Je te Laisserai des Mots Lyrics

Je te laisserai des mots [I will leave you words]

En-dessous de ta porte [underneath your door]
En-dessous de les murs qui chantent [underneath the singing walls]
Tout près de la place où tes pieds passent [just near the place where your feet pass by]
Cachés dans les trous de ton divan [hidden in the holes of your sofa]
Et quand tu es seule pendant un instant [and when you're alone for a moment]
Ramasse-moi [pick me up]
Quand tu voudras [whenever you want]
Ramasse-moi [pick me up]
Quand tu voudras [whenever you want]
Ramasse-moi [pick me up]
Quand tu voudras [whenever you want]

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I changed the lyrics to the original lyrics of Patrick Watson. Most online interpretations are wrong/ translated wrong or whatever.

One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Never lets me down.

I wish more of Patrick Watson's songs were this simple and pure.

He’s leaving the subject with his words and memories, it seems to be a parting message with no bitterness, though a little wistful. Everyone is just a singular point in space and sometimes those points move along side another point for some time, and often those two points diverge paths once more. That’s not to say he’s content or glad, it’s a very mournful tone.

It’s like Christina Rossetti’s “When I Am Dead, My Dearest”, except he’s making sure they think of him.
