Le grand secret – Mylène Farmer, Indochine

Laisse-moi être comme toi
Laisse-moi être toi
Laisse-moi être ton sang
Laisse-moi un peu de temps

Je rougirai quand je te verrai
Et quand je te parlerai
Mais quand les lumières seront éteintes
Je te dirigerai sans crainte

Translation:
Let me be like you
Let me be you
Let me be your blood
Give me a little time

I will blush when I see you
And when I speak to you
But when the lights will be turned off
I will lead you without any fear

As much as I enjoy music - singing, listening, playing, recording - I enjoy listing down songs. This is what I hear in my heart, and this defines who I want to be later in life.
