    🎶Lyrics 🎶
    Listen to me, there’s someone that I could be
    Listen to me, is there no one who believes
    In this brown-eyed girl and her stupid dreams
    Spent all night writing lines that won’t ever be seen
    I know it’s not a lot, but it’s all I’ve got
    Stark and cold, to the bone, but it’s all my own
    Something born from the noise and from the silence
    What can I say
    If I’m not great, then I won’t do
    What can I say
    So that I don’t hate me too
    All the things that I wish I could say, if I just had the words
    Oh the things that I wish I could say, if they’d ever be heard
    I know it’s not that much, but it’s all I’ve got
    Might have gone off the lines
    Might not rhyme, but it’s done
    Saw me cry and thought I’d just give up, well tough
    I know I’m nothing but I’ll give all I’ve got
    And when everyone leaves, all that’s left is my dream
    It’s not lost in the noise, or in the silence
    Stay with me please
    Stay with me for a little while
    I’m sorry that you couldn’t save me this time
    If you loved me again it won’t mend what’s breaking my heart
    If it’s the end, then my friend, don’t forget, you were my favourite part
    I know it’s not enough, but it’s all I’ve got
    Stark and cold, to the bone
    Ashamed and alone
    In the dark, in the stars
    In the calm and the storm
    This love is mine, not yours
    And my lines and my words
    Will be seen, will be heard
    And this dream, it won’t burn
    You’ll remember this brown eyed girl

    Elena as a bilingual Canadian, I really have to give you high praise for this arrangement. Thank you for avoiding the pitfall of trying to make the direct translation work musically. You reworked the lyrics to make a great piece. Now! Your voice is lovely, so pure, and licks/runs would detract from hearing the quality of your voice. Well done.

    What a beautiful English translation with your own words, emotions, grace and touch to the song. I love it. The video is beautiful. Such a lovely setting. I enjoyed the views of the beautiful trees and the lake. Such a passionate accompaniment by the pianist.

    What a beautiful angelic voice! I just searched in youtube trying to look for a violin cover of this song but randomly found you out! Wow such a brilliant cover and from now on I will listen to your English cover instead! The only one thing made me feel a bit regretted is that you should have kept the word “voilà” in chorus because it’s the highlight of the song which made it special. Anyway, love your voice from Vietnam ❤❤

    There are other great singers who translate it truly and beautifully.
