Quel tempérament de feu [English translation]

Twenty-four hours in a day is not enough.

I would like each year to last a century

in order to try everything, to learn everything,

and to penetrate all of the mysteries

on the ground, in the air, on the seas.

To drive racing cars and to attempt the impossible—

to love music, to read every book.

It is a living force that burns me,

that makes me defy life

when I dance without a break all night long.

(What a fiery temperament this girl has!)

Life without you is too empty.

(What a fiery temperament this girl has!)

I want to live.

(What a fiery temperament this girl has!)

At night without you, I am sad.

(What a fiery temperament this girl has!)

Yes, I burn to live.

It is a true passion that anchors me to your arms.

You are gone too often, far away from me—

and I kill time, I fool myself, I hide the truth from myself.

When you leave, I get sick from living.

(What a fiery temperament this girl has!)

Life without you is too empty.

(What a fiery temperament this girl has!)

I want to live.

(What a fiery temperament this girl has!)

At night without you, I am sad.

(What a fiery temperament this girl has!)

Yes, I burn to live.

(What a fiery temperament this girl has!)

Life without you is too empty.

(What a fiery temperament this girl has!)

I want to live.

(What a fiery temperament this girl has!)

At night without you, I am sad.

(What a fiery temperament this girl has!)

Yes, I burn to live....
