Le premier bonheur du jour [English translation]

The first luck of the day

is a ribbon of the sun

which loops around your arm

and caresses my shoulder

It's the breath of the sea

and the beach that waits

It's the bird that sang

on the perch of a fig

The first misery of the day

Is the door that closes

The car that leaves

The silence that settles

But soon you'll come back

and my life gets going

The last luck of the day

Is the lamp that goes off

• Artist:Françoise Hardy
