Ainsi valse la vie [English translation]

[Verse 1]

I was a father, a husband, a loved man

Never a winter in my life, only summers

A car, an education and a career

A sidewalk named after me, I was fulfilled

I don’t want your sandwich

Much less your pity

You know, some time back, I was rich, huh

I was powerful, I used to shine bright

I’m not shouting, I’m explaining to you

It would be wise of you to listen to me

You can find yourself at the zenith and on the pavement the following day

[Refrain]

Such is life

Such is life

Such is life

Life

[Couplet 2]

I was the one who traveled overseas in July

The one who celebrated Christmas having lots of people around

Every morning, the smile of my kids

A good coffee, my newspaper and my croissants

Hey, my fat baker

Have you forgotten me already?

I was the one who would leave you money

How about giving it back to me?

I irritated you like I irritate everyone, you all pretend, you all know who I am

I haven’t changed, I just moved out and have nothing more to give my little girl to eat

I see myself in your little lives

Ah, how I loved my little life

I get drunk, you avoid me

I stink, that’s easy to say

I don’t want your sandwich, damn it, it won’t make me forget

That I saw myself at the zenith and on the pavement the following day

[Refrain]

Such is life

Such is life

Such is life

Life

[Bridge]

I miss my wife

Memories of us haunt me

I’m famished, oh

When am I going home?

All this, it’s my fault, I know

I’m angry with others but I’m the one who messed up

I betrayed my colleague to have his position

Lied to my kids over nothing, like a coward

I cheated on my wife, had domestic disputes

All hell broke loose when she asked me for details

So convinced that everything belonged to me

The bailiff warned me but I was too stubborn

Life gave me something priceless but I spat on it, and she took it back

[Outro]

Such is life

Such is my life

My life

Such is my life

Such is my life

Such is my life

Such is life
