Lyrics and translation Elton John - Tortured
I'd
like
to
make
this
song
so
simple
J'aimerais
rendre
cette
chanson
si
simple
Don't
want
to
hide
my
feeling
under
Je
ne
veux
pas
cacher
mes
sentiments
sous
des
Drawn
up
words
in
shades
of
many
colours
Mots
inventés
dans
des
nuances
de
nombreuses
couleurs
How
can
I
make
them
think
I
am
clever
Comment
puis-je
leur
faire
croire
que
je
suis
intelligent
By
merely
saying
that
I
miss
you
En
disant
simplement
que
tu
me
manques
It's
just
a
state
they
claim
I'm
going
through
C'est
juste
un
état
par
lequel
ils
prétendent
que
je
passe
Don't
want
you
to
think
that
I
am
weakening
Je
ne
veux
pas
que
tu
penses
que
je
faiblis
Although
you
know
I'm
always
dreaming
Bien
que
tu
saches
que
je
rêve
toujours
Someday
you'll
be
coming
home
to
me
Un
jour
tu
rentreras
à
la
maison
avec
moi
Tortured,
I've
been
so
tortured
Torturé,
j'ai
été
tellement
torturé
By
you
so
many
times
(so
many
times)
Par
toi
tant
de
fois
(tant
de
fois)
But
you
always
love
the
ones
that
hurt
you
Mais
tu
aimes
toujours
ceux
qui
te
font
mal
And
I
guess
those
are
the
ties
that
bind
Et
je
suppose
que
ce
sont
les
liens
qui
nous
unissent
Tortured
by
you
Torturé
par
toi
If
I
had
taken
parting
easy
Si
j'avais
pris
la
séparation
à
la
légère
It
might
have
been
a
better
lesson
Ça
aurait
peut-être
été
une
meilleure
leçon
For
all
concerned
in
wars
of
love
and
hate
Pour
tous
ceux
concernés
dans
les
guerres
d'amour
et
de
haine
How
can
you
swear
through
words
and
music
Comment
peux-tu
jurer
par
les
mots
et
la
musique
The
heart
you
crave
and
how
to
move
it
Le
cœur
que
tu
désires
et
comment
l'émouvoir
It's
just
a
beach
you
washed
my
body
onto
C'est
juste
une
plage
sur
laquelle
tu
as
jeté
mon
corps
Don't
want
you
to
know
that
I
an
crying
Je
ne
veux
pas
que
tu
saches
que
je
pleure
Although
your
friends
can
see
I'm
dying
Bien
que
tes
amis
puissent
voir
que
je
meurs
Slowly
from
the
knife
you
left
in
me
Lentement
du
couteau
que
tu
as
laissé
en
moi
Tortured,
I've
been
so
tortured
Torturé,
j'ai
été
tellement
torturé
By
you
so
many
times
(so
many
times)
Par
toi
tant
de
fois
(tant
de
