Sans toi [English translation]

The wind in the autumn trees

A silent piano that wonders

And memory of you in my heart

As the flowers move in spring

I might keep it quiet or say it

My life couldn’t be worse

Than this forlorn merry-go-round

Where nothing will come to sing

Without you, this life holds me captive

Without you, I'm a nobody

Whether Christmas bells ring or not,

You will not come back.

These sidewalks where the rain falls

The silent piano that grieves

And the memory of you in my eyes

It keeps me from believing in God.

I might keep it quiet or say it

Of all the joys on earth

The one that your hand gave me

Will never survive another year

Without you, this life holds me captive

Without you, I am a nobody.

Whether Christmas bells ring or not,

You will not come back.

This snow under the umbrella

And this piano is like in agony

And my voice down there is lost

Like a wave on the sea.

I might keep it quiet or say it

There's a mystery somewhere

Somewhere a sleeping shadow

Somewhere another scenery.

Without you, this life holds me captive

Without you, I am a nobody

Whether Christmas bells ring or not,

You will not come back.
