Jean-Jacques Goldman "Je te donne" lyrics

Je te donne

I can give you a voice, bred with rythm and soulThe heart of a Welsh boy who's lost his homePut it in harmony, let the words ringCarry your thoughts in the songs we singJe te donne mes notes, je te donne mes motsQuand ta voix les emporte a ton propre tempoUne épaule fragile et solide à la foisCe que j'imagine et ce que je crois

Je te donne toutes mes différences,Tous ces défauts qui sont autant de chancesOn n'sera jamais des standards, des gens bien comme il fautJe te donne ce que j'ai, ce que je vaux

I can give you the force of my ancestral prideThe will to go on when Ii'm hurt deep insideWhatever the feeling, whatever the wayIt helps me go on from day to dayJe te donne nos doutes et notre indicible espoirLes questions que les routes ont laissées dans l'histoireNos filles sont brunes et l'on parle un peu fortEt l'humour et l'amour sont nos trésors

Refrain

Je te donne, donne, donne ce que je suis

I can give you my voice bred with rythm and soul,Je te donne mes notes, je te donne ma voixThe songs that i love, and the stories I've toldCe que j'imagine et ce que je croisI can make you feel good even when I'm downLes raisons qui me portent et ce stupide espoirMy force is a platform that you can climb onUne épaule fragile et forte à la foisJe te donne, je te donneTout ce que je vaux, ce que je suis, mes dons, mes défauts,Mes plus belles chances, mes différences

I give to you

I can give a voice, bred with rythms and soulthe heart of a Welsh boy who's lost his homeput it in harmony , let the words ringcarry your thoughts in the songs we singI give you my notes, I give you my words.When your voice take them to your own tempoA fragile and strong shoulder tooWhat I can imagine and what I see

I give you all my differencesAll this defects wich are chances too.We'll nerve be standarts, people as we are supposed to do (people good as it seems to be?)i give you all I have, what I worth

I can give you the force of my ancestral pridethe well to go on when i'm hurt deep insidewhatever the feeling, whatever the wayit helps me to go on from day to dayI give you our doubts ans our unspeakable hope.History questions leftedOur girls are brown and we are talking a bit loudAnd humour and love are tresures

refrainI give you, give, what I am

I can give you my voice, bred with rythm and soul,I give you my notes, I give you my voicethe songs that i love, and the stories i've toldWhat I imagine and what I seei can make you feel good even when i'm down.reasons that leads me, and this stupid hopemy force is a platform that you can climb on.A fragile and strong too shoulderje te donne, je te donne tout ce que je vaux , ce que je suis, mes donsI give you what I worth, what I am, my gifts, my defects, my most beautiful chances, my differences
