Lyrics of my boy by berthe sylva

My kid

I

When I met you, you were simply
Employed at a ministry
You were earning, I think, twelve hundred francs a year
You didn't look like a millionaire
You told me: "I love you, will you, be mine"
To live everything, you don't need much
And in my little bed, you'll be at home
We'll both have beautiful pink dreams there

Chorus

A love story
It always starts
With beautiful promises
One spring evening
When you're twenty
You want a mistress
The heart is dizzy
You're excited
You find her pretty
And in a kiss
You swear to love each other
For life

II

We had been living together for almost two years
It had been six months since I became a mother
When you left me one evening abruptly
Telling me "take care, my dear"
You had ambition, you wanted to marry
It bothered you a lot to have a burden
You sacrificed me, oh! without hesitation
To do a cowardly act, a man must have courage

Chorus

I sadly said
If you leave me now
My kid will no longer have a father
You replied to me
This thing, you see
It doesn't concern me
My heart broke
Then I despised you
Seeing you so harsh
I left your place
Taking with me
My poor kid

III

Ten years have passed
You write to me now
You tell me you have a guilty conscience
You come to propose to take my child
To secure his existence
Do you think of me, like you, as a heartless being
What you're asking me there is madness
To give you my kid, but it's my happiness
It's my only hope, it's my whole life

Chorus

For him I cried
For him I spent
Nights of suffering
I gave my blood
Just to have
A day of hope
But also now
To keep this child
I will become fierce
No! as long as I live
You will never have
My poor kid

Good evening

Thank you for the lyrics, my boyfriend's grandmother, who is 98 years old, sings it every year on her birthday. And we all cry every time. THANK YOU.
