Si maman si [English translation]

All my friends are gone,

My heart has moved places.

My holidays are always in Paris

My projects are to carry on this way

My loves are all invented.

If, mum, if

If, mum, if

Mum if you could see my life.

I cry and I laugh,

Yes, mum, yes,

But my future remains dark

And so does my heart.

And time flies by like a train

And I'm seating at the window.

I am so blind that tomorrow

Happiness may come by

Without me recognizing it.

If, mum, if

If, mum, if

Mum if you could see my life.

I cry and I laugh,

Yes, mum, yes,

But my future remains dark

And so does my heart.

My heart is comfortable, nice and warm

As I let the turmoils go by.

My desires dim, I turn my back to them

And I fall asleep softly

Without chaos nor feelings.

If, mum, if

If, mum, if

Mum if you could see my life.

I cry and I laugh,

Yes, mum, yes,

But my future remains dark

And so does my heart.

If, mum, if

If, mum, if

Mum if you could see my life.

I cry and I laugh,

Yes, mum, yes,

But my future remains dark

And so does my heart.
