Let it be me


Gilbert Becaud, M. Curtis, Pierre Delanoe

I bless the day I found you,
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me.
Don't take this heaven from one,
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me.
Each time we meet, love,
I find complete love.
Without your sweet love
What would life be?
So never leave me lonely,
Tell me you'll love me only
And that you'll always let it be me.
If for each bit of gladness
Someone must taste of sadness
I'll bear the sorrow, let it be me.
No matter what the price is
I'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 beat
For me, just me.
And never leave me lonely,
Tell me you'll love me only
And that you'll always let it be me,
Let it be me.

Original French lyrics
Comme l'argile
L'insecte fragile
L'esclave docile
Je t'appartiens
De tout mon�㬴tre
Tu es le seul ma'tre
Je dois me soumettre
Je t'appartiens
Si tu condamnes
Jetant mon â?°me
Au creux des flammes
Je n'y peux rien1
Avec les peines
L'amour et la haine
Coulant dans mes veines
Je t'appartiens
Que puis-je faire
Pour te satisfaire
Patron de la terre
Sur mon chemin
Comme les anges
Chanter tes louanges
Mais je ne suis pas un ange
Tu le sais bien
Je ne suis qu'un homme
Rien qu'un pauvre homme
Je t'aime comme
Comme un copain
Souvent je pense
Que dans ton immense
Palais de silence
Tu dois�㬴tre bien

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Nina Simone, born Eunice Kathleen Waymon (1933-2003), was a legendary American singer-songwriter, pianist, and activist. Born in North Carolina to a deeply religious African American family, she displayed an extraordinary musical talent at an early age. After studying classical music at the Philadelphia Conservatory, Simone dedicated herself to jazz and blues, quickly becoming an iconic figure on the 1960s music scene. Her powerful and versatile voice, accompanied by her passionate piano playing, allowed her to address social and political issues with courage and sensitivity. Simone was a fervent supporter of civil rights, using her music as a tool of protest against racism and social injustice. Songs like «Mississippi Goddam» and «Four Women» became anthems of the fight for social justice. Her musical influence has been profound and lasting, inspiring generations of artists in various disciplines. Among her most important albums are *I Put a Spell on You* (1965) and *Wild Is the Wind* (1966).
