Ma Solitude
Georges Moustaki
My Solitude
For having so often slept
With my solitude
I have almost made it a friend
A sweet habit
She doesn't leave me for a step
Faithful as a shadow
She has followed me here and there
To the four corners of the world
No, I am never alone
With my solitude
When she is in the hollow of my bed
She takes up all the space
And we spend long nights
Both face to face
I really don't know how far
This accomplice will go
Will I have to get used to it
Or react?
No, I am never alone
With my solitude
Through her, I have learned as much
As I have shed tears
If sometimes I reject her
She never gives up
And if I prefer the love
Of another courtesan
She will be on my last day
My last companion
No, I am never alone
With my solitude
No, I am never alone
With my solitude
