Original lyrics
Elle avance
Pourquoi depuis sa tendre enfance
Ils se moquent de son apparence
Leurs yeux percent comme des couteaux
Elle porte plus d'une marque sur sa peau
Que savent-ils de son silence
De l'envie d'une autre existence
Pourquoi certains ont la chance
De vivre riche en d'autres circonstances
Elle rêve
Pour mieux s'en sortir
Elle apprend à guérir
Le reste importe peu
Elle avance en silence
Derrière son sourire
Je vois des larmes
Je vois son coeur et son âme
Le temps n'efface pas le mal
Mais elle avance en silence
Pour ne plus jamais ressentir
Un autre soupir,
Et ferme les yeux et s'endort
Le temps n'efface pas son sort
Mais elle avance en silence
Pourquoi tout semble manquer
Pourquoi tout semble la condamner
Pourquoi eux vivent dans les beaux quartiers
Sans voir ce qu'elle a à donner
À chacune a son histoire
La sienne est vide mais elle y croit encore
Trop tard on finit par comprendre
Qu'avec le temps la douleur s'évapore
Elle rêve
Pour mieux s'en sortir
Elle apprend à guérir
Le reste importe peu
Elle avance en silence
Derrière son sourire
Je vois des larmes
Je vois son coeur et son âme
Le temps n'efface pas le mal
Mais elle avance en silence
Pour ne plus jamais ressentir
Un autre soupir
Et ferme les yeux et s'endort
Le temps n'efface pas son sort
Mais elle avance en silence

Translation
She Walks On
Why, ever since her earliest childhood,
Do they make fun of the way she looks?
Their eyes cut into her like knives
She wears more than one scar on her skin
What do they know of her silence,
Of her longing for a different existence?
Why do some people have the chance
Of living, rich, in different circumstances?
She dreams
To manage to get through it
Se learns to heal
The rest doesn't really matter
She walks on in silence
Behind her smile,
I see tears
I see her heart and her soul
Time doesn't erase the wrongs
But she walks on in silence
So she never has to feel again,
Another sigh,
Then she closes her eyes and falls asleep
Time doesn't erase her fate
But she walks on in silence
Why does she seem to lack everything?
Why does everything seem to condemn her?
Why do they live in the nice parts of town
Without seeing what she has to give?
Everyone has his own story,
Hers is empty, but she still believes in it
Too late, we finally understand
That with time, the pain fades away
She dreams
To manage to get through it
Se learns to heal
The rest doesn't really matter
She walks on in silence
Behind her smile,
I see tears
I see her heart and her soul
Time doesn't erase the wrongs
But she walks on in silence
So she never has to feel again,
Another sigh,
Then she closes her eyes and falls asleep
Time doesn't erase her fate
But she walks on in silence
