le creux de ma main
il y a trois chemins
j'ai pris celui du milieu

translation
"beauty spot"
in the hollow of my hand
there are three ways
I took the middle one
it smelt much like the lavender
that I had just touched
it even smelt like the apple
that I had just eaten
and it smelt like the kiss
that my mummy had dropped
before going to work

in the hollow of my hand
a little grain has grown
we call it 'beauty spot'

in the hollow of my hand
there are three ways
I took the middle one

notes
