Vivre ou survivre [English translation]

Clock rings in the morning

Crying sorrow

The movie from the past

Is replaying in wet eyes

Short, far too short

Our love

And all these pleas for help

Know that the deaf don't hear what they want

And still he wants to live

Or survive

Without poems

Without hurting those who love him

To be happy

Unhappy

Live alone or even as a pair

But to live forever

Without speech

Without velvet

Without the useless sentences

Of an old photo romance

The withering flowers die

Black and white

Only colors

Of a future that's already the past for us both

And still we must live

Or survive

Without poems

Without hurting those we love

To be happy

Unhappy

Live alone or even as a pair

And still we must live

Or survive

Without poems

Without hurting those we love

To be happy

Unhappy

Live alone or even as a pair

But to live quietly

Thinking about all the pain

On Earth and realize

We are not the most unhappy

But when with love

Everything collapses

All the misery in the world

Is nothing compared to a farewell

And still I want to live

Or survive

Without poems

Without hurting those I love

To be happy

Unhappy

Live alone or even as a pair

Live or survive

Alone or as a pair
