Story Behind The Song

Lullaby dedicated to Joel's twin sister Annie, gone at age of 2 days. Since then, she remains around as his caring guardian Angel. It was a healing experience for Joel to write the lyrics and a very emotional moment to record his voice. Video here : https://youtu.be/lFHK2QTdJMs

Lyrics

(english below)
C1/
La vie est si belle mais cruelle
Elle est parfois juste juste injuste
Tu n'es pas là

C2/
De peine on est nés, toi
Tu n'as pas pleuré
Ma jumelle, ma moitié
On m'a volé

Prechorus/
Mais pourquoi? Pourquoi? Pourquoi toi?
Mais pourquoi? Pourquoi? Pourquoi toi?
Mais pourquoi? Pourquoi? Pourquoi pas moi?
Ça n'devait pas se passer comme ça
Je n'comprends pas
Je manque de toi

Refrain/
Oh petite Annie
Je ferme les yeux
Tu souris
Oh petite Annie
Tu veilles sur ma vie

C3/
Je t'ai tant cherchée, j'ai failli
Failli oublier que je vis pour deux
Pour toi et moi

C4/
Tel un loup esseulé
Je voulais hurler
Ma sœur, mon ange
J'ai capitulé

Prechorus/
Dans mon cœur j'te sens avec moi
Tu es ma force, ma puissance à moi
J'te promets de vivre vieux et heureux
Je sais bien que c'est ce que tu veux
Ne t'en fais pas
Petite Annie

Refrain/
Oh petite Annie
Je ferme les yeux
Je souris
Oh petite Annie
Tu veilles sur ma vie

(quick english translation)

Life is beautiful but cruel
Sometimes fair or just unfair
You are not here
Barely we were born, but you, you never cried
My twin, my half, taken away

Prechorus/
Somebody tell me, tell me, tell me
Somebody why me, why me, why me
That's not how it was supposed to be
I still don't get it
I miss you so

Chorus/
Oh little Annie, when I close my eyes, you smile at me
Oh little Annie, You watch over my life

Rentless seeking you, I almost forgot
I need to live for two
For me and you

Gazing at the moon, crying as lonely
As a wolf would, my Sister Angel
I surrendered

In my heart I feel you with me
You're my strength, my fuel to live
I swear I'll go old happy
I know it's what you want from me
Don't worry
Little Annie

Chorus/
Oh little Annie, when I close my eyes, you smile at me
Oh little Annie, You watch over my life
