Parce Que
Charles Aznavour
Because
Because you have blue eyes
That your hair enjoys challenging the sun
With its fiery brightness
Because you're twenty years old
And you bite into life like a crimson fruit
That we pick while laughing
You think you can do anything and only do what you want
Sorry for a moment ready to start over
You play with my heart like a spoiled child
Who demands a toy just to break it into pieces
Because I have too much love
You come steal my nights from the depths of my sleep
And make my days cry
But be careful, darling, I don't take responsibility for anything
If my reason wanders and if I lose patience
I can erase our hearts from existence in one stroke
Of which you are the only goal and the only link
Because I only have you
The heart is my only master and master of my heart
Love dictates to us
Because you live in me
And nothing replaces the moments of happiness
That I take in your arms
I won't care about
God, nor men
I am ready to die if you were to die one day
Because death is just a game compared to love
And life means nothing without the love it gives us
Because I am on the threshold
Of an eternal love I wish that my heart
Did not mourn
Because
Because
Because
