Je garde le sourire [English translation]

[Intro]

So I keep smiling

So I keep smiling

[Verse 1]

All these people who moved for me

Yes I wanted it, but every time I wonder why

My scene is a circus, I have made it as my home

Where everyone is at home, because everybody knows my songs

A sick heart chases after healing

My public can not understand; I'm in a state of self-mockery

Tonight I filled one of the most beautiful venues in Paris

But tonight I lost a brother, a close friend in my life

[Chorus]

But no choice, the people people across from me expect a lot of me

If I lower my arms whatever happens I can only blame myself

So I keep smiling

I veil my face

And your expression makes me envy your place

Since I keep smiling

I take upon myself

This makeup, which makes prevents you from seeing

I'm a clown, I suffer

I'm a clown, I suffer

I keep smiling

I keep smiling

I keep smiling

[Verse 2]

I fought for years to get where I am

In business with no one above me in the hierarchy

I'm an accomplished man

I'm supposed to be happy, I didn't understand

Stuck in my chair after the last call

The doctor made me understand that every meeting I lost a bit of life

In my field I'm the best according to the rumor

But according to it I am also suffering from a large tumor

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Many women will recognize and say,

That broken pottery cannot fix itself, yeah

Victim of a raving madman

The blows are invisible to a housewife

She cries her makeup flows

Her children are afraid

She makes them believe that everything is cool

The woman is a fighter

She is so amazing

Her animal instinct is to pull the trigger

A soldier who doesn't have the time that you have

Who smiles but we don't know how

With a foundation over evil

Even the clown doesn't see her feelings

[Chorus 2]

So I keep smiling

Nobody understands the clown

Since I keep smiling

Nobody understands the clown

I'm a clown, I suffer

I'm a clown, I suffer

I keep smiling

I keep smiling

I keep smiling

Nobody understands the clown

I keep smiling

Nobody understands the clown
