Tant De Choses Lyrics in English Zaho

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tant De Choses by Zaho from French to English.
There's so many things
We didn't say
So many things
We don't know how to say
So many things
We still have to live
So many things
But I don't know how to say
And to think we barely missed each other
Truth be told we do the best we can
You and me we're not gonna say goodbye
No, our tears would betray our eyes
I tell myself tomorrow I'll confess
I said nothing out of fear or politeness
Only the words we don't say hurt
And here I am, me and the weight of my sadness
Yet I'm hurting so far, so far from you
Are you hurting so far, so far from me
Yet I'm hurting so far, so far from you
Are you hurting so far, so far from me
There's so many things
We didn't say
So many things
We don't know how to say
So many things
We still have to live
So many things
But I don't know how to say
So many things
These photos I hang on the walls
Memories we were once close
Helpless facing blame and reproach
Might as well say I missed the boat
But besides that, are you okay?
Are you coming back?
Don't thank me, it's nothing
We create ties we cling to
Short of words, we undo them, it's ugly
Yet I'm hurting so far, so far from you
Are you hurting so far, so far from me
Yet I'm hurting so far, so far from you
Are you hurting so far, so far from me
There's so many things
We didn't say
So many things
We don't know how to say
So many things
We still have to live
So many things
But I don't know how to say
So many things
If only I'd said I love you
If only you knew my pain
But there're too many things I don't know how to say
If I'd held you back
If I'd told you don't leave
But there're too many things I don't know how to say
There's so many things
We didn't say
So many things
We don't know how to say
So many things
We still have to live
So many things
But I don't know how to say
So many things
Outro
So many things
We didn't say
We didn't say
We didn't say

SONG MEANING

Tant De Choses is Zaho’s bittersweet confession about all the words that got stuck in her throat. The Algerian-born singer paints the picture of two people who were so close to understanding each other, yet let silence stretch the distance. Every chorus circles back to the same haunting thought: there are countless things we never said, cannot say, or still hope to live together. With a catchy, mid-tempo groove, she juxtaposes lively rhythms with lyrics full of hesitation, regret, and heartache.

As the song unfolds, Zaho rewinds the tape of a relationship—flashing through photos on the wall, memories of shared laughter, then the chill of separation. She admits she held back out of fear or misplaced politeness and wonders if the other person hurts as deeply so far, so far away. The repeated refrain becomes both a lament and a lesson: unsaid words hurt the most. In the end, the track urges listeners to speak their truth before time turns chances into regrets.
