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

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.
