Rien Qu'une Seule Larme

[shavonfan]

I think this is a beautifully sung song, but I have no idea what it is about. Can someone please not only translate the song for me, but also explain it's meaning?

Here's a translation:
Plus a Single Tear

Even if of you, I have no more than a friend
Even if I fall asleep in the sheets without night
Even if I feel you always ready
For the good times of the past
I want to remain alone

Even if time settles my doubts
In looking to make me change course
Since the love for him, is no more
Than poorly held promises
I want to remain alone beside myself

Plus a single tear
To battle against you
Plus a single tear
To cry when you aren't there
You will see in my eyes
Only a fire that it is necessary to fear
When there are no more tears to extinguish it

I know that it is necessary for me to learn to count until one
But I hope one day to be able to count on someone
Who will give me the desire
Of forgetting that you lied to me
For no longer to be alone beside myself

Plus a single tear
To battle against you
Plus a single tear
To cry when you are not there
You will see in my eyes
Only the fire that it is necessary to fear
When there are no more tears to extinguish it

Verse 1: It's a yearning to be a alone even if the person she's talking about is still a friend and it doesn't quite seem complete without the person

Verse 2: Still wants to remain alone because of broken promises even if the doubts are no longer there and she changes her ways because she doesn't love him anymore

Chorus:
She has a single tear to battle her feelings about whoever she's talking about and a single tear to cry when that person is not there. She has a fire inside (deep emotions) about what has happened to that that person should fear when she is done crying.

Verse 3: this is a yearning to find someone as the person she is talking about betrayed her trust, so she will not be alone.

I actually think this song is about what happened between Lara and Rick Allison.

Wow! Thank you, Leona! It sometimes drives me absolutly crazy to not know what a song is saying! This is a remarkable song.

Hey, pick up a French/English dictionary at Barnes & Noble or Borders, it will help you with French.

Okay, Shavon, will do! Meantime, thanks again, Leona, for helping me understand the meaning of this song.
