Vivre Lyrics in English by Salvatore Adamo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Vivre by Salvatore Adamo from Italian to English.
Ma vie, je la brûle au feu de mon cœur, ma vie, je la joue quelquefois
My life, I burn it with my heart's fire, my life, I gamble it sometimes
Ma vie, je la donne pour une fleur, ma vie n'appartient qu'à moi
My life, I give it for a flower, my life belongs only to me
Mais puisque je dois être un homme, ma vie, je l'accroche à mes poings
But since I must be a man, my life, I cling to it with my fists
Ma vie ou ma mort, c'est tout comme, la chance se décide au besoin
My life or my death, it's all the same, luck is decided when needed
Mais s'il me reste une joie ou une larme
But if I have a joy or a tear left
Je veux la vivre, je veux la vivre, je veux la vivre
I want to live it, I want to live it, I want to live it
Et même si un jour, je dois prendre les armes
And even if one day I must take up arms
Je veux la vivre, je veux la vivre, je veux la vivre
I want to live it, I want to live it, I want to live it
Ma vie, de défaites en victoires, de coups au hasard du chemin
My life, from defeats to victories, from random blows along the way
Me forgera une mémoire qui sera ma force demain
Will forge a memory for me that will be my strength tomorrow
Et même si j'étais une épave voguant sur la mer de l'ennui
And even if I were a wreck drifting on the sea of boredom
Ma vie, je serai ton esclave, mes chaînes seraient mes amis
My life, I'll be your slave, my chains would be my friends
Car s'il me reste une joie ou une larme
Because if I have a joy or a tear left
Je veux la vivre, je veux la vivre, je veux la vivre
I want to live it, I want to live it, I want to live it
Et même si un jour, je dois prendre des armes
And even if one day I must take up arms
Je veux la vivre, je veux la vivre, je veux la vivre
I want to live it, I want to live it, I want to live it
Je veux la vivre, vivre, vivre, vivre, vivre
I want to live it, live, live, live, live

SALVATORE ADAMO, TRANSLATOR UNKNOWN
Did you like this lyrics translation?
épave — wreck
Épave translates to "wreck" or "shipwreck". It's a striking and somewhat dramatic word that isn't commonly found in everyday conversation or every song.
In the context of the song, Adamo uses it metaphorically: "Et même si j'étais une épave voguant sur la mer de l'ennui" (And even if I were a wreck sailing on the sea of boredom). This vivid imagery expresses a profound sense of desolation, yet he still affirms his will to live, making it a powerful and memorable word.
