Ô Toi! La Vie

Oh you! Life
That I carry while suffering
Like one carries a child
Give me love and money
My life
On impenetrable paths
Make it so from a grain of sand
I become a giant

Oh you! Life
Of which I know nothing
That escapes between my hands
I fear your tomorrows
My life
I'm afraid of your youth
One morning disappear
Leaving me unsatisfied
You know life
I didn't seek you
It's you who gave yourself
Like a girl in need of love
I can now
Wallow in your arms
Make a fire of your joys
And love with you

Life
To hold you tight
And warm my body
And keep you for a long time
I am
A child of the earth
A lonely passerby
With hands reaching out to you
Don't abandon me
You know, I believe in you
In you
Life
