La Tendresse Lyrics in English Kids United Nouvelle Génération

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Tendresse by Kids United Nouvelle Génération from French to English.
We can live without wealth
Almost penniless
Lords and princesses
There aren't many left
But living without tenderness
We couldn't do it
No no no no
We couldn't do it
We can live without glory
Which proves nothing
To be unknown in history
And be fine with it
But living without tenderness
It's out of the question
No no no no
It's out of the question
What a sweet weakness
What a lovely feeling
This need for tenderness
That comes to us at birth
Really, really, really
Work is necessary
But if we have to stay
Weeks doing nothing
Well, we get used to it
But living without tenderness
Time feels long
Long, long, long, long
Time feels long
In the heat of youth
Pleasures are born
And love works wonders
To dazzle us
Yes but without tenderness
Love would be nothing
No no no no
Love would be nothing
When ruthless life
Falls on you
We're just poor devils
Crushed and disappointed
So without tenderness
From a heart that supports us
No no no no
We wouldn't go any further
A child kisses you
Because you make him happy
All our sorrows fade
We've got tears in our eyes
My God, my God, my God
In your immense wisdom
Immense fervor
So let it rain nonstop
Deep in our hearts
Torrents of tenderness
So love may reign
May love reign
Till the end of days

SONG MEANING

Kids United Nouvelle Génération invite us into a world where tendresse — tender affection — is the real treasure map. Their song reminds us that we can live without piles of money, shiny titles, or our name in history books, yet life instantly feels empty when kindness and gentle care go missing. From the spark of first love to the days when hardships hit, the lyrics insist that tenderness is the secret ingredient that keeps joy bubbling and hearts resilient.

Think of the track as a musical hug. It lists everything people often chase — wealth, glory, nonstop productivity — then flips the script by showing how a simple embrace, a child’s kiss, or a supportive friend can sweep away sadness faster than any fortune. Ultimately, the chorus is a playful prayer: may torrents of tenderness pour into every heart so love can reign forever. Listen, sing along, and feel how each note nudges you to sprinkle a little more warmth into the world today.
