Trop lourd dans mon cœur [English translation]

I saw the sky darken unexpectedly,

everything just collapses like a house of cards,

but how can I put it,

since with every breath I take

I feel like a knife

stabbing inside of me.

I tought I would never want to smile ever again1,

or even watch the sun rise.

What is a violin without a bow,

a painting without light,

as I see life...

leaving me?

My heart is too heavy2

for me to get over it

(My heart is too heavy)

All I can do is run

(My heart is too heavy)

Come to my rescue,

my heart is too heavy.

I had my share of luck and my share of pain

I often thought I had no future.

I brushed with this angel, I know,

I'll never forget him,

he makes life seem...

different.

My heart is too heavy

for me to get over it

(My heart is too heavy)

All I want to do is run

(My heart is too heavy)

Come to my rescue,

my heart is too heavy.

You, if you can still listen to me,

tell me whom I should speak to.3

Love is stronger than that.

If you are the angel I believe in,

then I know to whom I shall return (from there)4

Ooooh

(My heart is too heavy)

My heart, my heart is too heavy

(My heart is too heavy)

I know, all I can do is run

(My heart is too heavy)

Oh, oh

Come to my rescue,

my heart is too heavy,

far too heavy,

far too heavy.

1. sounds a bit like the "I think I thought I saw you try" in "losing my religion" :)2. word for word that would be "(things are) too heavy in my heart" or "(I feel) too heavy in my heart", but I can't think of a better equivalent3. that's what the French says, but what she means by that is not very clear4. Terribly awkward sentence. I suppose it means "once I get over my problems, I know I shall return to you (assuming you're the proper kind of angel)" or something like that
