Toi, tu l'entends pas [English translation]

You don't hear,

You don't hear,

This party

In my head.

You don't see them,

All these million candles

which burn in my brain.

You don't hear,

You don't hear.

It's too silly,

It's too silly.

You don't hear

This gigantic orchestra

As it plays only for me.

You don't hear

You don't hear

This crowd

Which makes me dizzy

With its shouts of joy,

Which dance the Carmagnole

And sing crazy things.

You don't hear

You don't hear

The din

Which rattles

Deep inside of me.

It invades my body and soul

But you don't hear it.

You don't hear,

You don't hear

The music

And the circuses

And the operas,

The republican guard,

The great fun fair.

You don't hear

You don't hear

My heart is beating

Struggling,

Fighting for you

It beating as loud as four

But you don't hear it.

You don't hear,

You don't hear.

It's too silly,

It's too silly.

You don't hear

These million poems

For every rhyme is "I love you".

You will hear them.

You will hear them.

When you love me,

When you love me,

When you will love me,

You will enter into my round dance

The day you will love me.

You will enter into my round dance...

...The day you will love me...
