Heureuse [English translation]

Happy as anything,

Happy despite anything,

Happy, Happy, Happy...

It must be!

I want it!

My love, for both of us.

Happy to have

At last a piece

Of heaven, of love, of joy.

Happy as anything,

Happy anywhere

Through you!

The best and the worst, we'll share it.

It's what they call loving each-other for keeps1

But for me, from now on the worst

Would be to lose the best,

Being there close to you

And crying for joy because of it.

Happy as anything,

Happy despite anything,

Happy, Happy, Happy...

It must be!

I want it!

My love, for both of us.

Happy tomorrow

For everything or for nothing

As long as you're there.

You'll see, you'll see...

Happy as anything,

Happy to the last

For you...

1. I would say "what they call true love" but someone would be bound to call that a mistralslation because the French doesn't include "grand" and they were taught at scholl that "true love" was "grand amour" so I've gone a bit literal here
