J'ai vu la vie [English translation]

No, the news isn't good

But in my heart it's beautiful

So, I abandoned the Rhone which carried me

Like an old barrel

I lied to no one, I simply jumped

At the side of the kids who live in the Ferlo

And there I saw life smile at mom

And then I saw the rain laugh at the children

An elder asked me, "Where do you come from?"

I told him I came from a house of fools

And there I saw life smile at mom

And then I saw the rain laugh at the children

An elder asked me, "Where are you going?"

Take back a little bit of you back to our house

No, the news is not good

But in my heart it is warm

So, I prefer to leave the men who push others on the metro

And me, I betray no one, I even let go of my ego

At the side of the kids who live in the Ferlo

And there I saw life smile at mom

And then I saw the rain laugh at the children

An elder asked me, "Where do you come from?"

I told him I came from a house of fools

And there I saw life smile at mom

And then I saw the rain laugh at the children

An elder asked me, "Where are you going?"

Take back a little bit of you back to our house

Like when it was good, Like when I was by your side

On the side of the river I saw your hands tell me to go back but I had to go there

Bring back my life and say to my mom

You know, I saw the rain laugh at the children

and my child, "where are you going?"

And me, I return to the house of fools

And there I saw life smile at mom

And then I saw the rain laugh at the children

An elder asked me, "Where do you come from?"

I told him I came from a house of fools

And there I saw life smile at mom

And then I saw the rain laugh at the children

An elder asked me, "Where are you going?"

Take back a little bit of you back to our house

I saw life, I saw rain

And I returned to the house of the fools

And I took back a little of you to our house
