Original Title: "Ma solitude"
Text: Georges Moustaki
Year: 1967
For having slept so often
With my loneliness
I almost made a friend out of her,
A sweet habit
She never leaves me for a second
Faithful like a shadow
She followed me here and there
To the four corners of the earth
Oh no, no, no, I'm never alone
With my loneliness
When she is at the hollow of my bed
She takes all the space
And we spend long nights
Both facing each other
I do not know up to where
this accomplice will go
Will I have to grow a taste for it
Or will I have to react
Oh no, no, no, I'm never alone
With my loneliness
Through her I have learned as much
Than I have shed tears
If sometimes I repudiate her
Never does she disarm
And if I prefer the love
Of another cortesan
She'd be at my last day
My last companion
Oh no, no, no, I'm never alone
With my loneliness.
No, no, no, no I'll never be alone
With my loneliness.
Moustaki's version:
