Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Je Veux Du Bonheur by Christophe Maé from French to English.

I want happiness, I want joy

Let my heart burst with hallelujah

Take my hand, I'll take you

I know the way

It appears with no effort and no sorrow

Tell yourself it's sunny

And the weather's as warm as yesterday

Yeah, tell yourself it's hot

And we'll beat winter

Thousands of hearts echo inside me

Maybe a bit of a thief so I won't be cold

Take my hand, I'll take you

I know a path

It appears with no effort and no shoes

Tell yourself it's sunny

And the weather's as warm as yesterday

Yeah, tell yourself it's hot

And we'll beat winter

Dance like nobody's watching you

Sing like nobody hears you

Smile at life like it's smiling at you

Yeah, go on, dance like nobody's watching you

Sing like nobody hears you

Smile at life like it's smiling at you

Tell yourself it's sunny

And the weather's as warm as yesterday

Yeah, tell yourself it's hot

And we'll beat winter

I want summer on demand

Break the walls to see the blue

I wanna see my parents for a long time

Why not talk to them another thousand years

I wanna watch the flowers and my kids grow

Meet love at every crossroads

Bathe in the rivers of prayers

Be blessed by the great

I want joy, I want love

Good vibes, yeah, I want happiness

I wanna live, I want happiness, yeah
