Le jour s'est levé

If I had to live for the sake of living
If I had to live for the sake of loving
That's what I would have wanted
When my glass heart gets drunk
My hands lose themselves in freedom
And what I would have wanted
Is that the world that is fighting
Leaves me in peace on my cloud
And that the flood of its battles
Could not reach my face
This morning, the day broke
And I didn't know it

Wanting to walk without understanding
You'll soon be tired
Because I no longer believe in it
Living life without defending yourself
And being able to say without dreaming
What we would have wanted
That everyone who is fighting
Joins me on my cloud
And that all the people who see me
Regain a little of their courage
This morning, the day broke
And I didn't see it
