I went to a store looking for something to buy
But they only sold paintings of the same sad guy
No, wait! This store sells mirrors!
See what I did there?
Une aube affaiblie
Verse par les champs
La mélancolie
Des soleils couchants.
La mélancolie
Berce de doux chants
Mon coeur qui s'oublie
Aux soleils couchants.
Et d'étranges rêves,
Comme des soleils
Couchants sur les grèves,
Fantômes vermeils,
Défilent sans trêves,
Défilent, pareils
A des grands soleils
Couchants sur les grèves.
“What have you become?”
“I am what you made me.”
Oh, mammy... Oh, mammy, mammy blue...
Oh, mammy blue...
Oh, mammy... Oh, mammy, mammy blue...
Oh, mammy blue...
I may be your forgotten son
who wandered off at twenty-one.
It's sad to find myself at home
without you.
If I could only hold your hand
and say I'm sorry, yes I am,
I'm sure you'll really understand,
oh, mammy.
Don't promise when you're happy, don't reply when you're angry, and don't decide when you're sad.
No matter what you do or say, there's nothing you can do to make people understand you.
