“Smile”
(Sung by Nat King Cole, YouTube)
♫ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx3a1B5WJ3c&feature=em-share_video_user
Smile though your heart is aching
- bien que votre coeur souffre / a mal
Smile even though it's breaking
- même s’il (votre coeur) se brise
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
- vous allez vous débrouiller / vous en sortir
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
- à travers / face à vos craintes et tristesse
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
- arriver en brillant
Light up your face with gladness
- illuminez votre visage de contentement
Hide every trace of sadness
- cachez
Although a tear may be ever so near
- bien qu’une larme puisse être si près
That's the time you must keep on trying
- C’est le moment où vous devez continuer
d’essayer
Smile, what's the use of crying?
- À quoi bon pleurer
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
- la vie vaut toujours la peine de vivre
If you just smile
(instrumental interlude)
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile …
