Pour me comprendre
(From the album "D'un papillon à une étoile")

Unofficial adaptation (not a translation!) of "Pour me comprendre", a song written by Michel Berger

 

To understand me, you've gotta know who I am,
to really know me, and my way of life to understand,
and to hope you'll know that, you must become my friend.
To understand me, chance isn't left in the balance,
Come to surprise me, how to handle that romance,
to understand me, my love isn't down to chance.

I knew of my friend, when we were small,
and mother love that stood so tall,
it's too bad, and so sad
we never took that chance we had.

To understand me, you must know what my life's about
what came before me, how life began when the chords came out,
to the sound of breathing, as my brother was sleeping.
To understand me, to dream of life each and every night,
without fear of failing, the success never goes out of sight,
the time is coming, when want has no other meaning.

There is a hope perhaps somewhere,
a happiness that we should have shared,
it's too bad, and so sad
we can never find what we want so bad.

To understand me, you'll have to let love make the move,
What I can't tell you, music says life has nothing to prove,
time after time, there's something we don't know about.
To understand me, the love will be here to stay,
To really know me, the music and faith are the only way,
that's why my life is worth living to see you another day.
