Fragile Lyrics in English Soprano

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Fragile by Soprano from French to English.
She was so shy and so fragile
Introverted and so naive
In a class of thirty kids
Finding her place wasn't that easy
For her, making friends
Was almost impossible
You know kids
They can be mean to each other
Once they've found their target
It starts with a nickname
Then the bad jokes pile up
He rubs salt in the wounds of her insecurities
With so much hate
That she lives in fear
When she sees her schoolbag
To everyone's surprise
She does the unthinkable
She had that innocent look
That only waited to be loved
But life turned out differently
So fragile
All those words ended up breaking her
She who only wanted to be loved
She who only wanted to be loved
We live in the virtual era
With tutorials for mascara
Snapchat, Snapchat
Tell me who's the prettiest
For her
Being loved means being liked
So she practices in front of her mirror
Taking a selfie
Beauty filter
A few hearts on her photo
But mostly comments
Mockery, criticism
Insults, pervy emojis
All this gratuitous violence
Becomes unbearable for her
So she turns off her phone
And does the unthinkable
She had that innocent look
That only waited to be loved
But life turned out differently
So fragile
All those words ended up breaking her
She who only wanted to be loved
She who only wanted to be loved
That's why I need you to tell me about yourself
To share your dreams and your doubts with me
To know your dad will always be there
To pull the weeds off your path
No matter what the world says or thinks
You're the strongest and the prettiest in my eyes
Never let others put you down
Don't forget
That she had that innocent look
That only waited to be loved
But life turned out differently
So fragile
All those words ended up breaking her
She who only wanted to be loved
She who only wanted to be loved
She who only wanted to be loved

SONG MEANING

Fragile paints the heartbreaking journey of a shy, introverted girl whose only wish is to be loved. The lyrics open inside a bustling classroom where mean nicknames and cruel jokes quickly turn her into a target. Each word is like salt on an open wound, and the bullying follows her from school corridors to the glow of smartphone screens. Searching for approval, she tries to perfect the “right” selfie, only to be met with mocking comments and hateful emojis. The relentless pressure of face-to-face teasing and online harassment chips away at her self-worth until, feeling cornered, she makes a tragic decision.

In the final verses, the narrator—speaking as a devoted father—breaks through the darkness with a pledge of unconditional support. His message turns the song into a plea for empathy and a reminder of the power of kind words. Fragile is both a cautionary tale about the devastating impact of bullying and social-media cruelty, and a call to uplift those who feel unseen. Its core lesson is simple yet urgent: everyone deserves love and protection, especially the most delicate among us.
