Elle pleure son homme
She cries for her man
Debout dans la foule
Standing in the crowd
Ses larmes qui coulent
Her tears that flow
Son corps qui frissonne
Her body that shivers
Elle pleure son homme
She cries for her man
Elle lui parle encore
She still talks to him
Mais celui qui dort
But the one who's asleep
N'entend plus personne
Hears no one anymore
Elle pleure un homme
She weeps for a man
Les autres, elle s'en fout
The others, she doesn't care
Elle pleure son amour jusqu'au bout
She cries for her love until the end
Ils parlent de lui
They talk about him
Tous ses copains
All his buddies
Tous ses amis
All his friends
Ils en disent du bien
They say good things about him
Elle entend leurs voix
She hears their voices
Elle ne les voit pas
She doesn't see them
Elle les reconnaîtra demain
She'll recognize them tomorrow
Elle pleure son homme
She cries for her man
C'est lui qui s'en va
It's him who's leaving
Lui qui n'aimait pas
He who did not love
Les fleurs les couronnes
The flowers, the crowns
Elle pleure son homme
She cries for her man
Avant que la terre
Before the earth
Ne le rende à la terre
Returns him to the ground
Au ciel, y a personne
In heaven, there’s no one
Elle pleure un homme
She cries for a man
Les autres, elle s'en fout
The others, she doesn't care
Elle pleure son amour jusqu'au bout
She cries for her love till the end
Elle pleure son homme
She cries for her man
Elle vivra pour lui
She will live for him
Elle sent qu'en elle, il est en vie
She feels that he is alive within her
Les gens la prennent
People take her in
Lui tiennent la main
Hold her hand
Comme si sa peine
As if her sorrow
Etait leur chagrin
Were their grief
Elle voit leurs visages
She sees their faces
Elle manque de courage
She lacks the courage
Pour leur dire qu'elle ira bien
To tell them that she will be okay
Elle pleure son homme
She weeps for her man
Ses yeux et sa bouche
Her eyes and her mouth
Ses mains qui la touchent
Her hands that touch her
La nuit comme personne
The night like no other
Elle pleure son homme
She weeps for her man
Pas un souvenir
Not a single memory
Héros ou martyr
Hero or martyr
Mais quelqu'un qui donne
But someone who gives
Elle pleure son homme
She weeps for her man
Les autres, elle s'en fout
She doesn't care about the others
Elle n'avait qu'un homme après tout
She only had one man after all
Elle pleure un homme
She cries for a man
Elle vivra pour lui
She will live for him
Elle sent qu'en elle, il est en vie
She feels that within her, he is alive
Elle sent qu'en elle, il est en vie
She feels that within her, he is alive
