Nina Simone Lyrics

"Let It Be Me" lyrics


Gilbert Becaud, M. Curtis, Pierre Delanoe
I bless the day I found you,I want to stay around youAnd so I beg you, let it be me.
Don't take this heaven from one,If you must cling to someoneNow and forever, let it be me.
Each time we meet, love,I find complete love.Without your sweet loveWhat would life be?
So never leave me lonely,Tell me you'll love me onlyAnd that you'll always let it be me.
If for each bit of gladnessSomeone must taste of sadnessI'll bear the sorrow, let it be me.
No matter what the price isI'll make no sacrifices.Through each tomorrow let it be me.
To you I'm praying,Hear what I'm saying.Please, let your heart beatFor me, just me.
And never leave me lonely,Tell me you'll love me onlyAnd that you'll always let it be me,Let it be me.

Original French lyrics
Comme l'argileL'insecte fragileL'esclave docileJe t'appartiens
De tout mon⌦㔲㬴treTu es le seul ma�?treJe dois me soumettreJe t'appartiens
Si tu condamnesJetant mon ‰meAu creux des flammesJe n'y peux rien1
Avec les peinesL'amour et la haineCoulant dans mes veinesJe t'appartiens
Que puis-je fairePour te satisfairePatron de la terreSur mon chemin
Comme les angesChanter tes louangesMais je ne suis pas un angeTu le sais bien
Je ne suis qu'un hommeRien qu'un pauvre hommeJe t'aime commeComme un copain
Souvent je penseQue dans ton immensePalais de silenceTu dois⌦㔲㬴tre bien
