Vivre Ou Survivre

Daniel Balavoine Daniel Balavoine

Live or Survive

Morning bell rings
Cry sorrow
And rewinds the wet film
Of the past in the eyes

Short too short
Our love
And the calls for help
Know that a deaf person doesn't hear what he wants

And yet he wants to live
Or survive
Without poems
Without hurting all those who love him
Happy
Unhappy
Living alone or even together

But living forever
Without speeches
Without velvet
Without the useless phrases
Of an old photo novel

Withered flowers die
Black and white
Only colors
Of a future that is already the past for us

And yet we must live
Or survive
Without poems
Without hurting those who love us
Being happy
Unhappy
Living alone or even together

And yet we must live
Or survive
Without poems
Without hurting those who love us
Being happy
Unhappy
Living alone or even together

But living in silence
Thinking about the sufferings
Of the earth and telling ourselves
That we are not the unhappiest

When in love
Everything collapses
All the misery of a world
Is nothing compared to a goodbye

And yet I want to live
Or survive
Without poems
Without hurting all those I love
Being happy
Unhappy
Living alone or even together

Oh oh
Live or survive
Alone or even together
Ooohh...
