Si maman si [English translation]

All my friends are gone.

My heart has moved on.

My vacation, it's still Paris.

My plans are to go on.

My loves, it's to invent.

Mummy if only if

Mummy if only if

Mummy, if only you could see my life.

I cry just like I laugh,

Mummy if only if,

But my outlook stays bleak

And so does my heart.

And time flies like an arrow

And here I am, at my window.

I'm so hardly deft that tomorrow

Joy may pass nearby

Without my knowing recognize it.

Mummy if only if

Mummy if only if

Mummy, if only you could see my life

I cry just like I laugh,

Mummy if only if,

But my outlook stays bleak

And so does my heart.

My heart is comfortable, tucked up warm.

And I let the wind pass.

My wishes wipe out, I turn my back on them,

And I softly fall asleep,

Without chaos nor feeling.

Mummy if only if

Mummy if only if

Mummy, if only you could see my life

I cry just like I laugh,

Mummy if only if,

But my outlook stays bleak

And so does my heart.

Mummy if only if

Mummy if only if

Mummy, if only you could see my life

I cry just like I laugh,

Mummy if only if,

But my outlook stays bleak

And so does my heart.
