Pour La Vie

We left it was late June
We hugged, shook hands
One for all and all for one
And then each took their train
We were all so scared
We swore with our hands on our hearts
That we'd see each other before ten years
We met again and now
From time to time we invite each other
Even if we often avoid each other
We say of course I remember
But we remember less and less
It didn't make us bitter
We know we can't do anything about it

It's life, it's life,
It's life that changes us
And disturbs us
All our big ideas about everything
It's life, it's life,
It's life that decides
That gives us wrinkles
In the corners of our eyes and hearts
What's the point of going against
We waste our time
And when we look at our watches
Suddenly we understand
Some have had children
Others have said they're waiting
We all loved women
We all found each other charming
We all became someone
In our neighborhood or further
Of course we lost touch
But we don't call it lost
We called each other all names
We fell into each other's arms
We didn't dare say no
We said yes when we shouldn't have
It didn't stop us
From continuing to love each other

For life, for life
For life that changes us
And disturbs us
All our little ideas about everything
For life, for life,
For life that decides
That gives us wrinkles
In the corners of our eyes and hearts
No need to pretend
It's useless
Every passing day we learn
That we can play without being actors
What's the point of going against
It's useless
Every passing day we learn
That we all follow the same path
