Pourquoi mon Dieu [English translation]

Oh, You who know how much, my Lord

Fragile is love

Why did you let it die

Without bringing any help

It was a river, drunk of life

But its spring has dried up

Oh, my Lord

Why, my Lord

There’s nothing left but bitterness

Which consumes my heart

Oh, my Lord

Why, my Lord

What will happen to me, my Lord

What will happen to me, to us

One may smile, one may suffer

One may die from memories

Why, my Lord

Why, my Lord

Oh, You who know how much, my Lord

Fragile is love

Why did you let it burn

From the sunshine of my days

There’s nothing left but shadow

Which carries the sorrow of the world

Oh, my Lord

Why, my Lord

I no longer dare wait

for it to arise from its ashes

Oh, my Lord

Why, my Lord

What will happen to me, my Lord

What will happen to me, to us

One may smile, one may suffer

One may die from memories

Why, my Lord

Why, my Lord

Why, my Lord…
