Le premier bonheur du jour [English translation]

The first happiness of the day

Is a strip of sunshine

That reels itself around your hand

And caresses my shoulder

It is the sea breeze

And the beach that awaits

It's the bird that sang

On the fig tree branch

The first distress of the day

Is the door that closes,

The car that leaves,

The silence that creeps in

But soon you'll come back

And my life will resume itself

The last happiness of the day

Is the light that goes off
