C'est une belle journée [English translation]

Lying down, his body is lifeless

For thousands of people

He is a sleeping man...

The amphora is half-full

It is effortlessly

Seen as half-empty 1

Perceiving life on tails

Oh Philosophy,

Tell me elegies

Happiness

Frightens me

For wanting so much

And I have a heart murmur

Therefore,

(Refrain)

It is a lovely day

I turn in

Such a lovely day

Which comes to an end

Makes me want to love

But I turn in

As to live eternity

To the fullest

It is a lovely day

I turn in

Such a lovely day

Absolute day

Makes me want peace,

To see angels at my feet

But I turn in

So as to make my getaway

Lying down, His body is lifeless

For thousands of people

He is a sleeping Man...

The amphora is half-full

I still perceive it

As full-empty

All has been said, as in love

If that is heavy 2

If with a light heart 3

Still elegies

Pleasures, long or short pleasures

See ? My love

I am breathless

Do you understand ?

(Refrain)

Beautiful

Life is as beautiful

Like a wing

Which must not be wound

Beautiful

Life is beautiful

But I go up there 4

Beautiful

Life is beautiful

But mine is

A vanished world

It, I get into it

And mortal, leave

(Refrain)

It is a lovely day

I turn in

Such a lovely day

Which comes to an end

Makes me want to love

But I turn in

As to live eternity

To the fullest

It is a lovely day

I turn in

Such a lovely day

Absolute day

Makes me want peace,

To see angels at my feet

But I turn in

So as to make my getaway
