La Ternura
Marie Laforêt
The Tenderness
I can live without riches
And poor as well
Of lords and princesses
Very few are seen
But to live without tenderness
I will never be able to
No, no, no, no
I will never be able to
I can live without the glory
Which is not essential
Without being talked about in history
It's all the same to me
But to live without tenderness
What a bitter feeling
No, no, no, no
What a bitter feeling
How sweet is love
How beautiful it is to feel
To desire tenderness
That comes to us at birth
Truth, truth, truth
Youth in its fire
Can understand
That love surrenders its game
With great pleasure
But without tenderness
It is impossible to love
No, no, no, no
It is impossible to love
A child embraces us
We make them very happy
Sadness goes away
Seeing them live like this
My God, my God, my God
In our immense harmony
Immense fervor
We must ask heaven
That no heart
Imposes tenderness
And let love reign
Let love reign
Until God wants
