Ô Toi La Vie Lyrics in English Charles Aznavour
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ô Toi La Vie by Charles Aznavour from French to English.
Ô toi! la vie
Oh you, life
Que je porte en souffrant
That I carry in pain
Comme on porte un enfant
The way one carries a child
Donne-moi l'amour et l'argent
Give me love and money
Ma vie
My life
Aux voies impénétrables
With impenetrable ways
Fais que de grain de sable
Make it so that from a grain of sand
Je deviens géant
I grow into a giant
Ô toi! la vie
Oh you, life
Dont je ne connais rien
That I know nothing about
Qui fuit entre mes mains
That slips through my hands
J'appréhende tes lendemains
I dread your tomorrows
Ma vie
My life
J'ai peur de ta jeunesse
I'm afraid of your youth
Un matin disparaisse
One morning could disappear
Me laissant sur ma faim
Leaving me hungry
Tu sais la vie
You know, life
Je ne t'ai pas cherchée
I didn't look for you
C'est toi qui t'es donnée
You're the one who gave yourself
Comme une fille en mal d'aimer
Like a girl aching to love
Je peux depuis
Since then I can
Me vautrer dans tes bras
Wallow in your arms
Faire un feu de tes joies
Make a fire from your joys
Et l'amour avec toi
And make love with you
La vie
Life
Pour te serrer très fort
To hold you very tight
Et réchauffer mon corps
And warm up my body
Et te garder longtemps encore
And keep you for a long time still
Je suis
I am
Un enfant de la terre
A child of the earth
Un passant solitaire
A solitary passerby
Aux mains tendues vers toi
With hands stretched toward you
Ne m'abandonne pas
Don't leave me
Tu sais, je crois en toi
You know, I believe in you
En toi
In you
La vie
Life
