Que Toi Lyrics in English by Stony
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Que Toi by Stony from French to English.
Quand dans tes bras
When in your arms
Tu m'as serrée
You held me tight
Mon cœur s'est arrêté de battre
My heart stopped beating
Tu ignorais
You didn't know
Dans quelle contrée
In what land
Tu t'en allais combattre
You were going to fight
J'ai supplié
I begged
'Laissez-le moi!'
"Leave him to me!"
Mais ils sont venus te chercher
But they came to get you
Je n'ai que toi au monde
I only have you in the world
Pour me parler d'amour
To talk to me about love
Que toi qui me répondes
Only you who answer me
Quand j'appelle au secours
When I call for help
Je n'ai que toi au monde
I only have you in the world
Que toi à qui confier
Only you to confide in
Mes blessures profondes
My deep wounds
Et mes rêves brisés
And my broken dreams
Je n'ai que toi au monde
I only have you in the world
Et si je te perdais
And if I lost you
Je crois que j'en mourrais
I think I'd die
Tu sais
You know
Tu t'en allais
You were going
Porter la paix
To bring peace
À un peuple en détresse
To a people in distress
Sans hésiter
Without hesitating
Tu étais prêt
You were ready
À donner ta jeunesse
To give your youth
Tu étais beau
You were handsome
Comme un héros
Like a hero
Sur ta dernière photo
In your last photo
Je n'ai que toi au monde
I only have you in the world
Pour me parler d'amour
To talk to me about love
Que toi qui me répondes
Only you who answer me
Quand j'appelle au secours
When I call for help
Je n'ai que toi au monde
I only have you in the world
Reviendras-tu vivant
Will you come back alive
De cette guerre immonde
From this awful war
Vivant mais comme avant?
Alive but like before?
Je n'ai que toi au monde
I only have you in the world
Et si je te perdais
And if I lost you
Je crois que j'en mourrais
I think I'd die
Tu sais
You know
Je n'ai que toi au monde
I only have you in the world
Mais qu'est-ce que t'as fait
But what did you do
De tes deux bras
With your two arms
Qui ne pourront plus me serrer?
That can no longer hold me tight?
Je n'ai que toi au monde
I only have you in the world
À qui parler d'amour
To whom to talk about love
Que toi qui me répondes
Only you who answer me
Quand j'appelle au secours
When I call for help
Je n'ai que toi au monde
I only have you in the world
Et si je te perdais
And if I lost you
Je crois que j'en mourrais
I think I'd die
Tu sais
You know
Je n'ai que toi au monde
I only have you in the world
Que toi au monde
Other than you in the world
Did you like this lyrics translation?
contrée — land / region
Contrée translates to "land" or "region," but it carries a more poetic and slightly archaic feel than common words like "pays" (country) or "région."
In the song, it's used in the line "Dans quelle contrée tu t'en allais combattre" (To what land you were going to fight), evoking a sense of an unknown, distant, and perhaps dangerous territory. This makes it an intriguing and evocative word that stands out.
