Lyrics and translation Richard Thompson - Nearly In Love - Live At The Hammersmith Palais, 20/11/1986
Love
makes
people
so
blind
L'amour
rend
les
gens
si
aveugles
That's
why
I
can't
make
up
my
mind
C'est
pourquoi
je
n'arrive
pas
à
me
décider
If
you
stop
me
dead
in
my
tracks
Si
tu
me
stoppe
net
dans
ma
course
Or
you
just
paper
over
the
cracks
Ou
si
tu
caches
simplement
les
fissures
You're
the
one
I've
wanted
so
long
Tu
es
celle
que
j'ai
tant
désirée
But
then
again
I
might
be
wrong
Mais
d'un
autre
côté,
je
peux
me
tromper
Now
you
look
just
right
in
the
pale
moonlight
Maintenant,
tu
as
l'air
parfaite
au
clair
de
lune
But
let
me
turn
the
headlights
on
Mais
laisse-moi
allumer
les
phares
'Cause
I'm
nearly
in
love
Parce
que
je
suis
presque
amoureux
I'm
nearly
in
love
Je
suis
presque
amoureux
I'm
almost
aware
of
walking
on
air
Je
suis
presque
conscient
de
marcher
sur
l'air
Yes,
I'm
nearly
in
love
Oui,
je
suis
presque
amoureux
I'm
nearly
in
love
Je
suis
presque
amoureux
I'm
nearly
in
love
Je
suis
presque
amoureux
I
wish
I
was
really,
I'd
love
to
dearly
J'aimerais
être
vraiment
amoureux,
j'aimerais
tant
But
I'm
nearly
in
love
Mais
je
suis
presque
amoureux
I
don't
want
to
cause
you
doubt
Je
ne
veux
pas
te
faire
douter
But
I'm
really
checking
you
out
Mais
je
te
scrute
vraiment
You're
the
closest
to
my
heart
bar
none
Tu
es
la
plus
proche
de
mon
cœur,
sans
aucun
doute
Except
for
my
wallet
and
my
gun
À
part
mon
portefeuille
et
mon
arme
I
never
felt
like
this
before
Je
n'ai
jamais
ressenti
ça
auparavant
That's
why
I
want
to
make
quite
sure
C'est
pourquoi
je
veux
être
sûr
That
it's
not
just
a
dose
of
the
'flu
Que
ce
n'est
pas
juste
une
dose
de
grippe
That
gives
me
the
chills
for
you
Qui
me
donne
des
frissons
pour
toi
I'm
nearly
in
love
Je
suis
presque
amoureux
I'm
nearly
in
love
Je
suis
presque
amoureux
I'm
almost
aware
of
walking
on
air
Je
suis
presque
conscient
de
marcher
sur
l'air
Yes
I'm
nearly
in
love
Oui,
je
suis
presque
amoureux
I'm
nearly
in
love
Je
suis
presque
amoureux
I'm
nearly
in
love
Je
suis
presque
amoureux
I
wish
I
was
really,
I'd
love
to
dearly
J'aimerais
être
vraiment
amoureux,
j'aimerais
tant
But
I'm
nearly
in
love
Mais
je
suis
presque
amoureux
I
reserve
the
right
to
love
you
Je
me
réserve
le
droit
de
t'aimer
After
all
I'm
the
first
in
line
Après
tout,
je
suis
le
premier
en
ligne
I'm
not
one
for
shout
and
screaming
Je
ne
suis
pas
du
genre
à
crier
Mine,
all
mine,
all
mine,
all
mine,
all
mine
À
moi,
tout
à
moi,
tout
à
moi,
tout
à
moi,
tout
à
moi
I'm
nearly
in
love
Je
suis
presque
amoureux
I'm
nearly
in
love
Je
suis
presque
amoureux
I'm
almost
aware

Yes
I'm

Oui,
je
suis
presque
amoureux
I'm
nearly
in
love
Je
suis
presque
amoureux
I'm
nearly
in
love
Je
suis
presque
amoureux
I
wish
I
was
really,
I'd
love
to
dearly
J'aimerais
être
vraiment
amoureux,
j'aimerais
tant
But
I'm
nearly
in
love
Mais
je
suis
presque
amoureux
