Je ne donnerais pas ma place [English translation]

Henry Garat:

I wouldn't swap my place

for anything1.

I wouldn't swap my place

it's too good and I've got it rich.

All my troubles fade away,

hope is in my heart,

I want to shout my happiness

to every passer-by.

The very biggest fortune

wouldn't bring me more pleasure.

I'd turn down the moon

if someone came and offered me it.

I wouldn't swap my place

for my neighbour's,

I wouldn't swap my place

and the King's not my cousin.

Danielle Darrieux:

Should Rockerfeller or Pierpont Morgan

mention me in their wills

it would truly not make me happier.

I don't think anywhere under the sun

there exists happiness like mine.

Oh, how marvelous lif appears to me!

I wouldn't swap my place

for anything1.

I wouldn't swap my place

it's too good and I've got it rich.

All my troubles fade away,

hope is in my heart,

I want to shout my happiness

to every passer-by.

I wouldn't swap my place

for my neighbour's,

I wouldn't swap my place

and the King's not my cousin.
