Le droit d'aimer
Édith Piaf
The Right to Love
Let them rise or let them die
These red or gray suns
And let the hours turn
And let life pass by
In the face of mankind
Disregarding their laws
Nothing and no one
Will stop me from loving.
I have the right to love
I have the right
In the face of mankind
Disregarding their laws
Nothing and no one
Will stop me from loving.
Wishing for weddings
Like those of kids
In the age of love
I wanted this right!
Through mornings of drunkenness
And nights of distress,
Fighting for this love,
I earned this right!
Through the fear of losing everything
At the risk of losing myself
So that love can live
I paid for this right!
Though time doesn’t erase
Neither grief nor joy
No matter what they say or do
As long as my heart beats
Whatever the crown
The thorns or the cross
Nothing and no one
Will stop me from loving…
I have the right to love
I have the right…
In the face of mankind,
Disregarding their laws,
Nothing and no one
Will stop me from loving…
From loving you…
From being loved…
From being loved…
