Lyrics
English adaptation of "la tendresse" from Bourvil
Begin with a gentle piano melody accompanied by lush string harmonies to evoke deep emotion
We can live without wealth
Almost without a penny
There are no more lords and princesses
But living without tenderness
We could not do it
No, no, no, no
We could not do it
We can live without glory
Which proves nothing
Be unknown in history
And be fine with it
But living without tenderness
It is out of the question
No, no, no, no
It is out of the question
What a sweet weakness
What a lovely feeling
This need for tenderness
That comes to us at birth
Truly, truly, truly
Work is necessary
But if we have to stay
Weeks without doing anything
Well... we get used to it
But living without tenderness
Time seems long
Long, long, long, long
Time seems long
In the fire of youth
Pleasures are born
And love performs feats
To dazzle us
But without tenderness
Love would be nothing
No, no, no, no
Love would be nothing
When life mercilessly
Falls upon us
We are nothing but a poor devil
Crushed and disappointed
So without the tenderness
Of a heart that supports us
No, no, no, no
We would not go any further
A child kisses you
Because we make them happy
All our sorrows fade away
We have tears in our eyes
My God, my God, my God
In your immense wisdom
Immense fervor
Make it rain endlessly
In the depths of our hearts
Torrents of tenderness
So that love may reign
Reign love
Until the end of days
