"Everyone moves on, everything passes by, water flows, and the heart forgets" is an English equivalent of the French phrase Tout s'en va, tout passe, l'eau coule, et le coeur oublie.
Specifically, the masculine pronoun tout is "everybody, everyone, everything". The reflexive pronoun se* means "her/him/it/one-self". The partitive pronoun enliterally means "of it". The verb va means "(he/it/one/she) does go, goes, is going". The verb passe means "(he/it/one/she) does happen/pass, happens/passes, is happening/passing". The feminine singular definite article la and the masculine le mean "the". The feminine noun eau means "water". The conjunction et means "and". The masculine noun coeur means "heart". The verb oublie translates as "(he/it/one/she) does forget, forgets, is forgetting".
The pronunciation will be "too saw vah too pahss loh kool ey luh kuhr oo-blee" in French.
