Nana Mouskouri – Je ne suis pas Lisa (English translation)

(Verse 1)
I’m not Lisa, no—that’s not me.
She’s the one who left you, but I’m here, you see.

(Verse 2)
Look in my eyes—hers were blue, you say,
But I make summer from the light of today.

(Verse 3)
The sun still races, bees still dance in flight,
Do you think your whole world ended with her that night?

(Verse 4)
The Atlantic still breathes, in and out, ebb and flow,
And Christmas is coming, even through the snow.
So sing with my voice, let life begin anew,
Live—because your Lisa… she’s not real, it’s true.

(Chorus)
I’m not Lisa, no—that’s not my name.
She’s the one who walked away, but I’m here all the same.
Look in my eyes—mine are not the blue you knew,
I make my own summer, my own sky, my own view.

(Outro)
I’m not Lisa…
My name is Nana.
