Toi qui sais
Édith Piaf
You Who Knows
You told me: "Let’s take back our freedom
It’s over, it’s better for us to part ways
And start our lives anew, each on our own
Here’s the end of a long poem..."
I said: "That’s fine! But you gotta help me:
There’s someone who loves me and is waiting nearby
He doesn’t want to believe that I can love him
Love him... as much as he loves me..."
You who knows how I am when I’m in love
Tell him...
You who knows how I am when I’m happy
Tell him...
Gather all our memories
And then go tell him
How we used to laugh
Together...
You who knows how loyal I am to my love
Tell him...
Go tell him how to love this great love
Go tell him it was the best of days
Tell him how you courted me
And that it was a beautiful Sunday
Go tell him the wonder of our mornings
And how we lived hand in hand
Our kisses that never seemed to end
And then our wild sleepless nights...
You who knows how I am when spring is here
Tell him...
You who knows how I am when you’re in my arms
Tell him...
Insist! Tell him about our life
And then especially tell him
That far from you I’m so sad...
You who knows that my love for you
Will never end...
Don’t tell him...
I beg you...
Or... just tell him...
