Today, what a magnificent day
_____
What a day of happiness
_____
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
