Petite rue de casbah
Au milieu de casa
Petite brune enroulée d'un drap
Court autour de moi
Ses yeux remplis de "pourquoi?"
Cherchent une réponse en moi
Elle veut vraiment que rien ne soit sûr
Dans tout ce qu'elle croit

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Ta couleur et tes mots tout me va
Que tu vives ici ou là-bas
Danse avec moi (Danse avec moi)
Si tu crois que ta vie est là
Ce n'est pas un problème pour moi
L'Aziza (L'Aziza)
Je te veux si tu veux de moi

Et quand tu marches le soir
Ne trembles pas
Laisse glisser les mauvais regards
Qui pèsent sur toi
L'Aziza, ton étoile jaune c'est ta peau
Tu n'as pas le choix
Ne la porte pas comme on porte un fardeau
Ta force c'est ton droit

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Ta couleur et tes mots tout me va
Que tu vives ici ou là-bas
Danse avec moi (Danse avec moi)
Si tu crois que ta vie est là
Ce n'est pas un problème pour moi
L'Aziza (L'Aziza)
Je te veux si tu veux de moi

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

L'Aziza
Ta couleur et tes mots tout me va
Danse avec moi (Danse avec moi)
Que tu vives ici ou là-bas
Ce n'est pas un problème pour moi, oh oh

L'Aziza (L'Aziza)
Je te veux si tu veux de moi

L'Aziza (L'Aziza)
Si tu crois que ta vie est là
Il n'y a pas de loi contre ça, oh oh

L'Aziza (L'Aziza)
Fille enfant de prophète roi

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Ta couleur et tes mots tout me va
Que tu vives ici ou là-bas
Danse avec moi (Danse avec moi)
Si tu crois que ta vie est là
Ce n'est pas un problème pour moi
L'Aziza (L'Aziza)
Je te veux si tu veux de moi
