Des millions de larmes [English translation]

Millions of tears, never-ending tears—

have drowned my soul, have drowned my heart.

And whatever I do—time will pass,

sad and lonely—crying for you.

You do not know, my great love,-—

you who, perhaps, has left forevermore—

you do not know that, when it rains,

it is my sorrow falling into your life—

that these are my tears flowing towards you

and going along with you far away from here.

... millions of tears…

... have drowned my heart.

And yet I continue to hope—I count the days

and entire nights—I await your return.

And, as ever, I would be there—

on the blessed day when you come back to me.

You only need to open your arms to me—

but, while waiting, I sigh under my breath.

And so weeps my soul, and so weeps my heart—

millions of tears, never-ending tears.
