lyrics

Ma Solitude Georges Moustaki

(A) (F#m) (A) (F#m)
(A) Pour avoir si souvent dor(D)mi
(E7) Avec ma soli(A)tude,
Je m'en suis fait presqu'une a(D)mie,
(E7) Une douce habi(A)tude.
(D) Elle ne me quitte pas d'un (Bm)pas,
Fidèle comme une (C#m)ombre,
(F#m) Elle m'a (D)suivi ça et (A)là
(E7) Aux quatre coins du (A)monde.

(D) Non, je ne suis jamais (A)seul
A(Bm)vec (E7) ma soli(A)tude.

Quand elle est au creux de mon (D)lit,
(E7) Elle prend toute la (A)place,
Et nous passons de longues (D)nuits
(E7) Tous les deux, face à (A)face.
(D) Je ne sais vraiment pas jusqu'(Bm)où
Ira cette com(C#m)plice,
(F#m) Faudra-t-il (D)que j'y prenne (A)goût
(E7) Ou que je réa(A)gisse.

(D) Non, je ne suis jamais (A)seul
A(Bm)vec (E7) ma soli(A)tude.

Par elle j'ai autant ap(D)pris
(E7) Que j'ai versé de (A)larmes,
Si parfois je la répu(D)die
(E7) Jamais elle ne dés(A)arme.
(D) Et si je préfère l'a(Bm)mour
D'une autre courti(C#m)sane,
(F#m) Elle sera (D)a mon dernier (A)jour,
(E7) Ma dernière com(A)pagne.

(D) Non, je ne suis jamais (A)seul
A(Bm)vec (E7) ma soli(A)tude.
(D) Non, je ne suis jamais (A)seul
A(Bm)vec (E7) ma soli(A)tude.

A good starting point, but I have changed quite a few words for more accuracy
and added some rhymes.


My Loneliness

And when I slept, so very often
My loneliness was there,
She has become my closest friend,
A habit, sweet and fair.
She is never far away,
Like my shadow, always close,
She follows me where´er I go,
And all the earth she knows.

No, I never am alone
With my loneliness.

When in the shadow of my bed,
She takes up all the space,
The long and lonely nights we spent
Together, face to face,
I cannot say just how far
She will go with me.
Will I have to decide
To accept her, or set her free?

No, I never am alone
With my loneliness.

And when my feeble life is o'er,
Then and there she shall be free,
But until then she will remain
A very special part of me.
And should I prefer the love
Of another courtiere,
Still, we will never be apart,
When I die, she will be there.

No, I never am alone
With my loneliness.
No, I never am alone
With my loneliness.

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
