La vie, c'est quoi? [English translation]

What is the music?

It's sound that perfumes

What is emotion?

It's the soul that lights up

What is a compliment?

An invisible kiss

And nostalgia? The edible past

What is carelessness?

It's time we sow

What's the good time?

It's your hand in mine

What is enthusiasm?

It's dreams that militate

And benevolence?

Angels who invite themselves

And what is hope?

Happiness waiting

And a rainbow?

A living monument

What is growing?

It's making first times

And what is childhood?

Tenderness in pajamas

But tell dad, what is life?

Little, you see

Life is a little bit of all that but most of all it's you

It's you

What is remorse?

It's a ghost who loiter

And the routine?

The cravings that go wrong

What is the essential?

It is always to believe

And a memory?

A drawing on the memory

What's a smile?

It's wind in the sails

And poetry?

A landing net with stars

What is indifference?

It's life without colors

And what is racism?

An infirmity of the heart

What is friendship?

It's a treasure island

And truancy?

A croak-paw at Pythagoras

What is wisdom?

It's Tin-Tin in Tibet

What is happiness?

It's now or never

But tell dad, what is life?

Little, you see

Life is a little bit of all that but most of all it's you

It's you

In your stories,

In your delusions,

In the fanfares of your giggles

Life is there, life is there

In our cupboard

In hoping to see you growing old

Life is there, life is there
