Et un jour une femme
Florent Pagny
And one day a woman
Having spent sleepless nights dreaming
What fairy tales let you imagine
Having lost her childhood in the street
Disappointed illusions go unnoticed
Having fallen lower than dust
And to the whole world
Blaming then staying silent
Having let go of her dignity
Without asking for anything more
That someone comes to finish you off
{Chorus1:}
And one day a woman
Whose gaze brushes past you
Carries you on her shoulders
As she carries the world
And until she's exhausted
Covers your deepest wounds
Then one day a woman
Puts her hand in yours
To talk to you about another
Because she carries the world
And to the very end of herself
Proves that she loves you
With the love she showers
Day after day restores your confidence
With all her patience
Puts you back on your feet
Finding a possible future within yourself
And above all the desire to be
What she expects from you
{Chorus2:}
And one day a woman
Whose gaze brushes past you
Carries you on her shoulders
As she carries the world
And until she's exhausted
Covers your deepest wounds
Your deepest wounds
And one day a woman
Puts her hand in yours
To talk to you about another
Because she carries the world
And to the very end of herself
Proves that she loves you
With the love she showers
With the love she showers
And one day a woman
Whose gaze touches you
Carries up to her mouth
The forehead of a little world
And to the very end of herself
Gives everything she has
Every step every second
And to the end of the world
To the end of the world
{Spoken:}
To the end of the world
Because she carries the world
