Lyrics and translation Fred Astaire - So Near And Yet So Far
My
dear,
I've
a
feeling
you
are
Ma
chérie,
j'ai
l'impression
que
tu
es
So
near
and
yet
so
far
Si
près
et
pourtant
si
loin
You
appear
like
a
radiant
star
Tu
apparais
comme
une
étoile
radieuse
First
so
near
then
again
so
far
D'abord
si
près,
puis
de
nouveau
si
loin
I
just
start
getting
you
keen
Je
commence
juste
à
te
donner
envie
On
clinches
galore
with
me
De
me
serrer
dans
tes
bras
à
foison
When
fate
steps
in
on
the
scene
Quand
le
destin
intervient
sur
la
scène
And
mops
up
the
floor
with
me
Et
me
fait
ravaler
ma
fierté
No
wonder,
I'm
a
bit
under
par
Pas
étonnant
que
je
sois
un
peu
en
dessous
de
la
moyenne
For
you're
so
near
and
yet
so
far
Car
tu
es
si
près
et
pourtant
si
loin
My
condition
is
only
so,
so
Mon
état
n'est
que
passable
'Cause
whenever
I
feel
you're
close,
oh
Parce
que
chaque
fois
que
j'ai
l'impression
que
tu
es
proche,
oh
You
turn
out
to
be,
oh,
so
far
Tu
te
révèles
être,
oh,
si
loin
I
just
start
getting
you
keen
