Aimer la vie [English translation]

Heaven lacks no charm

But I prefer

The pleasures, the joys, the tears

Of our Earth

Good wine, shining eyes

Pretty women...

Life is more bubbly

Than champagne!

Up there you must succumb to temptation,

Mr. Devil,

But this old land for men

It's terrific

And I give up immortality

And its silence

For a measly summer day

Of vacation

You're allowed

To love life and to love love

To love the night, to love the day

And to think that's it's too short

Way too short!

I want

To make up for lost time

To live to the max, to live for

Loving life, loving love

Life is the eternal miracle

The only chance

Everyday, a great show

That starts again

I applaud, I say "Bravo!"

To the great artist

Who draws the picture

Where you exist

...Good wine, shining eyes

Pretty women...

Life is more bubbly

Than champagne!

You're allowed

To love life and to love love

To love the night, to love the day

And to think that's it's too short

Way too short!

I want

To make up for lost time

To live to the max, to live for

Loving life, loving love

You're allowed

To love life and to love love

To love the night, to love the day

And to think that's it's too short

Way too short!

I want...
