Here's a rough-and-ready English translation of the song "Quelqu'un ma dit" by Carla Bruni:

Someone told me our lives aren't worth much

They pass in a moment, like a dying rose

Someone told me time is a bastard, making an overcoat of our sorrows,

Someone told me

that you still loved me

Could it be true?

Someone told me destiny mocks us

it promises everything and gives us nothing

it seems that happiness is within our reach

so we hold out our hand and find ourselves mad

Someone told me

that you still loved me

Could it be true?

But who was it that told me you still loved me?

I don't recall, it was late at night

I can still hear the voice, but I can't see the face

"he loves you, it's a secret, don't tell him I told you"

you see, someone told me, someone really did tell me

that you still loved me

Could it be true?
