La fille qui pleurait [English translation]

A girl was crying as she crossed the border,

Over her lost illusions and her homeland she left behind.

A boy passing by took her hand

And told her "Don't cry, everything will get better, tomorrow you will have forgotten."

I had a white house by the sea

I had friends, I had sunshine

I had so many wonderful things that I'm loosing

And the smile of my father.

The crying girl finally dried her tears.

"I'm lost" she said, the boy smiled, already under her spell

"You know you're pretty here, prettier than anywhere else.

You will surely find people who will help you, kind-hearted people."

I had a white house by the sea

I had friends, I had sunshine

I had so many wonderful things that I'm loosing.

And the smile of my father.

The girl who was crying smiled like a child

Comforted by the words, she saw again victorious days.

Two entwined shadows are running to the forest

The boy who was passing by takes with him the girl who was crying.

I had a white house by the sea

I had friends, I had sunshine

I had so many wonderful things that I'm loosing.

And the smile of my father.

I had a white house by the sea

I had friends, I had sunshine

I had so many wonderful things that I'm loosing.

And the smile of my father.

Lai, Lá, Lá, Larai, Lá, Lá, Larai...

Lai, Lá, Lá, Larai, Lá, Lá, Larai...

I had so many wonderful things that I'm loosing.

And the smile of my father.

Lai, Lá, Lá, Larai, Lá, Lá, Larai...

Lai, Lá, Lá, Larai, Lá, Lá, Larai...
