L'envie

Give me darkness then light
Give me hunger thirst then a feast
Take away what is vain and secondary
So I can find the value of life at last

Give me pain so I can love to sleep
Give me cold so I can love the flame
To love my land give me exile
And lock me up for a year to dream of women

I've been given too much before the desire
I forgot dreams and thank yous
All those things that had a price
That create the desire to live and desire
And pleasure too
Give me the desire
The desire to desire
Light up my life

Give me hatred so I can love love
Solitude too so I can love people
To love silence make speeches to me
And touch misery to respect money

So I can love being healthy, overcome illness
Give me night so I can love the day
Give me day so I can love the night
So I can love today and forget always

I've been given too much before the desire
I forgot dreams and thank yous
All those things that had a price
That create the desire to live and desire
And pleasure too
Give me the desire
The desire to desire
Relight my life

I've been given too much before the desire
I forgot dreams and thank yous
All those things that had a price
That create the desire to live and desire
And pleasure too
Give me the desire
The desire to desire
Relight my life
