Question D'Un Cœur En Mille Morceaux

Vive l’héro
La chanson voisine des louanges
Et toi-

Tu m’as laissé
Au sommet 
De leur jeu 

Et j’ai pleuré
Tout seul
Sans arrêt, comme une veille chute d’eau 

Mais quand 
Tu n’es pas retourné, pour retrouver 
Ta jeunesse d’antan

Pourquoi 
Personne ne vient 
Pour me demander?

Comment
Oui, comment j’ai arrêté
De pleurer


Question From A Broken Heart (English)

Long live the hero
The neighbors’ song of praise
And you-

You left me
To the top
Of their game

And I cried 
Alone
Nonstop, like an ancient waterfall

But when
You didn’t come back, to rediscover 
Your long lost youth

Why
Nobody is coming
To ask me ?

How,
Yes, how I stopped
From weeping
