Bearing this in mind, tonight just before going to sleep, she discovered a beautiful song entitled &#8220;<em>Sourire<\/em>&#8221; [&#8220;<em>A Smile<\/em>&#8221; in English]. It is composed by Mr. Nicola Ciccone and she would like to share it with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As she could not find this song&#8217;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. <em>Google Translate<\/em> who never goes to sleep, kindly helped her :). You can find their quick English translation following the <em>Youtube<\/em> video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>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!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Nicola Ciccone - Sourire (clip officiel)\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ngM_mwCFF40?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em>Smile when you&#8217;re in pain and can&#8217;t sleep at night. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>When all is equal to us, smiling at our troubles. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Smile in the face of hatred and in the face of infamy. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Smile to those who hurt us.
