Celui qui ne savait pas pleurer

It's the story of an average guy
Who could never shed a tear
He just didn't have the means
But he really would have liked to
'Cause crying, it brings relief
And it soothes the heart, you know
But he was past the age
Of learning sorrow by heart

He tried to focus hard
To feel something unexpected
But no, he just couldn't cry
And that's what made him sad
To buy himself that little moment
When you're truly feeling low
He'd create his own troubles
Invent serious issues, you know

And for that, he knew how to do it
Judging by his past
He even tried to hang himself
Proof that he didn't like to joke
When a big misfortune came around
He'd charm it right away
But no matter how hard he broke his heart
He couldn't find a single tear

It hit him suddenly
Meeting by a fountain
Where spring was washing up
A girl who was feeling down
In her little canvas apron
She cried like a child
He saw her eyes full of stars
So he did the same thing

A guy like that isn't common
'Cause he wasn't like the rest of us
Since for him to feel sorrow
He needed the pain of others
The girl was all alone in the world
All alone by day, all alone by night
And especially, she was blonde
So he took her with him

He's happy now 'cause it's her
Who taught him how to cry
But the lesson was too beautiful
The girl too... everything went wrong
He became quite unhappy
Deceived more than he deserved
And every day, he cries a bit
Now that he knows, he takes advantage.
