Si on te demande [English translation]

If someone asks you,

tell them you don't know anything.

My life is a series

with no ending.

You think I'm too easy-going,

yeah, I'm well aware of that.

I try to keep on smiling,

that disguises the griefs.

And I'm drawing hearts over crossing-outs,

I paint over my sorrows with past time.

Just like when I was twenty, nothing has changed.

I have written so many "I love you"s on the walls,

struggling against all adversity

with dry eyes and a hoarse voice.

If they ask you,

whether I'm alright,

tell them I'm a mother.

A mother never complains.

If they ask you

when I'll be back,

tell them I'm right there,

a few train stations away.

If someone tells you

I see myself as a star,

tell them that in God's eye

I am no better than you.

If someone asks you

if I'm always frank,

tell them that, where I come from

people do things for real.

I have seen so many hearts beating under armors.

Often lost young girls,

not so though bandits.

I have written so many "I love you"s on the walls

struggling against all adversity

with dry eyes and a hoarse voice.

If they ask you,

whether I'm alright,

tell them I'm a mother.

A mother never complains.

If they ask you

when I'll be back,

tell them I'm right there,

a few train stations away.

If they ask you...

If they ask you...

If they ask you...

If they ask you,

whether I'm alright,

a few train stations away.
