Cette vie

It's still really good
This earthly life
Watching the evening sink
Fade into the Seine
This life is even better
Since it crossed paths with yours
And you, you're not ordinary
As an animal
I fell in a minute
For those dirty blue eyes
This life is even better
Since it crossed paths with yours

Ah, there will be ups and downs
And if it's not the dolce vita
We'll make the best of it
Of this life
I already know it will pass
In the blink of an eye
As quickly as a snap of the fingers
From dust to dust

It's still a bit of a female dog
This earthly life
But we'll love it until the end
Until the next one
It's still worth it
This life crossed with yours

Ah, there will be ups and downs
And if it's not the Dolce vita
We'll make the best of it
This life
I already know it will pass
In the blink of an eye
As quickly as a snap of the fingers
From dust to dust

And it's so fragile
This subtle happiness
We'd like to keep it under glass
We'd suffocate it in its greenhouse
I'd like to freeze this perfect moment
Like the statues of Pompeii
Entwined for a thousand more lives
