Original text with translation
Michel Berger
Elle a ses illusions qui prennent l’eau
Et ses belles espérances qui ont bon dos
On rit de sa présence, de son silence
Elle a des paysages et des bateaux
Bien cachés dans sa tête
Qui lui tiennent chaud
Mais qui s’en vont sans bruit
Quand elle sourit
Maria Carmencita a ses mots d’amour au bout des doigts
Son fils chante du rock’n’roll mais elle ne l’entend pas
Maria Carmencita, tu aurais de l’amour plein la voix
Mais dans ce monde de la parole
Il n’y a pas de place pour toi
Comme si tu n’existais pas
Pas parler, pas vraiment vivre
Pas reconnaître les bruits qu’on aime
Pas chanter, pas vraiment suivre
Pas vraiment partager sa vie
Elle danse sans son silence, quand elle s’ennuie
Elle vit l’indifférence et elle l’oublie
Quand elle croise un visage qui lui sourit
Maria Carmencita a ses mots d’amour au bout des doigts
Son fils chante du rock’n’roll mais elle ne l’entend pas
Maria Carmencita, tu aurais de l’amour plein la voix
Mais dans ce monde de la parole
Il n’y a pas de place pour toi
Ce sont les autres qui ne t'écoutent pas
She's got her illusions taking on water
And his beautiful hopes that have good backs
We laugh at his presence, his silence
She has landscapes and boats
Well hidden in his head
that keep him warm
But who go away without a sound
When she smiles
Maria Carmencita has her words of love at her fingertips
Her son sings rock'n'roll but she can't hear him
Maria Carmencita, you would have love in your voice
But in this world of speech
There's no place for you
Like you don't exist
Not speak, not really live
Not recognizing the sounds we like
Not singing, not really following
Not really sharing his life
She dances without her silence, when she's bored
She lives the indifference and she forgets it
When she meets a face that smiles at her
Maria Carmencita has her words of love at her fingertips
Her son sings rock'n'roll but she can't hear him
Maria Carmencita, you would have love in your voice
But in this world of speech
There's no place for you
It's the others who don't listen to you
