Le Mal Aimé [English translation]

I need to be loved

But nobody understands

What I hope and wish for

Who could tell me who I am?

And I’m afraid

All my life being misunderstood

Because today: I feel unloved

(Refrain:)

I am unloved

People know me

As I want to be seen

But have they tried to know

Where my joys come from?

And why my despair

Hidden deep inside myself

If the appearances

Are sometime against me

I’m not what one thinks

I’d exchange right now each day’s adventure

For the bliss of one single love

But I’m still like always unloved

Refrain

Because l am unloved

Refrain X 2
