Mes Mains Lyrics in English Gilbert Bécaud
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mes Mains by Gilbert Bécaud from French to English.
Mes mains
My hands
Dessinent dans le soir
Sketch in the evening
La forme d'un espoir
The shape of a hope
Qui ressemble à ton corps
That looks like your body
Mes mains
My hands
Quand elles tremblent de fièvre
When they tremble with fever
C'est de nos amours brèves
It's from our brief loves
Qu'elles se souviennent encore
That they still remember
Mes mains
My hands
Caressent dans leurs doigts
They caress with their fingers
Des riens venant de toi
Small nothings from you
Cherchant un peu de joie
Looking for a bit of joy
Mes mains
My hands
Se tendent en prière
Reach out in prayer
Vers ton ombre légère
Toward your gentle shadow
Disparue dans la nuit
Gone in the night
Mes mains
My hands
Elles t'aiment à la folie
They love you madly
D'un amour infini
With an endless love
Elles t'aiment pour la vie
They love you for life
As-tu déjà effacé ce passé qui m'obsède?
Have you already erased that past that haunts me?
As-tu déjà oublié que ces mains ont tout donné?
Have you already forgotten that these hands gave everything?
Mes mains
My hands
Qui voudraient caresser
That would like to caress
Un jour seront lassées
One day will grow tired
D'attendre ton retour
Of waiting for your return
Mes mains
My hands
Elles iront te chercher
They'll go look for you
Là où tu t'es cachée
Where you hid yourself
Avec un autre amour
With another love
Mes mains
My hands
Méprisant les prières
Scorning the prayers
Trembleront de colère
They'll shake with anger
Et je n'y pourrai rien
And I won't be able to do anything about it
Mes mains
My hands
Pour toujours dans la nuit
Forever in the night
Emporteront ta vie
They'll take your life away
Mais puisque tu le sais
But since you know it
Reviens
Come back
Et tout comme autrefois
And just like before
Elles frémiront pour toi
They'll quiver for you
Dans la joie retrouvée
In joy found again
Reviens
Come back
Ne les repousse pas
Don't push them away
Ces mains tendues vers toi
These hands stretched out to you
Et donne-leur tes mains
And give them your hands
