Let My Name Be Sorrow (Quand Je Te Regarde Vivre)
Francoise Hardy · If You Listen [1972]
(Georges Châtelain/Bernard Estardy/Gilles Marchal)
adaptation anglaise Martine Habib
When I watch you sadly calling, when all you can say is "no"
Let my name be sorrow, let my name be sorrow.
When I long to see you smiling, when your fear just won't let go
Let my name be sorrow, let my name be sorrow.
Once we had laughs as big as lives, we had lies as sweet as you
Till one morning for us two, all was over.
When the dawn is softly showing, darkness lingers on your brow
Let my name be sorrow, let my name be sorrow.
When the roses sweetly growing, lose their petals one by one
Let my name be sorrow, let my name be sorrow.
Once we had laughs as big as lives, we had lies as sweet as you
Till one morning for us two, all was over.
You don't have to say "I love you" when your heart is far behind
Just let my name be sorrow, let my name be sorrow.
