Apparently, happiness is recognized
By the noise it makes when it leaves
He wasn't the last of the fools
The one who said that
Mine left yesterday
After twenty years under my roof

It made a hell of a noise
I can't stand it
One would think that proverbs
Don't always say nonsense
Goodbye love, hello shit
Falling on me

It wasn't a small, quiet happiness
From a grocery store or a tobacco bar
It was a happiness as big as the earth
Even bigger than that
As big as all the volcanoes in Auvergne
Like a Maharaja's palace
Like the treasure in Ali-Baba's cave

Maybe it had become fragile
Maybe it was too big for me
No matter, the fact remains
I didn't see it

My love slammed the door
But I wasn't on the right side
There, like a dead leaf
On the pavement

I keep looking for comfort from friends
The comfort of friendship
Soon they'll be fed up
Seeing me cry
Because in these cases my friend
You don't care about dignity
When you know your loves are dead
Forever

Apparently, happiness is recognized
By the noise it makes when it leaves
He wasn't the last of the fools
The one who said that

My happiness had to leave
After twenty years under my roof
I only have one desire, to die
But it's not done

My heart is like Chernobyl
And my life is like Hiroshima
Yet there's worse than dying
There's living without you

Yet there's worse than dying
There's living without you
