Être ou ne pas naître
Jane Birkin
To be or not to be born
What is better to be or not to be born?
Question and answer: It's not clear
What comes after non-being?
Is it nothingness when everything stops?
Or does love perhaps continue between two beings?
With this difficulty of being
Perhaps it would have been better
Never to be born
You, you who receive me seven out of seven
Don't you see that I'm not well in my head
What is better to be or not to be born?

Question and answer: It's not clear
You, my love, you who have letters
Do you prefer Macbeth or Hamlet?
I know, I know, I finally got to know you
With this difficulty of being
Perhaps it would have been better
Never to be born
You, you who receive me seven out of seven
Don't you see that I'm not well in my head
What is better to be or not to be born?
