Il N'y A Pas D'amour Heureux Lyrics in English Françoise Hardy
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Il N'y A Pas D'amour Heureux by Françoise Hardy from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Rien n'est jamais acquis
Nothing is ever acquired
À l'homme, ni sa force
To man, nor his strength
Ni sa faiblesse ni son cœur
Neither his weakness nor his heart
Et quand il croit
And when he believes
Ouvrir ses bras, son ombre
Open your arms, your shadow
Est celle d'une croix
Is that of a cross
Et quand il veut serrer
And when he wants to squeeze
Son bonheur, il le broie
He crushes his happiness
Sa vie est un étrange
His life is a strange one
Et douloureux divorce
And painful divorce
Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux
there is no happy love
Sa vie elle ressemble à ces soldats sans armes
Her life resembles these unarmed soldiers
Qu'on avait habillés pour un autre destin
That we had dressed for another destiny
À quoi peut leur servir de ce lever matin
What use can they get from getting up in the morning?
Eux qu'on retrouve au soir désarmés, incertains
Those who we find in the evening disarmed, uncertain
Dites ces mots ma vie et retenez vos larmes
Say these words my life and hold back your tears
Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux
there is no happy love
Mon bel amour, mon cher amour, ma déchirure
My beautiful love, my dear love, my tear
Je te porte dans moi comme un oiseau blessé
I carry you inside me like a wounded bird
Et ceux-là sans savoir nous regardent passer
And those without knowing watch us pass
Répétant après moi ces mots que j'ai tressés
Repeating after me these words that I braided
Et qui pour tes grands yeux tout aussitôt moururent
And who for your big eyes immediately died
Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux
there is no happy love
Le temps d'apprendre à vivre il est déjà trop tard
The time to learn to live is already too late
Que pleurent dans la nuit nos cœurs à l'unisson
Let our hearts cry in unison in the night
Ce qu'il faut de regrets pour payer un frisson
What regrets it takes to pay for a thrill
Ce qu'il faut de malheur pour la moindre chanson
What misfortune is needed for the slightest song
Ce qu'il faut de sanglots pour un air de guitare
What sobs are needed for a guitar tune
Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux
there is no happy love
