The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia CD 2

Lyrics:

I can't pretend

I'm sorry we're apart

I can't pretend

I just can't fool my heart

Though I make mine

My friends all seem to realize

Their smiles, that look in my eye

I can't pretend

I simply can't be gayer

For in the end

My tears give me away

Without you dear

I live a lie

I can't defend

I love you

And I can't pretend

This was probably one of the first Billie Holiday records I remember. It was on a re issue and I had never heard her voice and I remember being so taken back I was like WTF and I grew to become completely addicted to her in my adolesant. My friends ( rap was the music of my adodelsent use to say " It sounds like music from the little rascals" But it didnt bother me I dug her .......still do

Dans la même veine, Billie Holiday *"interprète"* une chanson de Charles Tobias et Paul Rusincky, *"I can't pretend"*.───*I can't Pretend* *(Charles Tobias / Paul Rusincky)**I can't pretend**Je ne peux pas faire semblant**I'm sorry we're apart**Que je suis désolée que nous ne soyons pas ensemble**I can't pretend**Je ne peux pas faire semblant**I just can't fool my heart**Car je ne peux pas tromper mon cœur**Though I make mine**Si j'en fais mine**My friends all seem to realize**Mes amis semblent tous le voir**Their smiles, that look in my eye**Leurs sourires, leurs regards dans mes yeux...**I can't pretend**Je ne peux pas faire semblant**I simply can't be gayer**Je ne peux pas être plus gaie**For in the end**Car enfin**My tears give me away**Mes larmes me mènent ailleurs,**Without you dear**Sans toi, chéri**I live a lie**Je vis un mensonge**I can't defend**Je ne peux pas prétendre**I love you**Que je t'aime**And I can't pretend**Et je ne peux pas non plus faire semblant*───

Ha ha. That lyric you have as "though I make mine" is actually "though I may smile". Funny, because occasionally Lady would screw up words as well - these were, after all, tin pan alley throw aways that Lady and her chums turned into gold. Thanks for uploading 'em. M
