Duet with france gall
Written by michel berger and bernie taupin
Released as a french b-side in february, 1981
We're no handy silver lining
We're no crime to make the headline news
If it's a matter for decision
You and i can be the ones to choose
Je te donne mes espoirs caches
Je te donne me incertitudes
Je te donne mes plus grands secrets
La vie c'est deja si compli
I give you my hidden hopes
I give you my uncertainties
I give you my deepest secrets
Live is already so complicated
Donner pour donner, tout donner
C'est la seule fa
Donner pour donner
C'est la seule fa
C'est la seule fa
Giving for the sake of giving, giving it all
It is the only way to love
Giving for the sake of giving
It is the only way to live
It is the only way to love
Pas la peine de vivre enferme
C'est pas la peine
Pas la peine de rester couche
Non c'est pas la peine
Je te donne sans rien demander
La vie, c'est deja si compli
It is not worth being locked up
It is not worth staying in bed
I give you without asking anything
Life is already so complicated
Je te donne mes sourires moqueurs
Je te donne ma force, ma douceur
Je te donne mes secrets fragiles
La vie, c'est deja si difficile
I give you my mocking smiles
I give you my strength, my sweetness
I give you my precious secrets
Life is hard enough
