You're Nearer (From the Broadway Musical, "Too Many Girls") French translation

Tu es plus proche que ma tête ne l'est de mon oreiller
You′re nearer, than my head is to my pillow
Plus près que le vent ne l'est du saule
Nearer, than the wind is to the willow
Plus cher que la pluie ne l'est pour la terre en bas
Dearer, than the rain is to the earth below
Précieux comme le soleil, pour les choses qui poussent
Precious as the sun, to the things that grow

Tu es plus proche que le lierre du mur ne l'est
You're nearer, than the ivy to the wall is
Plus près que l'hiver de l'automne
Nearer, than the winter to the fall is
Laisse-moi, mais quand tu seras absent, tu le sauras
Leave me, but when you′re away, you'll know
Tu es plus proche, car je t'aime tellement
You're nearer, for I love you so

Mais laisse-moi, et quand tu seras absent, tu sauras
But leave me, and when you′re away, you′ll know
Tu es plus proche, car je t'aime tellement
You're nearer, for I love you so
