Laisse-la vivre
(From the album "Laisse-la vivre")

Unofficial translation of "Laisse-la vivre", a song written by Véronique Sanson
(produced with permission)

 

You've been married to her for a long time 
You don't have much to say 
You believe that you are everything to her 
And deep inside you like to say so 
You mistrust her friends 
You push people out of her life 

And she feels it 
You left with her for a semblance of
a step to your happiness 

It's that you think only about your party, your own party, 
Because she's nowhere in your head 
So 

Let her live 
Let her dream 
Let her live 
Let her dream 
Let her live her life 
To live her life and dream 
But let her live 
Let her dream 

She's known what's been keeping you, for a long time 
And has nothing more to say about it 
She works the week for your children 
Without resentment and without pleasure 
She doesn't expect anything magic 
You don't even like the music 
And if she left one day just like that 
Towards other illusions 
Do you believe that you would come for her 
Your soul vain to the demon 
It's that you think only about your party, your poor party, 
Because she's nowhere in your head 
So 

Let her live 
Let her love 
Let her laugh 
Let her dream 
Let her live her life 
To live her life and to love 
Let her live 
Let her dream 
Let her live 
Let her sing
