Le blues du businessman [English translation]

I have worked hard for my success

Pulled on my bootstraps, saw it through 

My parents' trust fund helped me too

My office tower scrapes the sky 

Inside, my name's in golden cast

My secretaries never last

I lived half my life in flight 

Between New York and Tokyo  

First class is the way to go

In every corner of the world

I own estates with capital 

Its riches at my beck and call 

- Then why are you so blue?

- Hard to believe, and yet it's true 

All of my wealth and fame aside 

I feel an emptiness inside

I'm very good at what I do

Still, when all is said and done

I never could do what I loved...

-So say, what would you do?

In life, you are what you can do

Not what you'd do...

- What I would give someday to sing!

To tell my words, to sing my song 

Confess my thoughts, my everything 

My hidden secrets and my wrong

What I would give someday to write! 

To tell my story to the world

To invent my life in the right 

And be a hero for the world 

A hero for each boy and girl 

What I would give someday to act! 

To see myself, the leading man  

To change my skin, to change the fact

That I can be just who I am

I can be more than who I am 

What I would give someday to love! 

To hear just once, "You're not that old"

Believe in some great force above 

Who’d save me from this life of gold 

Who’d prove there’s more to life than gold

What I would give someday to sing! 

So I can tell the world "I live!"
