Who Knows?

Click to see the original lyrics (French)

Who knows? Maybe I don't have a head,

Just a tiny hole, from which

I sometimes see the stars.

Who knows? Maybe I don't have a head,

But a tiny breach in a wall,

From which comes rumours of people.

Who knows? Maybe I don't have a heart,

Just a small motor without heat

That sings its song in minor.

Who knows? Maybe I don't have a heart,

Just a tiny noise that frightens me at night,

In the silence between the hours.

If I had just one half of a head,

I would hear your cries for help.

This one half would suffice me to know what wounded you.

And if I had just one half of a heart.

I would see your dark circles in the morning.

This one half would suffice me to understand the pain that I do to you

Who knows? Maybe I don't have a soul,

Just a tiny flame, an echo of a star,

Dead for millions of years.

Who knows? Maybe I don't have a soul, no, not even a flame,

Just a shadow, an emptiness, a small dark room,

The crevice between two blades.

If I had just one half of a soul,

I could fly much higher.

I would see your empty eyes, I would know what to do.

If I had just a dust of soul,

I wouldn't ever break everything.

But I don't know how to love you and I make you cry

Who knows? Maybe I don't have a head,

But a tiny hole from which
