Here is one of the saddest song's I've ever heard, I've learnt to play it recently. Another one by the great Zazie. It is about how unhappy you can feel when you can't seem to be really yourself in your life. I once translated the lyrics in english, so here goes :


If I was me
Neither the hills I’m climbing
Nor the snow storms that I feel coming
Would make me fear me.

If I was me,
Neither the pages to write
Nor finding the words to tell my fright
Would make me fear me.

I’m letting go of my hand
And letting go of me
And I am walking this land
But the wrong path leads me
My own self has gone away
As if I had become blind
But how can we find the way
To our true mind… ?

If I was me,
Neither my lonely body
Nor the man who is sleeping with me
Would make me fear me.
If I was me,
Neither the demons that I hide
Nor the dark flames that fly by my side
Would make me fear me.

I’m letting go of my hand
And letting go of me
And I am walking this land
But the wrong path leads me
My own self has gone away
As if I had become blind
But how can we find the way
To our true mind… ?


If I was me,
Neither my deepest feelings
Nor what I’ve done, the bad and good things
Would make me fear me.

All that I’ve done, the bad and good things,
Would make me happy.

Une autre chanson de Zazie, pas grand chose à dire à part que cette chanson est une des plus tristes que je connaisse et que j'ai récemment appris à la jouer au no-pia ! :3
