Translation of the song lyrics Il faut vivre sa vie - Eddy Mitchell, Les Chaussettes Noires

Il faut vivre sa vie (original)

Vous aurez beau faire, vous aurez beau dire
Il ne croit pas en vos livres
Vos conseils ne veulent rien dire
Il est grand et il veut vivre
Il veut vivre sa vie
Chaque soir, vous l’attendez
Qu’as-tu fait?
Où es-tu allé?
A quoi bon l’importuner
Il est jeune, il veut rêver
Il veut rêver
Pour apprendre le verbe aimer
Pour apporter
Tout l’amour qu’il peut donner
Laissez-lui sa liberté
Rien ne pourra l’arrêter
A son âge, on croit comprendre
Que l’amour est un jeu tendre
Il veut vivre sa vie
Vivre sa vie
Ne pas sombrer dans l’oubli
Vivre sa vie
Ne pas tomber dans l’ennui
Vous savez, maintenant
Qu’il est devenu grand
Et qu’alors est né en lui
Ce désir d’aimer la vie
Laissez le vivre sa vie
Vivre sa vie
Vivre sa vie
Vivre sa vie …

Il faut vivre sa vie (translation)

You may do, you may say
He doesn't believe in your books
Your advice means nothing
He's big and he wants to live
He wants to live his life
Every night you wait for him
What did you do?
Where did you go?
Why bother him
He's young, he wants to dream
He wants to dream
To learn the verb to love
To bring
All the love he can give
Let him have his freedom
Nothing can stop it
At his age, we think we understand
That love is a tender game
He wants to live his life
Live your life
Don't sink into oblivion
Live your life
Don't Get Bored
You know now
That he has grown up
And then was born in him
This desire to love life
Let him live his life
Live your life
Live your life
Live your life …
