Lyrics and translation Paul Simon - Mother and Child Reunion (with The Jessy Dixon Singers & Urubamba) (Live)
No,
I
would
not
give
you
false
hope
Non,
je
ne
te
donnerais
pas
de
faux
espoir
On
this
strange
and
mournful
day
En
ce
jour
étrange
et
triste
But
the
mother
and
child
reunion
Mais
la
réunion
de
la
mère
et
de
l'enfant
Is
only
a
motion
away
N'est
qu'un
mouvement
Oh,
little
darling
of
mine
Oh,
mon
petit
chéri
I
can′t
for
the
life
of
me
Je
ne
peux
pas
pour
ma
vie
Remember
a
sadder
day
Me
souvenir
d'un
jour
plus
triste
I
know
they
say
"let
it
be"
Je
sais
qu'ils
disent
"laisse
faire"
But
it
just
don't
work
out
that
way
Mais
ça
ne
se
passe
pas
comme
ça
And
the
course
of
a
lifetime
runs
Et
le
cours
d'une
vie
passe
Over
and
over
again
Encore
et
encore
No,
I
would
not
give
you
false
hope
(no)
Non,
je
ne
te
donnerais
pas
de
faux
espoir
(non)
On

Oh,
little
darling
of
mine
Oh,
mon
petit
chéri
I
just
can′t
believe
it's
so
Je
n'arrive
pas
à
croire
que
c'est
vrai
Though
it
seems
strange
to
say
Bien
que
cela
semble
étrange
à
dire
I
never
been
laid
so
low
Je
n'ai
jamais
été
aussi
bas
In
such
a
mysterious
way
D'une
manière
si
mystérieuse
And
the
course
of
a
lifetime
runs
Et
le
cours
d'une
vie
passe
Over
and
over
again
Encore
et
encore
But
I

reunion
Quand
la
réunion
de
la
mère
et
de
l'enfant
Is
only
