Mélancolie
Yves Duteil
Melancholy
There are days when, as the day breaks, one would like to retreat deep into a dream
And then, suddenly, when the bell tower rings, there are days when one is no longer anyone
So, one closes their eyes for a moment
When they reopen them, everything is as before
People see you and their gaze is surprised
There are days when one is no longer anyone
Like in the middle of a deserted cinema, we rewind and everything goes backwards
And when we think of the people we leave behind, there are days when one is no longer anyone
La la la la la la
La la la
La la la...
Opening one's heart to all passing winds
And, that one morning, all sorrows fade away
To forget, in the happiness we give, that there are days when one is no longer anyone
That there are days when, as the day breaks, one would like to retreat deep into dreams
And fall asleep when the bell tower rings
There are days when one is no longer anyone.
