Pourquoi tant de larmes? [English translation]

You didn't know how to keep

his heart nor the water in your eyes.

We don't know what to say

when goodbye is needed.

And all those words getting to you,

small pieces of pieces of wool,

become sobs

and flow like water.

What's the point of loving?

What's the point of offering

if it's for suffering so much

when that is not enough?

Why so many tears?

Oh yes, so many tears

and your heart so heavy

with so little love.

Forget the charm,

oh, beautiful flag,

the vows of one day

and their surrounding void.

You didn't know, don't blame yourself.

Those who believe him, don't know.

Sometimes, there are brambles

unseen by desire.

We crash into each other, we argue.

We sometimes forget even

the how, the reason

for love, its laws.

Why so many tears?

Oh yes, so many tears

and your heart so heavy

with so little love.

Why so many tears?

Oh yes, so many tears

and your heart so heavy

with so little love.

Why so many tears?

Oh yes, so many tears

and your heart so heavy

with so little love.

Forget the charm,

oh, beautiful flag,

the vows of one day

and their surrounding void.
