We can live without riches, almost without lessons Lords and princesses, there are not many left But living without tenderness, we couldn't No, no, no, no, we couldn't We can live without glory, which proves nothing To be unknown in history and to feel good But living without tenderness, there is no question No, no, no, no, there is no question What a sweet wound, what a beautiful feeling This need for tenderness, which comes to us when we are born Really, really, really Work is necessary, but if we have to stay Weeks without doing anything, well, let's do it But living without tenderness, time seems long to us Long, long, long, long, time seems long to us In the fire of youth, only pleasure is born And love makes promises to dazzle us But without tenderness, love would be nothing No, no, no, no, love would be nothing When pitiful life falls on you We are nothing but a poor devil, believed and disappointed So without tenderness, the heart that supports us No, no, no, no, we won't go any further A child kisses you because we make him happy All our sorrows fade away, we have tears in our eyes My God, my God, my God In your immense wisdom, immense fervor So let it rain constantly in the depths of our hearts Torrents of tenderness, so that love reigns Love reigns until the end of days
