Je ne chercherai pas à te jamais...
Language: French (Français) after the Arabic (العربية)
Je ne chercherai pas à te jamais comprendre,
Je ne chercherai pas à savoir si tu mens,
Pourvu que ton regard ou ta voix me soit tendre,
Pourvu que tes deux bras me soient toujours aimants.

Ik ben er niet op uit
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the French (Français)
Ik ben er niet op uit je nooit te begrijpen
Ik ben er niet op uit te weten of je liegt
Zolang als jouw blik of stem mij teder maakt
Zolang jouw twee armen mij altijd zullen beminnen.
