Translation of the song lyrics Ne le déçois pas (Putty In Your Hands) - Sylvie Vartan

Ne le déçois pas (Putty In Your Hands) (original)

Tu le tiens entre tes mains
Tu es son premier amour
C’est pour lui, un nouveau jour
Ne le déçois pas
Ou quitte son chemin, hein, hein, hein
Car tu as gagné, il est entre tes mains hein, hein
Tu le tiens entre tes mains
Il croit tout ce que tu dis
Que c’est pour toute la vie
Ne le déçois pas
Ou quitte son chemin, hein, hein, hein
Car tu as gagné, il est entre tes mains hein, hein
Rien qu’en voyant ses yeux bleus changer
Quand il te voit, on comprend que tu es aimée
Toi, tu penses, tu penses que c’est pas sérieux
Mais ne soie pas certain que ce ne soit qu’un simple jeu
Tu le tiens entre tes mains
Tu t’en vantes à tes amis
Que tu l’as bien ébloui
Ne le déçois pas
Ou quitte son chemin, hein, hein, hein
Car tu as gagné, il est entre tes mains hein, hein
Un certain soir avec tes amis
Tu t’es moqué en voyant son air ahuri
Tu t’amusais et riais bien plus qu’il fallait
Mais déjà il partait quant t’as compris qu' tu l’aimais
Retiens-le entre tes mains
Car tu en auras besoin
Aujourd’hui et pour demain
Ne le déçois plus
Prend le même chemin hein, hein, hein
Et garde-le bien, garde-le entre tes mains, hein, hein (x2}

(translation)

You hold it in your hands
You are his first love
This is for him, a new day
Don't disappoint him
Or leave her way, huh, huh, huh
'Cause you won, it's in your hands eh, eh
You hold it in your hands
He believes everything you say
That it's for life
Don't disappoint him
Or leave her way, huh, huh, huh
'Cause you won, it's in your hands eh, eh
Just seeing her blue eyes change
When he sees you, we understand that you are loved
You, you think, you think it's not serious
But don't be sure it's just a game
You hold it in your hands
You brag about it to your friends
That you dazzled him
Don't disappoint him
Or leave her way, huh, huh, huh
'Cause you won, it's in your hands eh, eh
Some night with your friends
You laughed at his bewildered look
You had fun and laughed way more than you had to
But he was already leaving when you understood that you loved him
Hold it in your hands
'Cause you'll need it
Today and for tomorrow
Don't disappoint him again
Take the same path eh, eh, eh
And keep it tight, keep it in your hands, huh, huh (x2}
