Original lyrics:

You were looking for somebody
Je t'ai trouv�e, tu m'attendais
You were needing, a love like me
Je t'esp�rais, tu existais
Let's just take a chance
Laissons-nous une chance
Cause we need to find someone
L'important c'est l'amour
We need to find someone
In a moment when I saw you
Tu m'a souris, �a m'a ravi
I was racing walking toward you
Tu es partie, je t'ai suivi
Let's just take a chance
Laissons-nous une chance
Cause we need to find someone
L'important c'est l'amour
We need to find someone
You ignited a fire in me
Nous on s'aime pour la vie
Let's just take a chance
Laissons-nous une chance
Cause we need to find someone
L'important c'est l'amour
We need to find someone
L'important c'est l'amour
L'important c'est l'amour
L'important c'est l'amour


Lyrics as recorded with Emma Daumas:

You were looking for somebody
Sans trop y croire, tu attendais (Without believing in it too much, you waited)
And you were meeting and I might be
Comme une �vidence, c'�tait �crit (Like an obviousness, it was written)

Let's just take a chance
Laissons nous une chance (We leave a chance)
'Cause we need to find someone
L'important est ailleurs (The important thing is elsewhere)
We need to find someone

In a moment when I saw you
Le temps s'arr�te � me rendre fou (Time stops returning to me insane)
I was racing, walking toward you
Mon coeur s'ent�te � me parler de nous (My heart heading to be spoken to me about us)

Let's just take a chance
Laissons nous une chance (We leave a chance)
'Cause we need to find someone
L'important est ailleurs (The important thing is elsewhere)
We need to find someone

You ignited a fire in me
Si c'�tait pour la vie (If it were for the life)

Let's just take a chance
Laissons nous une chance (We leave a chance)
'Cause we need to find someone
L'important est ailleurs (The important thing is elsewhere)
We need to find someone
L'important est ailleurs (The important thing is elsewhere)
We need to find someone
