More French scared

Here're the lyrics if that helps...

Dans une glace transparente
Un reflet ne reflétant rien
Lorsque je t'appelle
Tu ne réponds pas
Quand je suis arrivée
Tu n'étais déjà plus là
Je me suis écroulée en pleurant
C'était pas tellement ça
Qui m'avait chavirée
Mais pour la première fois tu me manquais

Quand j'étais avec toi
Que les jours étaient longs
Mais les nuits étaient trop courtes pour exprimer
La tendresse et le besoin
Que je ressentais parfois
De t'avoir auprès de moi te consoler

Que c'est bête de te parler
Quand t'es pas là pour m'écouter

Que de fois j'ai supplié
Le destin de m'accorder
Un sourire, une parole, une attention
Combien de fois j'eus échangé
L'univers très volontiers
Pour un seul de tes regards si invitants

J'ai bien dû m'en aller
Je ne pouvais pas céder
A la mélancolie m'envahissant
Mais sans avoir d'autre intention
Que de partir tout bêtement
Et de masquer mon désarroi en me cachant

In a transparent glass
A reflection reflecting nothing
When i call you
You do not answer
When I arrived
You weren't there anymore
I collapsed crying
It wasn't that much
Who had capsized me
But for the first time I missed you

When i was with you
That the days were long
But the nights were too short to express
Tenderness and need
That I sometimes felt
To have you with me console you

How stupid to talk to you
When you're not here to listen to me

How many times I begged
The fate to grant me
A smile, a word, an attention
How many times have I traded
The universe very gladly
For one of your so inviting looks

I had to go
I couldn't give in
To the melancholy invading me
But without having any other intention
Than go away stupidly
And hide my dismay by hiding me
