Si Maman Si

All my friends have left
My heart has moved
My vacations are always in Paris
My plans are to keep going
My loves are to invent

If, mom, if
If, mom, if
Mom, if you saw my life
I cry as I laugh
If, mom, if
But my future remains gray
And my heart too

And time passes like a train
And I'm at the window
I am so clumsy that tomorrow
Happiness may pass by
Without me knowing how to recognize it

If, mom, if
If, mom, if
Mom, if you saw my life
I cry as I laugh
If, mom, if
But my future remains gray
And my heart too

My heart is comfortable, cozy
And I let the wind pass
My desires fade, I turn my back on them
And I fall asleep gently
Without chaos, nor feeling

If, mom, if
If, mom, if
Mom, if you saw my life
I cry as I laugh
If, mom, if
But my future remains gray
And my heart too

If, mom, if
If, mom, if
Mom, if you saw my life
I cry as I laugh
If, mom, if
But my future remains gray
And my heart too
