Puisque c'est ma rose

You don't look like my rose
Even if a random passerby
Could claim the opposite
You're nothing yet
No one has tamed you,
You haven't tamed anyone
As long as you have no friends, you're not unique in this world.

You're beautiful but you're empty
We can't die for you
And all by herself, my rose means so much more than anything
Since it's her I've watered,
Since it's her I've protected,
Since it's her I love to listen to
Since it's my rose.

For our goodbyes, here’s my secret:
You can only see well with your heart
You must understand the essential is invisible to the eyes
If men forget this truth,
You must not forget it
It's the time lost for your rose
That makes your rose so important
You become responsible forever for what you've tamed

So here I am, responsible for my rose forever.

Since it's her I've watered,
Since it's her I've protected,
Since it's her I love to listen to
Since it's my rose.
Since it's her I love to shelter
Since it's her I love to reassure
Since it's her I love to love
Since it's my rose.

Since it's her

Since it's my rose.
