Lyrics of Toi que je n'ai pas vu grandir - Frank Michael

Toi que je n'ai pas vu grandir (original)

Quand tu?
tais petite Fill'…Mon Enfant, Mon Amour… Je me souviens…
Tu n' voulais plus quitter mes bras quand j'?tais de retour
Faut dir' qu’il m’arrivait de m’absenter plusieurs semaines
Mon travail m'?loignait de la maison… Je dirai m?
me…
Je dirai m?
me… Que ma vie n?
gligeait un peu la tienne
Quand je t?
l?phonais chez Nous ta maman me disait:
«Ta Fill' parle de Toi…?
son Nounours…?
sa poup?
e… «Moi, j’avais juste 20 ans et je ne r?
alisais pas…
Vraiment, que je pouvais te manquer?
ce point l?
Depuis ce temps l?
je me suis promis
D'?tre ton P?
re… et ton Ami
Toi que je n’ai pas vu grandir
En mon absence
Toi qui as du tell' ment souffrir
De mes silences…
Pardonn' moi
D?
s que je m’en allais tu me disais: «Tu reviens quand?
«J'avais le c?
ur serr?
oui mais je m’en allais pourtant
Pour tes anniversaires… au temps de ta petite enfance
Tu refusais d' souffler sur tes bougies en mon absence
Et bien sur je m’en veux… je m’en veux tu sais… lorsque j’y pense
Quand je rentrais tr?
s tard… J’allais te voir dormir toujours
Je venais t’embrasser mon petit Ange, O mon Amour
C’est vrai que j’ai pas su?
tre pr?
sent quand il fallait
Mais, m?
m' quand j'?tais loin, mon c?
ur ne t’a jamais quitt?
Depuis on peut nous voir souvent ensemble
Des gens me disent: «C'est votre fille … Ell' vous ressemble "
Toi que je n’ai pas vu grandir
En mon absence
Toi qui as du tell' ment souffrir
De mes silences…
Pardonn' moi

(translation)

When you?
you little Girl… My Child, My Love… I remember…
You didn't want to leave my arms when I was back
I have to say that I was sometimes absent for several weeks
My work took me away from home… I will say m?
me…
I will say m?
me… That my life n?
slipped yours a little
When I t?
I was talking to us, your mom told me:
"Your Daughter talks about You...?"
his Teddy…?
her doll?
e… "Me, I was just 20 years old and I don't r?
didn't read...
Really, that you could miss me?
this point
Since that time
I promised myself
To be your P?
re… and your Friend
You whom I didn't see growing up
In my absence
You who must have suffered so much
Of my silences...
Forgive me
D?
s I was leaving you said to me, "When are you coming back?
“I had the c?
ur tight?
yes but I was going anyway
For your birthdays... at the time of your early childhood
You refused to blow out your candles in my absence
And of course I blame myself... I blame myself you know... when I think about it
When I came home tr?
s late... I was going to see you still sleeping
I came to kiss you my little Angel, O my Love
Is it true that I didn't know?
very close
feel when it was needed
But?
me when I was away, my c?
ur never left you?
Since then we can often be seen together
People tell me, "She's your daughter...She looks like you"
You whom I didn't see growing up
In my absence
You who must have suffered so much
Of my silences...
Forgive me
