C'est trop tard [English translation]

It’s too late to shed tears,

Now that they are no longer here,

It’s too late, hold your tears back

Too late, they won’t see them

Because when they are alive

You should love those you love

Because when they are alive

You should give to those you love

They are lying under the ground

In their cold and empty houses

Where the light will not enter anymore

Where nothing can penetrate

What will they do with so many flowers?

Now when they are no longer here,

What will they do with so many flowers?

So many flowers at once?

Were you going to bring them some roses

When they were still here?

Were you going to bring them some roses?

They would have preferred, I believe.

That you know how to say I love you.

That you say it to them more often,

They would have wanted us to love them

When, when they were alive.

There they are like statues

In the cold garden of silence

Where the birds no longer sing

Where nothing matters anymore

They never again will see the sea.

Never again the leaning night,

The great forests in winter,

The redhead autumn in the branches,

But we only have regrets,

But we only have remorses,

But they will never know it,

They will no longer hear,It’s too late,

Too late, too late...
