Les chansons tristes [English translation]

I have sung my philosophy, my view on life,

My straight look and my smile

I have sung my youth, where I'm from and where I'm going, My faith in what is yet to come

Positive, idealist, a dreamer and optimist

Yes, and yet I know, I'm not doing it on purpose

But I like sad songs, sad songs

Stories about weaknesses and open wounds

But I like sad songs, sad songs

Suffering, distress, disappearing loves

They sing as loud as I live, the sad songs

I take things as they come, crying is just part of living

Three little rounds, and there it goes again

It's a way of taking to heart love as well as misfortune,

Of living life in a silver color

Light and whimsical, demanding and a dreamer

I live life at 1000 km/h, I have no reason to be afraid

But I like sad songs, sad songs

Stories about weaknesses and open wounds

But I like sad songs, sad songs

Suffering, distress, disappearing loves

Tey sing as loud as I live, the sad songs

They sing as loud as I live, the sad songs

I have sung my philosophy...
