Je Te Donne Lyrics in English Jean-Jacques Goldman , Michael Jones

Home / Lyrics Translation / Jean-Jacques Goldman / Je Te Donne

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Je Te Donne by Jean-Jacques Goldman from French to English.

I can give you a voice bred with rhythms and soul

The heart of a Welsh boy who's lost his home

Put it in harmony, let the words ring

Carry your thoughts in the song we sing

I give you my notes, I give you my words

When your voice carries them at your own tempo

A shoulder fragile and solid at the same time

What I imagine and what I believe

I give you all my differences

All those flaws that are as many chances

We'll never be standard

Decent folks like we're supposed to be

I give you what I have, what I'm worth

I can give you the force of my ancestral pride

The well to go on when I'm hurt deep inside

Whatever the feeling, whatever the way

It helps me to go on from day to day

I give you our doubts and our inexpressible hope

The questions that the roads

Have left in history

Our girls are dark-haired and we speak a bit loud

And humor and love are our treasures

I give you all my differences

All those flaws that are as many chances

We'll never be standard

Decent folks like we're supposed to be

I give you what I have, what I'm worth

I give, give, give you what I am

I can give you my voice

Bred with rhythm and soul

I give you my notes, I give you my voice

The songs that I love, and the stories I've told

What I imagine and what I believe

I can make you feel good even when I'm down

The reasons that carry me and this foolish hope

My force is a platform that you can climb on

A shoulder fragile and strong at the same time

Outro

I give you

Outro

All I'm worth, what I am

My gifts, my flaws

Outro

My finest chances, my differences

I give you

Outro

All I'm worth, what I am

My gifts, my flaws

Outro

My finest chances, my differences

I give you

Outro

All I'm worth, what I am

My gifts, my flaws

Outro

My finest chances, my differences

I give you

Outro

All I'm worth, what I am

My gifts, my flaws

SONG MEANING

Je Te Donne bursts with feel-good energy and cross-cultural flair. French superstar Jean-Jacques Goldman partners with Welsh-born Michael Jones to create a bilingual pop-rock anthem where each artist hands the mic to the other, swapping French and English lines like musical presents. The groove is catchy, the guitars shine, and every lyric feels like an invitation to a joyful exchange of rhythm, roots, and soul.

At its heart, the song is a radiant promise: I give you everything that makes me, me—voice, heritage, doubts, humor, even the flaws that turn into hidden strengths. By laying their differences on the table and calling them treasures, the singers celebrate authenticity and unity. Their message is simple yet powerful: when we share our talents and our imperfections alike, we build a harmony larger than any single note and prove that diversity is the melody of true connection.
