Ne lui dis pas [English translation]

Don't tell him

When you see him

That I cried so much

When he left me

Don't tell him

When he talks about me

That I used to read every day

The few love words he always sent to me

That at every birthday

Under the snow in winter

I ran a thousand times believing he was there

Just tell him

That from time to time

When I was afraid in the night

I talked to you about him

Don't tell him

When he asks

That despite the years

I haven't forgotten anything

Neither his voice

Nor the sound of his footsteps

Nor the sugar he used to put in his coffee

Nor his eyes when he laughed

That I love him still

Even if he was wrong

That I would forgive him if he came back

Just tell him

That from time to time

When I was afraid in the night

I talked to you about him

"Your daddy, kiddo, rebuilt his life.

So believe me, don't say anything,

it would break his heart."

Just tell him

That from time to time

When I was afraid in the night

I talked to you about him

Don't tell him

Oh don't tell him

Don't tell him

Don't tell...
