Oh my sweet suffering
Why persist, you start again
I'm just a being without importance
Without him I'm a bit crazy
I stroll about alone in the subway
A last dance
To forget my tremendous sorrow
I want to run away, that everything should start again.
Oh my sweet suffering
I move the heavens, in the day, at night
I dance with the wind, the rain
A little love, a bit of honey
And I dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance1
And in the noise, I run and I'm afraid
Is it my turn,
The grief is coming back2
In all Paris, I let myself go
And away I fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly3
Only hope
On this path in your absence
However hard I slave away, without you my life is just a set4 that shines, devoid of meaning
I move the heavens, in the day, at night
I dance with the wind, the rain
A little love, a bit of honey
And I dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
And in the noise, I run and I'm afraid
Is it my turn,
The grief is coming back
In all Paris, I let myself go
And away I fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
In this sweet suffering
All of whose offenses I paid for
Listen to how huge my heart is
I am a child of the world
I move the heavens, in the day, at night
I dance with the wind, the rain
A little love, a bit of honey
And I dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
And in the noise I run and I'm afraid
Is it my turn,
The grief is coming back
In all Paris I let myself go
And away I fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
