Ma vie 2 fois

by Cheb Mami. Track 7 on his 2001 album Dellali. Guitar by Chet Atkins, drums Omar Hakim.

I am not yet satisfied with my translation, but this is what I have so far:

You are the cure, each time I feel tormented
You are my source of endless passion
Even if I had to live my life twice
I never would tire of you

Where are you bird, oh bird, the tang of paradise
Where are you oh deer, deer with you I can find happiness

Without you my bird, my bird, my life is bitter
For you I could be jealous, and I fear losing you

And with you my deer, I find pleasure, and I love, love speaking with you
And I adore you my baby, my beauty, my unspoiled girl

My heart is young, it is jealous, and sometimes can feel frustration
What do I do, tell me what to do, my feelings for you are so strong
