Brenda Lee - You Don't Have To Say You Love Me with CC Lyrics
Музыка
Activate closed captions to see the lyrics on screen. Performance from 1987 or 1988. This song was a mega hit for Dusty Springfield in 1966 ( #1 in the UK and #4 in the US). Brenda Lee covered it the same year on her "Coming On Strong" album. It is an Italian song "Io che non vivo (senza te)" - "I cannot live (without you)". Springfield heard it performed at the San Remo song contest by Pino Donaggio and Jody Miller. She had English lyrics written for her recording. In 1970, Elvis Presley's version reached #11 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the AC chart.
Music by Pino Donaggio with lyrics by Vito Pallavicini
English lyrics by Vicki Wickham and Simon Napier-Bell.
Lyrics as sung by Brenda Lee:
When I said I needed you, you said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you, and now you've gone away
Don't you know that now you've gone, I'm left here on my own
and I have to follow you and beg you to come home
You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand
Believe me, believe me, I can't help but love you
But believe me, I'll never tie you down
Live alone with just a memory, my life is dead and so unreal
There's nothing left for me, there's nothing left for me ¹
You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand
Believe me, believe me,
Ooooh,
You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand
Believe me, believe me, believe me
¹The original line here is
"All that's left is loneliness, there's nothing left to feel"
Please excuse the blurry video, but I thought the vocal performance was worth posting. Video is from 1987 or 1988.
Song history:
Madeline Bell, one of Dusty's backup singers, recalled that Dusty kept it under wraps. No one could hear it until the English lyrics were done. Dusty gave to a trusted friend, Vicki Wickham to do the lyrics. With Dusty's approval, Wickam partnered with her friend Simon Napier-Bell on the assignment. Napier-Bell later became Springfield's manager. The lyrics are not a translation of the original Italian.

*Taylor Swift on Brenda Lee* : “the singer who mastered the _sound of heartbreak_ so flawlessly that she made audiences not only identify with her but believe her.” Source: "Woman Walk the Line: How the Women in Country Music Changed Our Lives", a book by Holly Gleason
Truly, a powerhouse of a vocalist. Her phrasing is wonderful and unique. I met her back in the 90s. Very sweet lady. She was well under five feet tall, but her energy, and genuine attitude, filled the room.
Big applause for this wonderful woman with a magic voice..
Ive listened to this many times it was my darling dad that loved her and now at 61 I love her too

As we saw last Christmas, Brenda's songs and performances stretch across generations,, age groups and national boundaries.
Her songs always touched my heart.
In my opinion, Brenda Lee is the finest female vocalist of the 1950s. Yes #1 on my list.

Our #1 too. I would quibble with "1950s". She was famous as a child star in the 50s, but 1960s was really her golden era.
Nobody else has even sung this song as good as Brenda Lee !! very nice, smooth !!

That little Lady did not make a mistake, she knows exactly what she is doing!
I saw her in concert in the late 70's with John Conlee. It was a fund raiser. There wasn't many people there. So they just pulled up the chairs and talked and sang and it was like sitting in your living room. She was so funny. I never forgot it. Great person.

Not only a talent. She is a deep professional, first of all. She posseses singing techniques like noone else.
When I hear her wonderful way of delivering a song, I fall in love with her all over again!! Miss DYNAMITE is right!
Brenda Lee was my first teenage crush graduated in 1963
Great and unpretentious singer. I am from 1947 and we all knew the songs of Brenda Lee that was in North Africa
Wow, what a powerful voice, talent, beautiful woman.
Little Girl with a Angels Voice. Always Love Her.
Wow! She's outstanding! And she's mature. Marvelous voice.
Beautiful- she sing this song- I listen in the Elvis' voice.

Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello make you smile!!
A song forever in my heart, in the summer of 1966, when I had a crush on a girl from St Paul Minn, when we both worked in a resort in Northern Wisconsin. She was a classic, letter writing Midwestern girl, sweet and thoughtful. How I miss her and pray she has had a good happy life.
Brenda Lee : Her beautifulvoice is eternal !
Why would anyone 'dislike' this? Ok, the film is blurry, but this is old school singing that you just can't get these days ~ Brenda was a true natural - this video proves that she still had what it took, right from childhood. My dear Nan was born in 1905 and she had had a hard life - in the workhouse aged 6 and never saw her mother and brother again (her father had died) - I remember buying her a tape of Brenda Lee when I was 15 when I had got my first Saturday job and she didn't know what to do with it! But she told me, she loved Brenda's music and she would never forget it - so keep the tape and enjoy her beautiful songs for myself. Love you Nan xxxx
I love Brenda Lee! Oldies but goodies, too.
her voice ...and how she make interpritation with her own voice is just Wondeful !!!

SEMPRE QUE "VEJO" BRENDA LEE , ME DEIXA MUITO TRISTE , GRANDE CANTORA ..., MAS O FATO É, QUE ELA FAZ LEMBRAR MINHA MÃE QUE ERA CANTORA DE RÁDIO, E POR IRONIA DO DESTINO, TEVE UMA UMA VIDA INTEIRA DE RENÚNCIAS, FRACASSOS, UM DIA ALI OUTRO DIA SÓ DEUS SABE ... ANDANÇAS SEM CHEGAR A LUGAR NENHUM ... E NA OCASIÃO; CANTORA ERA TAXADA DE PROTITUTA ... Me deu pra outra pessoa criar , Ficou velha , foi morar numa casa de repouso de idosos e morreu só ..., eu não consegui localiza-la antes ...😓 A VOZ da Brenda faz lembrar a voz dela ( MARIA CIBELE RECONHECIDA COMO A RAINHA DO RÁDIO/ ES )😓 APLAUSOS PRA VC MÃE 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤
Who cares about the video the song is timeless !
Wow. She is pretty outstanding, isn't she? This may be one of her best renderings of anything she's ever done. It's a pretty emotional song. Her voice and power has actually improved with time. Listen to how well she handles the key change at 2:25. Really a dramatic song which so suits her ability and style. She has gone from a 12 year old church singer to a fine cask of wine. Our birthdays are only a few days apart. Thank you Miss-Dino-Mite!
I just think she is the best! I loved hearing her songs in the 50's and 60's! Emotions is one of my most favorites! I just love the pure emotion of all her songs!!
Brenda Lee's songs remind me of my high school days.Beautiful songs indeed!
She still have the beautiful voice at her age.
*enchanted voice of one of my favorites Ma'am Brenda Lee!^
From Russia with love! Brenda Lee is the greatest singer!
So love this song,and at times sing it,beautifully compose and enterpreted,a classic till remembered till now....
One of the great of the early singers at such a young age! Little miss dynamite. Still can knock it out. Would love to see her perform again! Ms Brenda Lee!♥️ great powerhouse voice! Miss those older talents. Would love to them again!

Saw her in 2016. Her devotion to her audience was still there. She stayed maybe an hour afterwards, signing everything and getting pictures taken with fans. Never changed even after 60 years of doing it.
Am becoming a Big Fan of this Amazing Lady. Still had a great voice.
She can still bring it!

She sang and even recorded a few songs in Italian. I have wondered whether she ever did "Io che non vivo" in a live performance when in Europe.
