Lyrics and translation Billie Holiday - Why Was I Born? (with Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra)




Why Was I Born? (with Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra)
Pourquoi suis-je né ?
Why was I born
Pourquoi suis-je ?
Why am I livin'
Pourquoi je vis ?
What do I get
Qu'est-ce que j'obtiens ?
What am I givin'
Qu'est-ce que je donne ?
Why do I want for things
Pourquoi est-ce que je désire des choses
I dare not hope for
J'ose espérer ?
What can I hope for
Que puis-je espérer ?
I wish I knew
J'aimerais le savoir
Why do I try
Pourquoi est-ce que j'essaie
To draw you near me
De t'attirer vers moi ?
Why do I cry
Pourquoi est-ce que je pleure ?
You never hear me
Tu ne m'entends jamais.
I'm a poor fool
Je suis une pauvre idiote
But what can I do
Mais que puis-je faire ?
Oh baby why was I born
Oh baby, pourquoi suis-je née
To love you
Pour t'aimer ?
