Lyrics and translation John Coltrane - Why Was I Born
Spending
these
lonesome
evenings
Passer
ces
soirées
solitaires
With
nothing
to
do
Sans
rien
à
faire
But
to
live
in
dreams
that
I
make
up
Mais
vivre
dans
des
rêves
que
j'imagine
All
by
myself
Tout
seul
Dreaming
that
you're
beside
me
Rêver
que
vous
êtes
à
côté
de
moi
I
picture
the
prettiest
stories
J'imagine
les
plus
belles
histoires
Only
to
wake
up
Seulement
pour
me
réveiller
All
by
myself
Tout
seul
What
is
the
good
of
me
by
myself?
À
quoi
bon
moi
tout
seul
?
Why
was
I
born
Pourquoi
suis-je
né
Why
am
I
living
Pourquoi
je
vis
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
Pourquoi
je
veux
une
chose
I
daren't
hope
for
Que
je
n'ose
pas
espérer
What
can
I
hope
for
Que
puis-je
espérer
I
wish
I
knew
Je
voudrais
savoir
Why
do
I
try
Pourquoi
j'essaie
To
draw
you
near
me
De
vous
attirer
près
de
moi
Why
do
I
do
I
cry
Pourquoi
je
pleure
You
never
hear
me
Vous
ne
m'entendez
jamais
I'm
a
poor
fool
Je
suis
un
pauvre
imbécile
But
what
can
I
do
Mais
que
puis-je
faire
Why
was
I
born
Pourquoi
suis-je
né
To
love
you
Pour
vous
aimer
I'm
a
poor
fool
Je
suis
un
pauvre
imbécile
But
what
can
I
do
Mais
que
puis-je
