Today, what a magnificent day
My lovely woman has gone away
She’s finally set me free
I’m master of my life again
And I want to enjoy it more and more
She swore to me as she left
That she’d never come back again
Never again knowing what love is
Pick the loveliest flower
Enjoy life and hush the heart
At the follies of the world
Because life is beautiful
I want to live it more and more
Often the comedy of love
Has your woman make you act
Then you become the leading actor
And repeat whatever she wants
In the third act the curtain falls
At last reality returns
It’s her comedy of love
That will turn into a farce
Feels a moment of nostalgia again
And I thank whoever took her away
At the follies of the world
Because life is beautiful
I want to live it more and more
