C'est toi le plus fort [English translation]

Ah, how big you are!

You have a beautiful face

And when your smile has hooked my heart,

Because I came to you alone

Without you finding me,

You do the show-off

And, on the boulevard,

When you take a walk,

You walk like a beautiful animal.

You look at the women.

This makes me mad (jealous)

And you know well

That this hurts me

But I tell you nothing

Because I love you.

Suffering for you

Is good anyway.

You could hurt me

More again

That I would say nothing,

So you're strong.

Because you're big,

[And] I [am] very small

And that your firsts

Seem like they are heavy,

I always say yes

And you take advantage of it

And I obey you.

You always win.

Ah... you're not cruel.

You're a bit brutal

But it's not your fault

If you're like this,

And then I

I don't like quarrels.

I am afraid of fighting.

We don't change,

So I say nothing

Because I love you

And because obeying you

Is good anyway.

Then it deserves better

Because I would be wrong.

There is nothing more than seeing each other,

It's you who are the strongest.

But there are days

When you are more the same.

When you have the blues

Or when you're bored,

When you need to feel

To be loved

And those days,

You become very small.

And then I take you with you

To my chest.

I hear your heart

And it's very sweet.

I become very big

And I cuddle with you.

I am nearly happy

And I forget everything.

There, in my arms,

You dare say nothing more.

You have, on your lips

A beautiful smile

And, like a little kid,

You fall asleep.

Well, truly,

It's you who are the strongest.
