La vie ne vaut rien [English translation]

He tried hard to understand

To know if existence had a meaning

He asked heaps of overjoyed people their advice

Overjoyed to give their advice on life

He crossed through the dizziness of the whirling dervishes

The smoke of the haschich smokers and he said

Life isn't worth anything, nothing, life isn't worth anything

But, for me, when I take it up, take it up, but for me when I take it up

Here in my two hands with awe

The two small, pretty breasts of my friend,

Then, I say nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing amounts to life

I saw space pass

Between the rich splendours, the luxury hotels

After the janitors

The others hope in the clocktowers, the monasteries

To see the old Sgt Pepper but that's only Richard Gere,

He entered like an insect on the web

To see the cultists and he said

Life isn't worth anything, nothing, life isn't worth anything

But, for me, when I take it up, take it up, but for me when I take it up

Here in my two hands with awe

The two small, pretty breasts of my friend,

Then, I say nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing amounts to life

He saw lovelessness, a lack of money

Like life it's cleansing

And like that it cleanses the people

He played "Jeux interdit" for his sleeping friends, nostalgia

And he said

Life isn't worth anything, life isn't worth anything

But, for me, when I take it up, take it up, but for me when I take it up

Here in my two hands with awe

The two small, pretty breasts of my friend,

I say nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing amounts to life

Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing nothing amounts to life

Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing nothing amounts to life
