	Je quitte. Tu restes au port. Ton regard me déchire Vagues! Emporte mon coeur Et donne le lui pour un dernier sourire. Maman, ne pleure pas Je reviendrais pour toi Tes larmes, une rivière Que je naviguerai vers toi Les arbres sages de mon enfance Qui racontaient les secrets du passé Remplacés par les boîtes de ciment Sourds et froids Je rêve, et j’écoute et je trouve Le courage que tu me donne A travers ce grand océan qui nous sépare La solitude, mon abri En face de tous ces gens qui me bousculent Dans cette ville froide D’étrangers qui me jugent. Le temps coule lentement Je m’adapte doucement Jusqu’au jour où Je t’emmènerai Ma chère maman, Près de moi English Translation: I leave as you stand at the port The look in your eyes is tearing me apart Oh waves, take my heart and give it to her for one last smile Mom, please don’t cry I will come back for you Your tears, the river That I will navigate back to you The wise trees of my childhood That told me secrets of the past Are now replaced by cement boxes Deaf and cold I dream, I listen and I find The courage that you send to me Across this big ocean That separates us Solitude, my shelter From the crowds of prying people In this cold city of strangers that judge me Time flows by slowly I persevere and adapt Until the time comes When I will bring you, Close to me, my dear mom.
