Non, la vie n'est pas triste [English translation]

No, life is not sad

And happiness exists.

It would suffice to reach out a hand.

You would find many friends.

It would take hardly anything

And you'll see, everything would be all right.

But now,

You consented like this

You like me, that's it,

To tear you

And you let yourself be guided.

You can change everything

You, the tormented.

See, in the eyes of the girls,

See, as the sun shines.

Listen to me and then you'll see,

Listen to me and everything will change.

Look closely, you'll be surprised

Until then you have not understood anything.

So much love

And many beautiful days

Are close to you

But you remain deaf

And your eyes

Do not see the blue,

Do not see the sky

Or lovers,

But, so try anyway.

Love, if you want to be loved.
