My son, try to understand me, I don't know how to get on with it. And then it's not easy to say. You must have noticed for a few years That she had lost her smile Although she kept her beauty You saw me leave more often Than being there to wake you up My son, you know in existence There are differences That you must now learn It's never black or white, but a different grey Like the reflections in blood We adored each other, then without understanding We forget what we promised And then one day, the child grew up My son, I speak to you like a man Because you are a man And I'm almost done Nothing is done by chance, I'm going somewhere Trying to make my life again I'll think of you often I'll see you from time to time And I'll know that you're growing up My son, try to understand me, I don't know how to get on with it And we never know how to talk I'm trying to explain to you that anything can happen That nothing human is eternal Even when feelings get mixed up And you'll learn that too When your son has grown up Thank you for watching!
