Original Title: "Je t'appartiens"
Text: Pierre Delanoë
Music: Gilbert Bécaud
Year: 1955, 1956 (Les compagnons de la Chanson's version)
The song was a hit and adapted to english to become the famous song "Let it be me"
Like clay
the fragile insect
the docile slave
I belong to you
Of my whole being
You are the only master
I have to submit
I belong to you
If you condemn
Throwing my soul
At the heart of the flames
I can't do anything about it
If you condemn
If you curse me
Here is my soul
Here are my hands
With the sorrows
Love and hate
Flowing in my veins
I belong to you
What can I do
To satisfy you
Lord of the earth
On my path
Like the angels
To sing the praises
But I am not angel
You know it well
I am nothing but a man
Nothing but a poor man
Who likes you
Like a buddy
Often I think
That in your immense
Palace of silence
You must be well
Sometimes I think
That in your immense
Palace of silence
We must be well
Gilbert Bécaud's version:
