le chemin de la vie [English translation]

I've had some obstacles

on the path of life and I know that I will again (again).

If at times I stumble I recover quite quickly,

I learn and that makes ne stronger (stronger).

Because basically my fate is my own,

I have to follow my course whatever it costs,

I've got it all in my hands but I know well

that the future is uncertain1.

Anything can suffice to make things change,

just a meeting, an exchange,

and your life can topple,

but things are stranger,

it all happens just when you most fell trapped,

you'll see people who will give you their hand

it's up to you not to mess teh chance

and to always believe in your destiny.

Don't wait for things to happen, bring them about,

don't leave anything to chance.

These unhealthy proposals, reject them

while waiting for relief.

'We don't say where we're from, where we're going

and each of us follows his path,

me, I've got mine, mine.

on the path of life and I know that I will again (again).

Life is a long battle

where luck doesn't count,

so never drop your guard.

when you are at the lowest point

think of those who are no longer there

and who are looking at you from above

(don't give up)

Everything comes to him who waits

(you have to believe in yourself).

People won't make it easy for you2

(keep the faith)

be like the Phoenix that rises from the ashes

having put aside life's nature and its incessant blows,

then it's hidden after that , after that it's the daddy of of fears3

but not necessarily, minds are still in charge, and so

believe in your destiny

as long as you still have it.

Pursue your objective and above all don't let go, don't let

don't let anyone tell you what's good for you,

if you don't know that then who will know it?

Before attaining happiness

I know the route is still long

but one day you and I will have it.

To reach the top of a mountain

there are several to get there.

Since your courage alone goes with you

it will by your best ally.

Now suppose for a moment

that this mountain represents your dreams as well as all your wishes,

the road will be long and even if hope collapses

it's your life, make of it what you will.
