Bambi appreciates smiles in life. Indeed, she has an earlier post entitled “Why don’t we just… smile?“. It is shown at the end of this one. Bearing this in mind, tonight just before going to sleep, she discovered a beautiful song entitled “Sourire” [“A Smile” in English]. It is composed by Mr. Nicola Ciccone and she would like to share it with you.
As she could not find this song’s lyrics online, neither in French nor in English, she pretended she was (still) a teenager :). So, she translated the lyrics for you by listening to the song and pausing to take notes. Thankfully, her friend Mr. Google Translate who never goes to sleep, kindly helped her :). You can find their quick English translation following the Youtube video.
Bravo and thank you, Mr. Nicola Ciccone for the depth of you writing, the charm of your voice, and for your inspiring philosophy of happiness!
“Smile when you’re in pain and can’t sleep at night.
When all is equal to us, smiling at our troubles.
Smile in the face of hatred and in the face of infamy.
Smile to those who hurt us. Disarm contempt.
Smile, life is much more beautiful through a smile.
Dare to take your pain away with a simple smile.
Smile even when love comes to break our hearts.
Smile at our weaknesses and face our mistakes.
Smiling is a medicine to soothe pain and give courage to face our fears.
Smile, life is much more beautiful through a smile.
Smile, yes even when facing death alone.
Smile through all the tears in your body.
Smile and if one day the life in you falls asleep, be sure that in our hearts you will smile again.
Smile, life is much more beautiful through a smile. Dare to take your pain away with a simple smile (2)”.
