C'est la vie [English translation]

Every morning, it's the same hustle

Lifting your head, opening your arms

Every morning, it's the same number

Finding love, looking for words

I'm cornered like an escapee

I have to walk and never stop

I'm trapped, like one condemned

to walk and never return

That's life, life is wind

Which blows away our childhood dreams

It's the night that falls

It's never as it was before

We don't have to pretend anymore, wait

That's life, life that wants it

Which hurts us, our heart and eyes

It's the night that falls again

Like the rain and the bombs

Every morning it's the same cinema

Reaching out your hands, crossing your fingers

Every morning, it's the same comedy

Looking for someone, finding the one that

I'm trapped like a castaway

I have to walk and never stop

I'm cornered, like a rebel

To walk and never return

That's life, life is wind

Which blows away our childhood dreams

It's the night that falls

It's never as it was before

We don't have to pretend anymore, wait

That's life, life that wants it

Which hurts us, our heart and eyes

It's the night that falls again

Like the rain and the bombs

We don't have to pretend anymore, wait

That's life...
