Dalida - "Pour Ne Pas Vivre Seul" / "For to Not Live Alone"




Dalida "Pour Ne Pas Vivre Seul" Lyriques
(French - see English Lyrics translation below) :

Pour ne pas vivre seul
On vit avec un chien
On vie avec des roses
Ou avec une croix
Pour ne pas vivre seul
On s'fait du cinéma
On aime un souvenir
Une ombre, n'importe quoi

Pour ne pas vivre seul
On vit pour le printemps
Et quand le printemps meurt
Pour le prochain printemps
Pour ne pas vivre seul
Je t'aime et je t'attends
Pour avoir l'illusion
De ne pas vivre seul,
De ne pas vivre seul

Pour ne pas vivre seul
Des filles aiment des filles
Et l'on voit des garçons
Épouser des garçons
Pour ne pas vivre seul
D'autres font des enfants
Des enfants qui sont seuls
Comme tous les enfants

Pour ne pas vivre seul
On fait des cathédrales
Où tous ceux qui sont seuls
S'accrochent à une étoile
Pour ne pas vivre seul
Je t'aime et je t'attends
Pour avoir l'illusion
De ne pas vivre seul

Pour ne pas vivre seul
On se fait des amis
Et on les réunit
Quand vient les soirs d'ennui
On vit pour son argent,
Ses rêves, ses palaces
Mais on a jamais fait
Un cercueil à deux places

Pour ne pas vivre seul
Moi je vis avec toi
Je suis seule avec toi
Tu es seul avec moi
Pour ne pas vivre seul
On vit comme ceux qui veulent
Se donner l'illusion
De ne pas vivre seul

Dalida - English translation / Traduction anglais de "For Not to Live Alone"

For to not to live alone
One lives with a dog
One lives with roses
Or with a cross
For to not to live alone
One makes the cinema
One loves a memory
A shadow, anything

For to not to live alone
One lives for the Springtime
And when the Springtime dies
For the next Springtime
For to not to live alone
I love you and I wait for you
To have the illusion
Of to not to live alone,
Of to not to live alone

For to not to live alone
The girls love the girls
And one sees the boys
Marrying the boys
For to not to live alone
Some others make children
Of children who are alone
Like all the children

For to not to live alone
One makes cathedrals
Where all those which are alone
Hang on to a star
To not to live alone
I love you and I wait for you
To have the illusion
Of to not to live alone

For to not to live alone
One then makes some friends
And they come together
When comes the troubled nights
One lives for his money,
His dreams, his palaces
But what was never made
A coffin with two places

For to not to live alone
Me I live with you
I am alone with you
You are alone with me
To not to live alone
One saw what he wants
To give the illusion
Of to not to live alone

Wikipedia: "Dalida (17 January 1933 - 3 May 1987) was an Italian Egyptian singer and actress, naturalized French. Dalida was born and raised in Egypt, but she lived most of her adult life in France. She received 55 gold records and was the first singer to receive a diamond disc...

Dalida performed and recorded in more than 10 languages including: French, Italian, Arabic, German, Spanish, English, Dutch, Japanese, Hebrew, and Greek. She collected 19 number one hit singles to her name in four languages (French, Italian, German, and Arabic) and has a long list of top 10, and top 20 hits in French, Italian, German, Spanish and Arabic, and accumulated myriad top selling singles and albums largely, in France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Spain, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria, Greece, Canada (Quebec), Russia, Japan, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, and Egypt, spanning over forty years... (with) Worldwide sales... over 130 million...

Personal life - Despite enormous career success, Dalidas private life was marred by a series of failed relationships and personal problems. Her first husband, Lucien Morisse, committed suicide several years after her divorce. Two of her lovers, Luigi Tenco and Richard Chanfray also took their own lives.

Death and Legacy - On May 3, 1987 Dalida died as a result of an overdose of barbiturates, leaving a suicide note reading "Life has become unbearable ... Forgive me." Dalida was buried in the Cimetière de Montmartre, Paris, and a life-size statue of the singer stands outside her tomb.

Since her death, Dalida has become a cult figure to a new generation of fans. In 1988, The Encyclopedia Universalis commissioned a poll which was eventually published in daily newspaper Le Monde, the aim of which was to reveal personalities that had the greatest impact on French society. Dalida polled second, behind Général de Gaulle"
