En rire de peur d'être obligée d'en pleurer

Jane Birkin Jane Birkin

Laugh about it for fear of having to cry

Flashbacks to our past happiness
It's better to laugh about it for fear of being forced to cry
Long shots that we find overplayed
Slow motion that we wish we could see in fast motion

How many scenes haven't we played?
It's better to laugh about it for fear of being forced to cry
A vibration at the tip of a finger
Two guitars that never tuned

Flashbacks to our past happiness
It's better to laugh about it for fear of being forced to cry
A breakup like that of a necklace
A culture that shines less than the fake, that's the real thing

It's better to laugh about it for fear of being forced to cry
Black and white and we remain silent
Seeing them again, it's really enough to kill you
