Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dénouement Heureux by Calogero from French to English.

We can change our minds

Friends, countries

For that, I don't see any problem

Reinvent the names of everything

Make ourselves a pretty world

We can build towers

Higher than the sky

Decide in a god's place

But stay in the arms we love

It's not given to whoever wants

Can we

Change people's fate

Who love each other

It even seems

If we do our best

That there's not

A happy ending

Can we

Trade the ending for

A worse beginning

If I had to choose, I'd rather

Better stay together

Or simply write

A happy ending

We can imagine

Beyond the walls

Defy nature's laws

Turn a tree into a guitar

A one-night stand

Into a great story

We can change our lives

Beds, DNA

The view if we lean a bit

But break up on good terms

It's not given to whoever wants

Can we

Change people's fate

Who love each other

It seems even if we do

Our best

That there's not

A happy ending

Can we

Change the ending

For a worse beginning

If I had to choose

I'd rather grow old together

Or simply write

A happy ending

And if there's no ending

It's better

Can we

To look like fools

If we hold hands

Even though it's over

For a long time now, us two

We'd write it together

That happy ending

SONG MEANING

Calogero invites us into a playful what-if universe where almost anything can be rewritten: names, countries, even the laws of nature. In this song, the narrator imagines building towers taller than the sky, bending destiny, and turning a casual fling into a grand romance, all in the hope of protecting a cherished bond. Yet among these boundless possibilities, there is one stubborn reality: separating on good terms is far harder than changing the world itself.

The heart of the song is a bittersweet question: can love stories be edited so they end happily? While the verses celebrate human imagination and free will, the chorus concedes that even our best efforts may not guarantee a neat conclusion. Still, Calogero clings to a gentle wish: to grow old together, or at least write a kinder final chapter side by side. The result is an uplifting yet reflective anthem for anyone who has ever dreamed of crafting their own happy ending.
