Moi t’oublier est-il ma puissance

Transcription
-1-
Moi t’oublier est-il ma puissance
Effort cruel qu’on exige de moi
Si tu le veux le repos l’espérance
Je perdrai tout je garderai ma foi (3 fois)
-2-
Je t’oublierai quand la brèche timide
Ira s’offrir au chien qui la poursuit
Je t’oublierai quand le courant rapide
Remontera vers la source qu’il fuit (3 fois)
-3-
Je t’oublierai quand on verra l’abeille
Fuir le travail et gouter le loisir
Je t’oublierai quand la rose vermeille
Refusera le baiser du zéphir (3 fois)
-4-
Oh laissez-moi le plaisir de mes charmes
Il est un bien qui veille mes douleurs
J’aime ma peine elle a pour moi des charmes
Puisque c’est toi qui fait couler mes pleurs (3 fois)
Translation
No. 74: “I’ll lose everything, I’ll keep my faith”
Verse 1: Is it in my power to forget you?
Cruel effort they demand of me
If you want to rest, to hope
I’ll lose everything, I’ll keep my faith
Verse 2: I will forget you when the shy dove
Will offer itself to the dog that pursues it
I will forget you when the rapid stream
Will return to the source that it left
Verse 3: I will forget you when we’ll see the bee
Run away from work and enjoy leisure
I will forget you when the rose
Will refuse the breeze’s kiss
Verse 4: Oh leave me the pleasure of my charms
There is a good which watches over my pains
I love my pain, it has charms for me
Since you are the one that causes my tears to flow
Verse 1: Is it in my power to forget you?
Cruel effort they demand of me
If you want to rest, to hope
I’ll lose everything, I’ll keep my faith
Verse 2: I will forget you when the shy dove
Will offer itself to the dog that pursues it
I will forget you when the rapid stream
Will return to the source that it left
Verse 3: I will forget you when we’ll see the bee
Run away from work and enjoy leisure
I will forget you when the rose
Will refuse the breeze’s kiss
Verse 4: Oh leave me the pleasure of my charms
There is a good which watches over my pains
I love my pain, it has charms for me
Since you are the one that causes my tears to flow
