Les amis (original)Les amis (translation)
Ces gens-là ont de l’humourThese folk are quick with jest,
Ils ont toujours le mot qu’il fautThey summon words like acrobats through flame,
Avec eux, pas de détourWith them, the path is arrow-straight, not guessed—
Ils connaissent tous mes défautsThey read my faults as one who knows my name.
Ces gens là, ils ont du cœurThese folk, their hearts are lanterns in the dusk,
Oui, madame, si vous saviez combienYes, madam, if you glimpsed the sea within—
Ils ont essuyé mes pleursThey brushed my tears away as rain from musk,
Et enterré mes chagrinsAnd laid my sorrows deep beneath the skin.
C’est la vie qui veut çaSuch is the will of life, its unturned tide,
Le destin, madame, je ne vous mens pasFate, madam—believe me, I do not feign—
C’est la vie qui veut çaSuch is the will of life, unsatisfied,
Les amis, madame, on ne les choisit pasFriends, madam, are gifts no hand can ordain.
Ces gens-là, ils parlent fortThese folk, their voices thunder through the halls,
Et n’ont pas peur de s’fâcherAnd wrath holds no dominion over them;
Ni de dire qu’ils ont eu tortNor do they shrink from owning when pride falls—
Pour se réconcilierThus, broken bonds become a diadem.
Ces gens-là, ils ont comprisThese folk have grasped the cipher, have discerned—
Oui, madame, ils ont comprisYes, madam, they have pondered and have learned—
Que pour vivre cette vieTo journey through such days, so roughly churned,
Il faut garder ses amisOne must keep friends—the lesson dearly earned.
C’est la vie qui veut çaSuch is the will of life, its wild decree,
Le destin, madame, je ne vous mens pasFate, madam, believe me, I do not feign—
C’est la vie qui veut çaSuch is the will of life, its mystery,
Les amis, madame, on ne les choisit pasFriends, madam, are not chosen, but remain.
Comme on aime se retrouverHow sweet the hour when reunions cast
Et se dire que rien n’a changéTheir golden nets, and nothing seems to alter;
Que ni les mois ni les annéesNot months nor years—those ghosts are quickly passed—
Que, non, rien n’a comptéNo, nothing leaves a trace, nor makes us falter.
C’est la vie qui veut çaSuch is the will of life, its hidden law,
Les amis, madame, on ne les choisit pasFriends, madam, are not chosen, but remain.
C’est la vie qui veut çaSuch is the will of life, its ancient awe,
Si vous voulez, madame, j’vous fais une place chez moiIf you would wish, madam, I’d make you room in my domain.
C’est la vieSuch is life
