Je ne donnerais pas ma place [English translation]
Je ne donnerais pas ma place [English translation]
Henry Garat:
I wouldn't swap my place
for anything1.
I wouldn't swap my place
it's too good and I've got it rich.
All my troubles fade away,
hope is in my heart,
I want to shout my happiness
to every passer-by.
The very biggest fortune
wouldn't bring me more pleasure.
I'd turn down the moon
if someone came and offered me it.
I wouldn't swap my place
for my neighbour's,
I wouldn't swap my place
and the King's not my cousin.
Danielle Darrieux:
Should Rockerfeller or Pierpont Morgan
mention me in their wills
it would truly not make me happier.
I don't think anywhere under the sun
there exists happiness like mine.
Oh, how marvelous lif appears to me!
I wouldn't swap my place
for anything1.
I wouldn't swap my place
it's too good and I've got it rich.
All my troubles fade away,
hope is in my heart,
I want to shout my happiness
to every passer-by.
I wouldn't swap my place
for my neighbour's,
I wouldn't swap my place
and the King's not my cousin.
