C'est la vie, Lily [English translation]

That's life, Lily

When you go to the streets of town

Everyone admires you and your smiles

And your youth make the soliders dream

That's life, Lily

When you go to the streets of town

How beautiful you are, not very faithful

Too often you flirt with the soldiers

Turn, turn, the time passes

In your eyes in front of your mirror

But you, you don't see it pass

That's life, Lily

When you go to the streets of town

To sell roses or something else

But you give so many nights to the soliders

Turn, turn, the time passes

In your eyes in front of your mirror

But you, you don't see it pass

That's life, Lily

When you sleep in the streets of town

You are quite old, you remember

That in the past you made soldiers dream

Turn, turn, the time passes

In your eyes in front of your mirror

But you, you don't see it pass
