Translation of the song lyrics Je t'aime trop (I Gotta Know) - Eddy Mitchell, Les Chaussettes Noires

Je t'aime trop (I Gotta Know) (original)

Douce, si douce est la vie
Douce, plus douce est ma mie
Savais-tu?
savais-tu?
Savais-tu que la nuit?
Des petites étoiles
Dansent auprès des nids?
Savais-tu?
savais-tu?
Que de leurs étincelles
Elles réchauffent un peu
Les oiseaux endormis?
Douce, si douce est la vie
Douce, plus douce est ma mie
Savais-tu?
savais-tu?
Savais-tu que la nuit?
Le vieux hibou s’ennuie
De n’avoir pas d’ami
Savais-tu?
savais-tu?
Savais-tu que son cri
Fait pleurer la forêt
Comme les tout petits?
Douce, si douce est la vie
Douce, plus douce est ma mie
Et je sais, et je sais
Et je sais que la nuit
T’aurais peur si mes bras
Ne te servaient d’abri
Et je sais, et je sais
Que j’aurais peur aussi
Si tu ne voulais pas
Etre toujours ma mie
Douce, si douce est la vie
Douce, plus douce est ma mie
La, la, la, la, la, …

(translation)

Sweet, so sweet is life
Sweet, sweeter is my dear
Did you know?
did you know
Did you know that at night?
little stars
Dance near the nests?
Did you know?
did you know
What of their sparks
They warm up a bit
Sleeping birds?
Sweet, so sweet is life
Sweet, sweeter is my dear
Did you know?
did you know
Did you know that at night?
The bored old owl
To have no friend
Did you know?
did you know
Did you know that his cry
Make the forest cry
Like toddlers?
Sweet, so sweet is life
Sweet, sweeter is my dear
And I know, and I know
And I know the night
You'd be scared if my arms
Didn't give you shelter
And I know, and I know
That I would be afraid too
If you didn't want
Always be my dear
Sweet, so sweet is life
Sweet, sweeter is my dear
La, la, la, la, la, …
