Francis [English translation]

Francis, you have so many things to say

But it's all kept locked up inside

And when you no longer know what to say

You start to cry

But the public doesn't see

You incite them to dream while you watch

Francis, the words stay stuck in your throat in front of a girl who asks

Only to be loved

You, you don't know how to handle it

Your throat tightens up, your heart beats with conviction

While your eyes are on her

But I, I won't forget you and I count on you

To come and help

Those who feel for you, what you write in these songs for her

Francis, I'm leaving soon and I'm thinking of you

While my fingers on the piano play for you all that I owe you

And remind you that you can have the world at your feet

If you're not discouraged by the ones who left you behind

And I, I won't forget you and I count on you

To come and help

Those who feel for you, what you write in these songs for her

But I, I won't forget you and I count on you

To come and help

Those who feel for you, what you write in these songs for her
