Lyrics and translation Ella Fitzgerald - Why Was I Born?
Spending
these
lonesome
evenings
with
nothing
to
do
Je
passe
ces
soirées
solitaires
sans
rien
à
faire
But
to
live
in
dreams
that
I
make
up
Que
de
vivre
dans
des
rêves
que
j'invente
All
by
myself
Toute
seule
Dreaming
that
you're
beside
me
Je
rêve
que
tu
es
à
mes
côtés
I
picture
the
prettiest
stories
only
to
wake
up
J'imagine
les
plus
belles
histoires,
pour
me
réveiller
All
by
myself
Toute
seule
What
is
the
good
of
me
by
myself?
A
quoi
bon
être
seule
?
Why
was
I
born?
Pourquoi
suis-je
née
?
Why
am
I
living?
Pourquoi
suis-je
en
vie
?
What
do
I
get?
Qu'est-ce
que
j'obtiens
?
What
am
I
giving?
Qu'est-ce
que
je
donne
?
Why
do
I
want
a
thing
I
daren't
hope
for?
Pourquoi
désire-je
quelque
chose
que
je
n'ose
pas
espérer
?
What
can
I
hope
for?
I
wish
I
knew
Qu'est-ce
que
je
peux
espérer
? J'aimerais
le
savoir
Why
do
I
try
to
draw
you
near
me?
Pourquoi
essaie-je
de
te
rapprocher
de
moi
?
Why
do
I
do
I
cry?
Pourquoi
pleure-je
?
You
never
hear
me
Tu
ne
m'entends
jamais
I'm
a
poor
fool,
but
what
can
I
do?
Je
suis
une
pauvre
folle,
mais
que
puis-je
faire
?
Why
was
I
born
to
love
you?
Pourquoi
suis-je
née
pour
t'aimer
?
I'm
a
poor
fool,
but
what
can
I
do?
Je
suis
une
pauvre
folle,
mais
que
puis-je
faire
?
Why
was
I
born
to
love
you?
Pourquoi
suis-je
née
pour
t'aimer
?
