C'est trop tard pour verser des larmes
It's too late to shed tears
Maintenant qu'ils ne sont plus là
Now that they're gone
C'est trop tard, retenez vos larmes
It's too late, hold back your tears
Trop tard, ils ne les verront pas
Too late, they won't see them
Car c'est du temps de leur vivant
Because it's time during their lifetime
Qu'il faut aimer ceux que l'on aime
That you have to love those you love
Car c'est du temps de leur vivant
Because it's time during their lifetime
Qu'il faut donner à ceux qu'on aime
That you have to give to those you love
Ils sont couchés dessous la terre
They are lying under the earth
Dans leurs maisons froides et nues
In their cold, bare homes
Où n'entrera plus la lumière
Where the light will no longer enter
Où plus rien ne pénètre plus
Where nothing penetrates anymore
Que feront-ils de tant de fleurs
What will they do with so many flowers
Maintenant qu'ils ne sont plus là?
Now that they're gone?
Que feront-ils de tant de fleurs
What will they do with so many flowers
De tant de fleurs à la fois?
So many flowers at once?
Alliez-vous leur porter des roses
Were you going to bring them roses
Du temps qu'ils étaient encore là?
How long they were still there?
Alliez-vous leur porter des roses
Were you going to bring them roses
Ils auraient préféré, je crois
They would have preferred, I think
Que vous sachiez dire je t'aime
May you know how to say I love you
Que vous leur disiez plus souvent
That you tell them more often
Ils auraient voulu qu'on les aime
They would have liked to be loved
Du temps, du temps de leur vivant
Time, time while they are alive
Les voilà comme des statues
Here they are like statues
Dans le froid jardin du silence
In the cold garden of silence
Où les oiseaux ne chantent plus
Where the birds no longer sing
Où plus rien n'a plus d'importance
Where nothing matters anymore
Plus jamais ne verront la mer
Never again will see the sea
Plus jamais le soir qui se penche
Never again the evening that bends over
Les grandes forêts en hiver
Large forests in winter
L'automne rousse dans les branches
Red autumn in the branches
Mais nous n'avons que des regrets
But we have nothing but regrets
Mais nous n'avons que des remords
But we have nothing but remorse
Mais ils ne le sauront jamais
But they will never know
Ils n'entendent plus, c'est trop tard
They can't hear anymore, it's too late
Trop tard, trop tard
Too late, too late
