Les Amis

These people have humor
They always have the right word
With them, no detour
They know all my flaws

These people, they have heart
Yes, madam, if you knew how much
They have wiped my tears
And buried my sorrows

It's life
That's how it goes
Destiny, madam
I'm not lying to you
It's life
That's how it goes
Friends, madam
We don't choose them

These people speak loudly
And are not afraid to get angry
Or to admit they were wrong
To reconcile

These people have understood
Yes, madam, they have understood
That to live this life
You have to keep your friends

It's life
That's how it goes
Destiny, madam
I'm not lying to you
It's life
That's how it goes
Friends, madam
We don't choose them

How we love to meet again
And say that nothing has changed
That neither the months nor the years
That, no, nothing has mattered

It's life
That's how it goes
Friends, madam
We don't choose them
It's life
That's how it goes
If you want, madam
I'll make room for you at my place
It's life
