Shiranakatta

Je ne savais pas, je ne savais pas

Je ne savais pas, je ne savais pas

Pourquoi tu ne m'a pas dit, que tu souffrais?

Je serais venu vite vers toi

Mais, je ne savais pas, je ne savais pas

Je ne savais pas

Tremblant de peur d'avoir besoin de toi

Tremblant de peur de te desirer

Je ne savais pas, je ne savais pas

Je ne savais pas, je ne savais pas

Pourquoi tu ne m'a pas dit, que tu n'avais desirer?

J'aurais couru vers toi

Mais, je ne savais pas, je ne savais pas

Je ne savais pas

I didn't know, I didn't know

I didn't know, I didn't know

Why didn't you tell me you were in pain?

I would have come to you so quickly

But I didn't know, I didn't know

I didn't know

Feeling cold from fear of needing you

Feeling faint from fear of wanting you

But I didn't know, I didn't know

Didn't know, I didn't know

Why didn't you tell me you missed me too?

I would have come to you so quickly

But I didn't know, I didn't know

I didn't know
