Lyrics and translation Billie Holiday - Easy to Love

Easy to Love

Facile à aimer

I know too well that I'm just wasting precious time

Je sais trop bien que je perds un temps précieux

In thinking such a thing could be

À penser qu'une telle chose pourrait être

That you could ever care for me

Que tu pourrais un jour te soucier de moi

I'm sure you hate to hear

Je suis sûr que tu détestes entendre

That I adore you, dear

Que je t'adore, cher

But grant me

Mais accorde-moi

Just the same

Tout de même

I'm not entirely to blame

Je ne suis pas entièrement à blâmer

For love

Pour l'amour

You'd be so easy to love

Tu serais si facile à aimer

So easy to idolize

Si facile à idolâtrer

All others above

Au-dessus de tous les autres

So worth the yearning for

Si digne d'être désiré

So swell to keep every homefire burning for

Si merveilleux pour maintenir chaque foyer allumé

We'd be so grand at the game

Nous serions si brillants dans le jeu

So carefree together

Si insouciants ensemble

That it does seem a shame

C'est vraiment dommage

That you can't see

Que tu ne puisses pas voir

Your future with me

Ton avenir avec moi

'Cause you'd be oh, so easy to love

Parce que tu serais oh, si facile à aimer
