Si Mes Larmes Tombent Lyrics in English Christophe Willem

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Si Mes Larmes Tombent by Christophe Willem from French to English.
The mask has fallen, the mirror's broken
Who can look at me without judging me
I don't give a f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck about people
Who reach out a hand then take it back
I only hear silence
I only see distance
Smile, feel myself, I only do it in memory
I want to run away where you can carry me
Help me write another story
Before it's too late
I won't be able to wait anymore
If my tears fall
If my tears fall
I'm a soldier they've disarmed
Now so alone, who can help me
I don't give a f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck about people
Who reach out a hand but don't understand
I only hear silence, I only feel their absence
Smile, feel myself, I only do it in memory
I want to run away where you can carry me
Help me write another story
Before it's too late
I won't be able to wait anymore
If my tears flow like pearls
Flow like my pain and fall fall fall
Like I'm falling
Flow like a rain under which I lose myself
Like in a dream
Smile, feel myself, I only do it in memory
I want to run away where you can carry me
Help me write another story
Before it's too late
But I won't be able to wait anymore
If my tears fall
If my tears fall
If my tears fall

SONG MEANING

Christophe Willem pulls off the emotional mask and smashes the mirror in Si Mes Larmes Tombent, inviting us into the raw backstage of a heart on the edge. The French pop star sings as a “disarmed soldier,” surrounded by people who offer help only to snatch it back, leaving him alone with silence and distance. Every verse piles up images of broken reflections, absent friends, and memories of happier days, while the chorus warns: “If my tears fall, I won’t be able to wait any longer.” The stakes feel dramatic yet relatable, because we have all felt that moment when one more tear could tip everything over.

Beneath the melancholy lies a stubborn spark of hope. Willem’s narrator dreams of escaping with someone who can “carry me away” and help him “write another story” before it is too late. The song becomes a plea for genuine empathy and a reminder that vulnerability is not weakness but the first step toward change. With its catchy melody, vivid metaphors, and heartfelt French lyrics, Si Mes Larmes Tombent turns personal struggle into a universal anthem about shedding façades, daring to ask for real support, and trusting that new chapters begin the moment we let our tears fall.
