Heureux Lyrics in English Jacques Brel
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Heureux by Jacques Brel from French to English.
Heureux qui chante pour l'enfant
Happy is the one who sings for the child
Et qui sans jamais rien lui dire
And who, without ever saying anything to him
Le guide au chemin triomphant
Guides him on the triumphant path
Heureux qui chante pour l'enfant
Happy is the one who sings for the child
Heureux qui sanglote de joie
Happy is the one who sobs with joy
Pour s'être enfin donné d'amour
For having finally given love
Ou pour un baiser que l'on boit
Or for a kiss that is savored
Heureux qui sanglote de joie
Happy is the one who sobs with joy
Heureux les amants séparés
Happy are the lovers separated
Et qui ne savent pas encore
And who do not yet know
Qu'ils vont demain se retrouver
That they will meet again tomorrow
Heureux les amants séparés
Happy are the lovers separated
Heureux les amants épargnés
Happy are the spared lovers
Et dont la force de vingt ans
And whose strength of twenty years
Ne sert à rien qu'à bien s'aimer
Serves only to love each other well
Heureux les amants épargnés
Happy are the spared lovers
Heureux les amants que nous sommes
Happy are the lovers that we are
Et qui demain loin l'un de l'autre
And who tomorrow, far from each other
S'aimeront, s'aimeront
Will love each other, will love each other
Par-dessus les hommes
Above all others
