As Tears Go By - Vanessa Paradis

It is the evening of the day,

I sit and watch the children play.

Smiling faces I can see

But not for me,

I sit and watch as tears go by.

My riches can’t buy everything,

I want to hear the children sing.

All I hear is the sound

Of rain falling on the ground,

I sit and watch as tears go by.

It is the evening of the day,

I sit and watch the children play.

Doing things I used to do They think are new,

I sit and watch as tears go by.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm …

È la sera del giorno,

Mi siedo e guardo i bambini giocare.

Riesco a vedere facce sorridenti

Ma non per me,

Mi siedo e guardo le lacrime scorrere.

Le mie ricchezze non possono comprare tutto,

Voglio sentire i bambini cantare.

Tutto quello che sento è il suono

Di pioggia che cade a terra,

Mi siedo e guardo le lacrime scorrere.

È la sera del giorno,

Mi siedo e guardo i bambini giocare.

Fare cose che facevo Pensano siano nuove,

Mi siedo e guardo le lacrime scorrere.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm …
