Tout S'En Va
Charles Aznavour
Everything Goes Away
Everything goes away, everything dies
You no longer believe in our happiness
And you become without reason or cause
Nervous and gloomy, Rose, Rose
Rose, Rose, oh yes! I remember
I was what, seventeen years old, you maybe a little younger
When you skipped classes and came in the morning
To bring me your heart like a rosebud
Rose, rose, love of my past
When you came to see me in my attic room
I thought your skin smelled like wet hay
And when I kissed you... but that's another story
Everything goes away, everything dies
You want to close your door to my heart
I already hear the wind rising
To chase away my dreams, Eve, Eve
Eve, Eve another memory
That burned my heart before weakening
I thought I was going crazy, I wanted to die
But time heals everything, one day without warning
Eve, Eve to bite madly
In the fruit of love, we break our teeth
If you hurt me, I still kept
The memory of the days... I think I'm getting lost
Everything goes away, everything dies
I feel fear settling in me
You have already packed your suitcase
And I realize, Lise, Lise
Lise, Lise where are you today
You who died during the day to be reborn at night
You who walked barefoot dreaming in the rain
Hating the sun but loving the snow
Lise, Lise and your flowing hair
Whimsical, unexpected, half-woman and half-child
Who fell into my arms sometimes sobbing
Or laughing very loudly... let's see where was I?
Everything goes away, everything dies
I am nothing but a shadow in your heart
And I see clearly that everything is getting ready in you
For other conquests... Kate, Kate
Kate, Kate with the accent I loved
Who despite her efforts when she spoke
Couldn't help but butcher the French language
Who, despite being English, was made of clay
Kate, Kate had a thousand treasures
And rust stains adorned her body
As if her parents had left her outside
Too long in the rain... fragile happiness
Everything goes away, everything dies
But spring returns victorious
Arms loaded with dreams and flowers
And dries our tears
And sows in our hearts
Its grains of madness
That's how life goes
