Ma belle Sophie [English translation]

Stop carrying

All the weight of destiny

On your back

I will still be there tomorrow

Even if the weather won’t be nice.

Put out the thunder

That rumbles inside you, my beautiful Sophie

You know that we're just some people

And that the world is small

All small

Too small

For knowing everything

For understanding everything

Many things that are too great (big)

Greater (bigger) than us

But, it may be good, that sometimes

Everything is simple nothing

Nothing to understand

Nothing to understand.

Because if she left sooner

Leaving an anger too big

In your eyes

Nothing to do by the good God

When words aren’t found

For explaining

For explaining.

But, stop crying

My beautiful Sophie

Tell yourself that there’s a sky

Hidden in your cloud

And that the sorrow itself

That you are carrying like a luggage

Isn’t immortal

Isn’t immortal.
