À quoi ça sert ? [English translation]

Like you, I have a heart

That can promise nothing,

Who is frightened by love

But who loves you perhaps

What good does it do to hide that?

What use is there to run away?

I have nothing to offer you

Other than what my eyes see

You don't want to suffer

But who doesn't suffer?

What good does it do to avoid that?

What good does it do to walk away?

To stay in your ivory tower

Feeling happy or feeling blue*

All alone, all alone

As we aren't so miserable

We forget that we are not happy

All alone, all alone.

I only have the stars

And nothing else for you

If we must hurt ourselves

It's life who wants that

What is the point, to stay alone?

What good does it do, to live alone?

I only have the stars

And nothing else for you

If we must hurt ourselves

It's life who wants that

What is the point, to stay alone?

What good does it do, to live alone?

All alone.
