Vivre A En Crever Lyrics in English Mozart L'Opéra Rock

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Vivre A En Crever by Mozart L'Opéra Rock from French to English.
We leave without knowing
Where memories die
Our life flashes in the space of a sigh
Our tears, our fears
Don't mean anything anymore
Yet we cling to the thread of our desires
That just yesterday
We kept cursing
If we have to die
Might as well live till it kills us
Hold on to everything to sacrifice it all
If we have to die
On our headstones, I wanna engrave
That our laughter
Fooled
Death and time
We hang on
We embrace
Life like a mistress
We don't give a f*ck about burning it all for one caress
She'll give herself
She won't have any other choice
If we have to die
Might as well live till it kills us
Hold on to everything to sacrifice it all
If we have to die
On our headstones, I wanna engrave
That our laughter
Fooled
Death and time
We'll see each other again, we'll see each other again
Where nothing's anything anymore
We'll understand where we come from
If we have to die
Might as well live till it kills us
Hold on to everything to sacrifice it all
If we have to die
On our headstones, I wanna engrave
That our laughter
Fooled
Death and time

SONG MEANING

Mozart L'Opéra Rock’s Italian front-man invites us on a head-spinning ride where life and death duel like fiery lovers. In Vivre À En Crever he shouts that since memories eventually fade and fears lose their meaning, the only logical response is to live so intensely that it almost hurts. Every heartbeat is treated as priceless fuel, worth burning just for one more laugh, one more embrace, one more blazing moment that can mock both time and the grave.

At its core, the song is a rallying cry: if we must die, let us first live beyond all limits. The lyrics clutch life “like a mistress,” eager to sacrifice everything for a single caress, and dream of carving on their own tombstones that their laughter outsmarted death itself. It is romantic, rebellious and wildly optimistic, wrapping a carpe-diem philosophy in soaring rock-opera melodies that make you want to sing, shout and seize the day right now.
