Translation of Ainsi valse la vie from French to English
I was a father, a husband, a loved man
Never a winter in my life, only summers
A car, an education and a job
A house in my name, I was fulfilled
I don't want your sandwich
And even less your pity
You know, before, I was rich, huh
I was powerful, I shone
I'm not yelling, I'm explaining
You'd better listen to me
You can be at the zenith and on the sidewalk the next day
So waltzes life
So waltzes life
So waltzes life
Life
I was the one who sees the sea in July
The one who celebrates Christmas well surrounded
Every morning, the smile of my children
A good coffee, my newspaper and my croissants
Hey, my big baker
Have you already forgotten me?
It was me who left you the change
Would you like to give it back to me?
I fuck you as I fuck the world, you all pretend, you all know who I am
I haven't changed, I just moved and I don't have enough to feed my little girl
I recognize myself in your little lives
Oh, how I loved my little life
I get drunk, you avoid me
I smell strong, it's quickly said
I don't want your sandwich, damn, it won't make me forget
That I saw myself at the zenith and on the sidewalk the next day
So waltzes life (so waltzes)
So waltzes life (so waltzes)
So waltzes life (so waltzes)
Life
I miss my wife
Our memories haunt me
Rage in my belly, oh
When do I go home?
All this is my fault, I know
I blame others but it's me who failed
I betrayed my colleague to take his place
Lied to my kids for nothing, like a coward
I cheated on my wife, made scenes of household
Broke everything when she asked me for details
So convinced that all this was due to me
The bailiff warned me but I was too stubborn
Life gave me what is priceless but I spat on it so it took it back from me
So waltzes life
So waltzes my life
My life
So waltzes my life
(So waltzes life) so waltzes my life
(So waltzes life) so waltzes my life
(So waltzes life) so waltzes my life
