We can live without wealth
Almost without a penny
Lords and princesses
There aren't many left
But living without tenderness
We couldn't do it
No, no, no, no
We couldn't do it

We can live without glory
Which proves nothing
Being unknown in history
And be fine with it
But living without tenderness
It's out of the question
No, no, no, no
It's out of the question

What a sweet weakness
What a lovely feeling
This need for tenderness
That comes to us at birth
Really, really, really

Work is necessary
But if we have to stay
Weeks without doing anything
Well, we get used to it
But living without tenderness
Time seems long
Long, long, long, long
Time seems long

In the fire of youth
Pleasures are born
And love performs wonders
To dazzle us
Yes, but without tenderness
Love would be nothing
No, no, no, no
Love would be nothing

When merciless life
Falls upon you
We are nothing but a poor devil
Crushed and disappointed
Then, without the tenderness
Of a heart that supports us
No, no, no, no
We wouldn't go any further

A child kisses you
Because you make him happy
All our sorrows fade away
We have tears in our eyes
My God, my God, my God
In your immense wisdom
Immense fervor
Make it rain incessantly
In the depths of our hearts
Torrents of tenderness
So that love may reign
Reign love
Until the end of days
