Lyrics translation in English by Odile.

Old worn-out jeans aren't thrown away
A damaged book is repaired
A failed photo is looked at
And a dried flower is lamented over
For love or mercy's sake
Oh oh oh for love or mercy's sake

A broken tree isn't laughed at
A burnt land is watered
A fallen bird is picked up
A dog without a collar is welcomed
For love or mercy's sake
Oh oh oh for love or mercy's sake

A fallen boxer is helped back up
A condemned person is blindfolded
A killed enemy is buried
An injured horse is destroyed
For love or mercy's sake
Oh oh oh for love or mercy's sake

So, you, you who've loved me
You who know that I am hurt
That without you, without you, my life is a wreck
On my knees, I've come to pray you
Mercy, have mercy
Oh oh oh for love or mercy's sake
Oh oh oh for love ... or mercy's sake

********
Par amour, par pitié
(Paroles : G. Thibaut, J. Renard, 1966)

On ne jette pas un vieux jean usé
On recolle un livre abîmé
On regarde une photo ratée
Et on pleure sur une fleur séchée
Par amour ou par pitié
Oh oh oh par amour ou par pitié

On ne rit pas d'un arbre brisé
On arrose une terre brûlée
On ramasse un oiseau tombé
On recueille un chien sans collier
Par amour ou par pitié
Oh oh oh par amour ou par pitié

On relève un boxeur tombé
On bande les yeux d'un condamné
On enterre un ennemi tué
On achève un cheval blessé
Par amour ou par pitié
Oh oh oh par amour ou par pitié

Alors toi, toi qui m'as aimée
Toi qui sais que je suis blessée
Que sans toi, sans toi, ma vie est brisée
A genoux, je viens te prier

Pitié, aie pitié
Oh oh oh par amour ou par pitié
Oh oh oh par amour ... ou par pitié ...

  • edichka83

    Thank you so much for this! Out of curiosity, why would the chorus be translated as "mercy's sake" instead of "pity?" "Pity" seems so much stronger to me...
