oui c'est la vie, oui c'est la vie

Swinging aimlessly

oui c'est la vie, oui c'est la vie

My thoughts long for you



Let your heart be merry by this feeling like you're waiting for someone

It's not often that we open the door to a holiday

This street is covered in showy garments and a happiness that comes and goes

My fingertips search lonely for you



oui c'est la vie, oui c'est la vie

If I continued to follow that distant singing

The dusk would come soon



this time a gentle voice

this night descends upon the city

this time I'll forget everything

this night up till tonight



Without taking heart, the bitterness of the smoke mixes with their breaths

You vanish into a crowd of smiling people

Somehow or another the cast will become empty passerbyers

And when that happens, I'll imitate their colors



oui c'est la vie, oui c'est la vie

Swinging aimlessly

Nowadays, I think things are going alright



If I could drift gently over to the place not on a map

I'll forget the hours I spent singing to myself without realizing it



oui c'est la vie, oui c'est la vie

Swinging aimlessly

oui c'est la vie, oui c'est la vie

My thoughts long for you
