Ca Fait Mal Lyrics in English by Sofia Essaidi
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ca Fait Mal by Sofia Essaidi from French to English.
Le ciel s'efface devant soi
The sky fades before us
La terre se dérobe en silence
The earth slips away in silence
La vie devient ce vide immense
Life becomes this immense void
Où la mort prend alors tous ses droits
Where death then claims all its rights
J'ai cette image qui me déchire
I have this image that tears me apart
D'un monde où l'amour nous a trahis
Of a world where love has betrayed us
Qui ne nous a donné que le pire
Which has given us only the worst
Sans personne à qui se retenir
With nobody to hold onto
Retenir
Hold onto
Ca fait mal, mal
It hurts, hurts
On n'en guérit pas
We don't heal from it
Ca fait mal, mal
It hurts, hurts
On n'imagine pas
We can't imagine
Tellement mal à l'être
So much pain for oneself
Tellement mal à l'autre
So much pain for the other
Tout ce mal
All this pain
Ca fait mal, mal
It hurts, hurts
Mal
Pain
A quoi servent ces peines que l'on traîne
What's the point of these sorrows we drag along
Et l'espérance et le chemin se perd
And hope and the path are lost
Quand elle joue à mettre les doutes en scène
When it plays at staging doubts
Si tout s'achève
If everything ends
Et nous laisse à terre
And leaves us on the ground
A même en oublier que je t'aime
To even forget that I love you
On ne garde pas la vie en prison
We don't keep life in prison
Et quand l'incertitude tremble à peine
And when uncertainty barely trembles
La passion a perdu la raison
Passion has lost its mind
La raison
Reason
Ca fait mal, mal
It hurts, hurts
On n'en guérit pas
We don't heal from it
Ca fait mal, mal
It hurts, hurts
On n'imagine pas
We can't imagine
Tellement mal à l'être
So much pain for oneself
Tellement mal à l'autre
So much pain for the other
Tout ce mal
All this pain
Ca fait mal, mal
It hurts, hurts
On ne s'en sort pas
We don't get out of it
Ca fait mal, mal
It hurts, hurts
On ne s'en remet pas
We don't recover from it
Tellement mal pour rien
So much pain for nothing
Et de mal pourtant
And yet so much pain
Tout ce mal
All this pain
Ca fait mal, mal
It hurts, hurts
Ca fait mal
It hurts

Did you like this lyrics translation?
dérobe — slips away / is stolen
Dérobe comes from the verb se dérober, which means to slip away, to steal away, or to evade. While it can literally mean to steal, in this context, it conveys a sense of something disappearing or being taken away subtly and unexpectedly.
In the song, the lyric "La terre se dérobe en silence" (The earth slips away in silence) paints a vivid and dramatic picture of instability and loss. It's a more evocative and less common word than simple verbs for 'disappear', making it quite memorable.
