Tu es toute ma vie
You are my whole life
Je ne sais pas pourquoi
I don't know why
Tu n'es pas très jolie
You're not very pretty
Mais je t'aime comme ça
But I love you like that
Tes joies sont enfantines
Your joys are childish
Tes gestes maladroits
Your clumsy gestures
T'as l'air d'une gamine
You seem like a little girl
Mais je t'aime comme ça
But I love you like that
Tu cries sans raison
You scream for no reason
Tu mens avec aplomb
You lie with confidence
Et me donnes des noms insensés
And you give me crazy names
Qui font rire mes amis
That make my friends laugh
Et lorsque je te dis
And when I tell you
Que tout cela un jour doit changer
That all of this must change one day
Tu te mets à pleurer
You start to cry
Moi pour te consoler
I, to comfort you
Dans mes bras je t'emporte
In my arms I carry you
Et blottie contre moi
And snuggled against me
C'est bien toi la plus forte
You're really the strongest
Mais je t'aime comme ça
But I love you just like that
Mes yeux sont pleins de larmes
My eyes are filled with tears
Comment expliquer ça
How can I explain this
Tout en toi me désarme
Everything about you disarms me
Mais je t'aime comme ça
But I love you just like that
Tu as des défauts
You have your flaws
Souvent tu parles trop
Often you talk too much
Et quand je suis par trop excédé
And when I'm too overwhelmed
Je m'écrie ça suffit
I cry out that's enough
Mais lorsque tu souris
But when you smile
Avec un regard désemparé
With a helpless gaze
Devant ton air perdu
In front of your lost gaze
Je me sens tout ému
I feel so moved
Tu es toute ma vie
You are my whole life
Je ne sais pas pourquoi
I don't know why
Tu n'es pas très jolie
You're not very pretty
Mais je t'aime comme ça
But I love you just like that
