Ne lui dis pas - Dalida

Ne lui dis pas

Quand tu le verras

Que j’ai tant pleuré

Quand il m’a quitté

Ne lui dis pas

Quand il lui parle de moi

Que je lisais chaque jour

Ses quelques mots d’amour

Qu’il m’envoyait toujours

Qu'à chaque anniversaire

Sous la neige en hiver

J’ai couru mille fois

Croyant qu’il était là

Dis lui seulement

Que de temps en temps

Quand j’avais peur la nuit

Je te parlais de lui

Ne lui dis pas

Quand il te demandera

Que malgré les années

Je n’ai rien oublié

Ni de savoir

Juste au bruit de ses pas

Le sucre qu’il mettait

Dans son café au lait

Ses yeux quand il riait

Que je l’aime encore

Même s’il a eu tort

Que je lui pardonnerais

S’il me revenait

Dis lui seulement

Que de temps en temps

Quand il pleurait la nuit

Je te parlais de lui

Mon père, mon petit

A refait sa vie

Alors crois-moi

Surtout ne lui dis rien

Ça lui ferait trop de chagrin

Dis lui seulement

Que de temps en temps

Quand j’avais peur la nuit

Je te parlais de lui

Ne lui dis pas

Oh non ne lui dis pas

Ne lui dis pas

Ne lui dis

Do not tell him

when you see it

That I cried so much

When he left me

Do not tell him

When he talks to her about me

That I read every day

His few words of love

That he always sent me

That on every birthday

Under the snow in winter

I ran a thousand times

Believing he was there

just tell him

What once in a while

When I was scared at night

I was telling you about him

Do not tell him

When he asks you

That despite the years

I've not forgotten anything

Nor to know

Just at the sound of his footsteps

The sugar he put

In his latte

His eyes when he laughed

That I still love him

Even if he was wrong

That I would forgive her

If it came back to me

just tell him

What once in a while

When he cried at night

I was telling you about him

My father, my child

Has rebuilt his life

So trust me

Please don't tell her anything

It would cause him too much grief

just tell him

What once in a while

When I was scared at night

I was telling you about him

Do not tell him

Oh no don't tell her

Do not tell him

Don't tell her
