Lyrics and translation Billy Connolly - Near You
NEAR
YOU
PRÈS
DE
TOI
I
could
sing
you
sad
songs,
Je
pourrais
te
chanter
des
chansons
tristes,
Sing
you
songs,
to
make
you
smile.
Te
chanter
des
chansons,
pour
te
faire
sourire.
I
could
sing
you
love
songs,
Je
pourrais
te
chanter
des
chansons
d'amour,
But
would
that
be
worth
my
while
Mais
est-ce
que
ça
vaudrait
la
peine?
CHORUS
REFRAIN
When
all
I
want
to
do,
Quand
tout
ce
que
je
veux
faire,
Is
be
near
you.
C'est
être
près
de
toi.
I
haven't
any
money,
Je
n'ai
pas
d'argent,
And
I
haven't
any
land.
Et
je
n'ai
pas
de
terre.
I
once
had
lots
of
money,
J'avais
autrefois
beaucoup
d'argent,
But
it
slipped
right
through
my
hand.
Mais
il
m'a
glissé
entre
les
doigts.
CHORUS
REFRAIN
I
don't
want
you
to
read
me
tea
leaves,
Je
ne
veux
pas
que
tu
me
lises
dans
les
feuilles
de
thé,
I
don't
want
you
to
read
my
palm.
Je
ne
veux
pas
que
tu
me
lises
la
main.
I
just
want
you
to
walk
beside
me,
Je
veux
juste
que
tu
marches
à
mes
côtés,
And
see
the
kind
of
man
I
am.
Et
que
tu
vois
le
genre
d'homme
que
je
suis.
CHORUS
REFRAIN
I
could
sing
you
sad
songs,
Je
pourrais
te
chanter
des
chansons
tristes,
Sing
you
songs,
to
make
you
smile.
Te
chanter
des
chansons,
pour
te
faire
sourire.
I
could
sing
you
love
songs,
Je
pourrais
te
chanter
des
chansons
d'amour,
But
would
that
be
worth
my
while
Mais
est-ce

ça
vaudrait
la
peine?
