Lyrics and translation Perry Como - You're Nearer

You're Nearer

You're nearer, than my head is to my pillow,
Nearer, than the wind is to the willow.
Dearer, than the rain is to the earth below,
Precious as the sun to the things that grow.
You're nearer, than the ivy to the wall is,
Nearer, than the winter to the fall is.
Leave me, but when you're away, you'll know,
You're nearer, for I love you so!

Tu es plus proche

Tu es plus proche que ma tête de mon oreiller,
Plus proche que le vent du saule.
Plus cher que la pluie pour la terre en contrebas,
Précieux comme le soleil pour les choses qui poussent.
Tu es plus proche que le lierre du mur,
Plus proche que l'hiver de l'automne.
Quitte-moi, mais quand tu seras parti, tu sauras,
Tu es plus proche, car je t'aime tant !
