	Version française – TRISTESSE – Marco Valdo M.I. – 2013
SADNESS	TRISTESSE

Whoever wants to be sad	Celui qui veut être triste,
will perhaps read me,	Me lira peut-être
and he will think between the lines:	Et il pensera entre les lignes :

Yes, this one too	Oui, il a aussi été triste
has been sad,	Cet homme
but can his sadness heal mine?	Mais sa tristesse peut-elle guérir la mienne ?

I won't ask you about the reasons	Je ne veux pas t'interroger sur les causes
for your sadness, you people, you people,	De ta tristesse, toi l'homme, toi l'homme,
you people who live in better times,	Toi l'homme des temps meilleurs
you people who live in better times.	Toi l'homme des temps meilleurs.

My story will tell you,	La mienne te dira l'histoire
the years and dates of my sadness.	Des annales de mes tristesses.
