Ay! Mourir Pour Toi Lyrics in English by Dalida

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ay! Mourir Pour Toi by Dalida from Italian to English.
Ay! Mourir pour toi
Ay! To die for you
À l'instant où ta main me frôle
The moment your hand brushes me
Laisser ma vie sur ton épaule
To leave my life on your shoulder
Bercée par le son de ta voix
Rocked by the sound of your voice
Ay! Mourir d'amour
Ay! To die of love
T'offrir ma dernière seconde
To offer you my last second
Et sans regret quitter le monde
And without regret leave the world
En emportant mon plus beau jour
Taking my most beautiful day with me
Pour garder notre bonheur comme il est là
To keep our happiness as it is now
Ne pas connaître la douleur par toi
Not to know pain because of you
Et la terrible certitude
And the terrible certainty
De la solitude
Of loneliness
Ay! Mourir pour toi
Ay! To die for you
Prendre le meilleur de nous-mêmes
To take the best of ourselves
Dans le souffle de ton 'je t'aime'
In the breath of your "I love you"
Et m'endormir avec mes joies
And fall asleep with my joys
Parle-moi, console-moi
Speak to me, comfort me
J'ai peur du jour qui va naître
I'm afraid of the day that will be born
Il sera le dernier peut-être
It will be the last perhaps
Que notre bonheur va connaître
That our happiness will know
Serre-moi, apaise-moi
Hold me tight, soothe me
Quand j'ai l'angoisse du pire
When I have the dread of the worst
Ne ris pas quand tu m'entends dire
Don't laugh when you hear me say
Qu'au fond, mourir pour mourir
That deep down, to die for dying
Ay! Mourir pour toi
Ay! To die for you
À l'instant où ta main me frôle
The moment your hand brushes me
Laisser ma vie sur ton épaule
To leave my life on your shoulder
Bercée par le son de ta voix
Rocked by the sound of your voice
Ay! Mourir d'amour
Ay! To die of love
T'offrir ma dernière seconde
To offer you my last second
Et sans regrets quitter le monde
And without regrets leave the world
En emportant mon plus beau jour
Taking my most beautiful day with me
Pour garder notre bonheur comme il est là
To keep our happiness as it is now
Ne pas connaître la douleur par toi
Not to know pain because of you
Et la terrible certitude
And the terrible certainty
De la solitude
Of loneliness
Ay! Mourir pour toi
Ay! To die for you
Prendre le meilleur de nous-même
To take the best of ourselves
Dans le souffle de ton 'je t'aime'
In the breath of your "I love you"
Et m'endormir avec mes joies
And fall asleep with my joys
Mourir pour toi
To die for you

bercée — rocked / cradled

Bercée means "rocked" or "cradled." It evokes a sense of comfort, tenderness, and gentle movement, often associated with a lullaby or a baby being rocked to sleep.

In the context of Dalida's song, the singer expresses a desire to "laisser ma vie sur ton épaule / Bercée par le son de ta voix" (leave my life on your shoulder / Rocked by the sound of your voice). This beautiful imagery suggests finding ultimate peace and surrender in the beloved's presence, making it a uniquely poignant and memorable word in the lyrics.
