Sophie [English translation]

When you were alive

You were called Sophie

And you were pretty

Miss Sophie

Your dreams full of madness

And your imagination

You made the prettiest

Miss Sophie

Oh, Sophie, Sophie!

You had beautiful hair

A delicious smile

Eyes full of dreams

How wonderful to be

You were in life

Oh, Miss Sophie!

A man without imagination

Who you wanted

Entered in your life

Miss Sophie

He told you, "Honey,

I will love you for life."

He lied to you

Miss Sophie

Oh, Sophie, Sophie!

Only living for him

You let go of your friends

To only think of him

But he didn't understand

One day, he left

Oh, Miss Sophie!

Goodbye, imagination

Goodbye, your anger

You no longer loved life

Miss Sophie

One sad rainy evening

Gave to God the desire

To take your life

Miss Sophie

Oh, Sophie, Sophie!

But what possessed you

To leave us like that

Without telling us anything?

You killed life

You're in paradise

Oh, Miss Sophie!

When you were alive

You were called Sophie

And you were, oh you were pretty!

Miss Sophie
