I don't cry
I don't cry
I don't know how to let it out
I don't know how to let it out
Do you see me through
Do you see me through
All the water?
All the water?
How do you do?
How do you do?
Si mes yeux se remplissent de sel
If my eyes fill with salt
C'est que je fais partie de celles
It's because I belong to those
Dont les larmes, sur les joues, ruissellent
Whose tears flow down their cheeks
Et ça me fait pas peur
And that doesn't scare me
I don't cry
I don't cry
I don't know how to let it out
I don't know how to let it out
Do you see me through
Do you see me through
All the water?
All the water?
Je peux pleurer, et aussi fort que le ciel (how do you do?)
I can cry, just as loud as the sky (how do you do?)
Toute une nuit, c'est fou ce que le cœur recèle (how do you do?)
All night long, it's crazy what the heart hides (how do you do?)
D'eau de pluie, de flots de demoiselles
Of rainwater, of streams of young girls
Sors, c'est moi et alors
Come out, it's me and so what
Laisse tes pleurs (show me the way to)
Let your tears flow (show me the way to)
Laisse tes pleurs couler (show me the way to cry)
Let your tears flow (show me the way to cry)
Laisse tes pleurs couler (show me the way to cry)
Let your tears flow (show me the way to cry)
Dans ton lit, sous la couette, dans la nuit
In your bed, under the covers, in the night
Et la tête dans les étoiles
And your head in the stars
Pour un rien, pour un tout
For nothing, for everything
Et pourquoi, on s'en fout
And why, we don't care
Si t'es à poil
If you're naked
À midi, aux aurores, à minuit, dans un port
At noon, at dawn, at midnight, in a port
Si tu as mal
If you're hurting
Devant des gens, en solo et même dans le métro
In front of people, solo and even in the subway
Si tu t'emballes
If you get carried away
Dans ton lit, sous la couette, dans la nuit
In your bed, under the covers, in the night
Et la tête dans les étoiles
With my head in the stars
Pour un rien, pour un tout
For nothing, for everything
Et pourquoi, on s'en fout
And why, we don't care
Si t'es à poil
If you're naked
À midi, aux aurores, à minuit, dans un port
At noon, at dawn, at midnight, in a port
Si tu as mal (si tu as mal)
If you're hurting (if you're hurting)
Devant des gens, en solo et même dans le métro
In front of people, solo and even in the subway
Si tu t'emballes (si tu t'emballes)
If you get carried away (if you get carried away)
Dans ton lit, sous la couette, dans la nuit
In your bed, under the duvet, in the night
Et la tête dans les étoiles (dans les étoiles) (je laisse)
With my head in the stars (in the stars) (I let it go)
Pour un rien, pour un tout
For nothing, for everything
Et pourquoi? On s'en fout (mes pleurs)
And why? We don't care (my tears)
Si t'es à poil (si t'es à poil) (couler)
If you're exposed (if you're exposed) (to sink)
À midi, aux aurores, à minuit, dans un port
At noon, at dawn, at midnight, in a port
Si tu as mal (si tu as mal, je laisse)
If you're in pain (if you're in pain, I let it go)
Devant des gens, en solo et même dans le métro (mes pleurs)
In front of people, solo and even in the metro (my tears)
Si tu t'emballes (si tu t'emballes)
If you get carried away (if you get carried away)
I don't cry
I don't cry
I don't know how to let it out
I don't know how to let it out
Do you see me through
Do you see me through
All the water?
All the water?
How do you do?
How do you do?
How do you do?
How do you do?
