Alain Souchon - La vie ne vaut rien Лирицс транслатион то енглисх

Life is not worth a thing

He looked at his life from all angles
to see if existence had some meaning.
He asked the opinion of lots of people,
all delighted to give their opinion about life.
He went through the smoke of whirling
dervishes,
of pot smokers,
and he said:
 
Life is not worth a damn thing.
Life is not worth a thing,
but when I just hold
but when I hold
in these two bewildered hands
the two nice little breasts of my sweetheart,
then I say there's nothing, nothing
nothing better than life1.
 
He watched space go by,
among the jet set, the pomp, the palaces,
and then glorified janitors2.
Some put their hopes in steeples and monasteries,
looking to see a good old cushy Sgt. Pepper3,
but there's only Richard Gere up there.
He crawled like a bug into Internet sites
to meet people from sects,
and he said
 
Life is not worth a damn thing.
Life is not worth a thing,
but when I just hold
but when I hold
in these two bewildered hands
the two nice little breasts of my sweetheart,
then I say there's nothing, nothing
nothing better than life.
 
He saw lacks of love and money,
how corrosive life is,
how it washes out people.
He played lame guitar tunes4 for some
drowsy friends.
What a nostaligia!
And he said:
 
Ah!
Life is not worth a damn thing.
Life is not worth a thing,
but when I just hold
but when I hold
in these two bewildered hands
the two nice little breasts of my sweetheart,
then I say there's nothing, nothing
nothing better than life.
 
There's nothing, nothing
nothing better than life. (x2)
 

• 1. lit. 'life is worth nothing / nothing is worth life'
• 2. lit. 'surface technician', the PC equivalent of 'janitor'
• 3. pun on 'pépère' (easy, tranquil) and the Beatles' character
• 4. The first bars of ' can be played with the right hand only. I has become a symbol for phoney guitar players

This translation does not claim to be of any particular value.
Glad if you liked it, sorry if you didn't.
You can reuse it as you please.
Glad if it's for knowledge or understanding, sorry if it's just for money or fame.
