What a deep and lovely song. Thank you, Mr. Kendji Girac!
For your convenience, an English translation follows the song (https://bit.ly/3X1F9gX).
The school of life
“I’ve lived everything that I know
I’ve shouted out my dreams to the stars
I’ve been given an unrivalled voice
Just for a few smiles in the street
I’ve told myself stories, I’ve performed songs for you
Songs that say the heart is right
To hold on to nothing but hope
Where school has no hallways
I haven’t had other professors
But this is where I’ve learned everything
I got my morals at the school of life
Maybe I’m a bit of a dreamer
I’ve done some stupid things
But I was always on time at the school of life
I flew to rejoin my class at the first ray of light
Right in the middle of a class that went until the night without any sleep
We had homework for class, to never believe in love
And the beautiful part of the story is that what we learn every day, I keep learning it every day
I haven’t had other professors
But this is where I’ve learned everything
I got my morals at the school of life
Maybe I’m a bit of a dreamer
I’ve done some stupid things
But I was always on time at the school of life
My life is beautiful
It’s beautiful, it’s beautiful
My life is beautiful
It’s beautiful, it’s beautiful
My life is beautiful
It’s beautiful, it’s beautiful
It’s life that taught me everything
My life is beautiful
It’s beautiful, it’s beautiful
My life is beautiful
It’s beautiful, it’s beautiful
My life is beautiful
It’s beautiful, it’s beautiful
It’s life that taught me everything
My kids will read what I fail at sometimes in books
Then I’ll tell them that, to be truly free
You have to start all over again
You have to start all over again
I haven’t had other professors
But this is where I’ve learned everything
I got my morals at the school of life
Maybe I’m a bit of a dreamer
I’ve done some stupid things
But I was always on time at the school of life
It, it’s beautiful
It, it’s beautiful
It, it’s beautiful
It, it’s beautiful
It, it’s beautiful
It, it’s beautiful
It, it’s beautiful
It, it’s beautiful“.
