Three Hearts

What happens when three people care deeply for one another, but each in a different way, with different emotional needs?

Throughout my life, I had always been used to solving problems. Thinking ahead, analysing situations, exploring possibilities, and continuing to try until I found a solution.

So when I found myself in a situation involving three people, each with their own feelings and needs, I tried to approach it in exactly the same way.

I believed that with enough understanding, patience, and good intentions, there had to be a solution in which everyone could find their place.

But I discovered that emotions don’t work like practical problems.

You can think things through endlessly, try even harder, or do everything possible to consider everyone else’s feelings. When the heart becomes involved, things don’t always follow the logic of the mind.

And that was precisely what made it so difficult for me.

The harder I tried to make everyone happy and avoid losing anyone, the less attention I paid to what I needed myself.

Trois cœurs is about that conflict between the head and the heart.

About three people who were connected, but not all in the same way. And about my attempt to solve something, using the approach that had helped me throughout my life, that simply couldn’t be solved in the same way.

I thought I could keep three hearts together.

But I still had to learn that feelings cannot be repaired the way you solve a problem.



Lyrics

Read the complete song lyrics (original French version and English translation).

J’avais ouvert mon cœur
Au moment où j’en avais le plus besoin

I had opened my heart
When I needed it most

Je découvrais enfin
Ce que voulait dire être bien

I was finally discovering
What it meant to truly feel good

Et pourtant devant moi
La tendresse changeait de mains

And yet, right before my eyes
Tenderness was passing from one person to another

Je souriais
Je comprenais

I smiled
I understood

Pendant que quelque chose
Se brisait en silence en moi

While something inside me
Was silently breaking


Je voulais que personne ne manque de rien

I wanted no one to go without anything

Alors je donnais
Encore

So I kept giving
Again

Même quand c’était moi
Qui avais besoin qu’on reste

Even when I was the one
Who needed someone to stay


Trois cœurs
Trop d’amour pour si peu d’espace

Three hearts
Too much love for so little space

Trois cœurs
Qui se cherchaient sans trouver leur place

Three hearts
Searching for each other without finding where they belonged

Je voulais garder tout le monde
Sans demander qui me garderait

I wanted to keep everyone close
Without asking who would hold on to me

Trois cœurs

Three hearts

Et plus je nous tenais

And the harder I tried to hold us together

Plus je disparaissais

The more I disappeared


Je te mettais toujours devant
Et toi tu me le reprochais

I always put you first
And you reproached me for it

Tu disais
Qu’elle aussi méritait
Qu’on la regarde davantage

You said
That she also deserved
More attention

Elle revenait vers moi
Moi je retournais vers toi

She kept coming back to me
And I kept turning back to you

On essayait tous
De donner quelque chose

We were all trying
To give something

Mais jamais vraiment
Au bon endroit

But never quite
Where it was needed


Et chaque fois
Que quelqu’un souffrait

And every time
Someone was hurting

Je cherchais en moi
Ce que j’avais encore mal fait

I searched within myself
For what I had done wrong again

Comme si la douleur des autres

As if the pain of others

Était toujours
Ma responsabilité

Was always
My responsibility


Trois cœurs
Trop d’amour pour si peu d’espace

Three hearts
Too much love for so little space

Trois cœurs
Qui se cherchaient sans trouver leur place

Three hearts
Searching for each other without finding where they belonged

Je voulais garder tout le monde
Sans demander qui me garderait

I wanted to keep everyone close
Without asking who would hold on to me

Trois cœurs

Three hearts

Et plus je nous tenais

And the harder I tried to hold us together

Plus je disparaissais

The more I disappeared


J’ai voulu sauver trois cœurs

I wanted to save three hearts

Avec deux mains
Déjà fatiguées

With two hands
Already tired

J’ai voulu protéger
Comprendre
Pardonner
Réparer

I wanted to protect
Understand
Forgive
Repair

J’ai mis mes besoins
Tout au fond

I pushed my own needs
Deep down

Parce que perdre quelqu’un
Me faisait plus peur

Because losing someone
Frightened me more

Que me perdre moi

Than losing myself


Et quand tout est devenu trop fort

And when everything became too overwhelming

Je ne voulais plus réfléchir

I didn’t want to think anymore

Je voulais seulement

I only wanted

Que le bruit s’arrête

The noise to stop

Quelques secondes

For a few seconds

Juste le silence

Just silence


Je croyais qu’aimer assez fort
Empêcherait quelqu’un de tomber

I believed that loving someone enough
Could keep them from falling

Mais à force de retenir tout le monde

But by trying so hard to hold everyone together

Nous sommes tombés
Tous les trois

We all fell
All three of us


Trois cœurs
Trop d’amour pour si peu d’espace

Three hearts
Too much love for so little space

Trois cœurs
Et personne n’en est sorti intact

Three hearts
And no one came out unscathed

Je voulais garder tout le monde
Je ne voulais blesser personne

I wanted to keep everyone close
I didn’t want to hurt anyone

Trois cœurs

Three hearts

J’ai tellement essayé
De ne perdre aucun de vous

I tried so hard
Not to lose either of you

Que je me suis perdu

That I lost myself

Moi

Myself


Je voulais seulement
Que personne ne parte

I only wanted
No one to leave

Je voulais seulement
Que personne n’ait mal

I only wanted
No one to be hurt

Et quand tout s’est arrêté

And when everything came to a stop

Il restait trois cœurs

Three hearts remained

Trois blessures

Three wounds

Et moi

And me

Quelque part entre les deux

Somewhere between the other two
