Le Jardin Des Larmes Lyrics in English Zaz , Till Lindemann

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Jardin Des Larmes by Zaz from French to English.
Every evening, I enter with you
In this little garden of tears
Every night, I place my heart
In your chest of flowers
Yesterday, your kiss was of honey
But the fruits taste like salt
Hello sadness, every day
I feel so lonely with you
I hate you, my love
yes, your punishment is me
I am sad all day
From early morning until evening
Not a nightingale to sing
And all because of me
Ma, la-la-la, la-la-la
The trees cry with me
La, la-la-la, la-la-la
Our souls cry softly
Every evening, I enter with you
In this little garden of tears
Every night, I place my heart
In your chest of flowers
Yesterday, your kiss was of honey
But the fruits taste like salt
It's so calm in the garden of tears
When nightingales yearn under the stars
It's so calm in the garden of tears
I enter my little kingdom of tears
In your little kingdom of tears
Every night, I cry
It's good for the flowers
As well as for my poor heart
Ma, la-la-la, la-la-la
The trees cry with me
La, la-la-la, la-la-la
Our souls cry softly
Every evening, I enter with you
In this little garden of tears
Every night, I place my heart
In your chest of flowers
Yesterday, your kiss was of honey
But the fruits taste like salt
Yesterday, your kiss was of honey
Now, you smile from the sky
It's so calm in the garden of tears

SONG MEANING

Step into the twilight garden that Zaz and Till Lindemann paint: a secret patch of night where flowers bloom on heartache. Each evening the singer lays her heart among petals, kisses taste first of honey then salt, and even the trees and nightingales join the quiet sobbing. The mix of French and German sounds like two voices echoing in a misty greenhouse, lush, intimate, and a little haunted.

Behind the poetic images lies a story of love changed by loss. The garden is really the narrator's grief; tears fall like rain, nourishing the blossoms as memories keep the departed lover alive. By turning sorrow into fertile soil, the song suggests that pain can feed beauty and growth, and that singing through sadness is its own quiet act of hope.
