Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Mal Aimé by Claude François from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
J'ai besoin qu'on m'aime
I need to love me
Mais personne ne comprend
But no one understands
Ce que j'espère et que j'attends
What I hope and that I expect
Qui pourrait me dire qui je suis
Who could tell me who I am
Et j'ai bien peur
And I'm afraid
Toute ma vie d'etre incompris
All my life to be misunderstood
Car aujourd'hui je me sens mal aimé
Because today I feel unloved
Je suis le mal aimé
I am the unloved
Les gens me connaissent
People know me
Tel que je veux me montrer
As I want to show myself
Mais ont-ils cherché à savoir
But they sought to know
D'où me viennent mes joies
Where my joys come from
Et pourquoi ce désespoir
And why this despair
Caché au fond de moi
Hidden
Si les apparences
If appearances
Sont quelquefois contre moi
Are sometimes against me
Je ne suis pas ce que l'on croit
I am not what we believe
Contre l'aventure de chaque jour
Against the adventure of every day
J'échangerais demain la joie d'un seul amour
I would exchange the joy of a single love tomorrow
Mais je suis là comme avant mal aimé
But I am there as before unloved
Car je suis mal aimé
Because I am unloved
