Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ainsi va la vie
Attention tu n'as pas le droit de manquer un instant de joie
Sois heureux jusqu'à en crever
Et pour l'âme immortelle, on verra si c'est vrai, non, non
On a beau faire et beau dire, mais chaque jour est un jour de sursis
Ainsi va la vie,
Sois heureux jusqu'à en crever
Oui, chaque jour est un jour de sursis, ainsi va la vie.

The lyrics assert that it is essential to live happily and passionately, even to the point of dying for it. The mention of the immortal soul implies that afterlife might reveal the truth about the significance and value of such joyful moments.
The second paragraph acknowledges that despite our efforts and words, every day of our lives is uncertain. It suggests that each day is lived as if it were a reprieve, a borrowed time. The lyrics reiterate the importance of not missing out on joyful moments, reinforcing the message that happiness should be embraced in every moment and without reservation. The line "Sois heureux jusqu'à en crever" means "Be happy until you burst."

Un de mes albums préférés au monde depuis gamine. Un concentré de philosophies de La Vie en un seul disque. Ce qui a forgé mon âme... Toute l'essence des hippies, des rainbows ❤️
@lucarnetrange
Je connaissais quelques chansons de Fugain mais j'ignorais complètement qu'il avait écrit autant de chansons qui reflètent assez bien les idées un peu utopistes des années 70. C'est vraiment à écouter pour se plonger dans l'état d'esprit de cette époque.

Tellement magnifique, ce très cher Fugain, il me semble revivre, lorsque j'étais mon adorable frère musicien, avec sa guitare, et toute notre famille, et c'était vraiment le bonheur. Merci.

A beautiful and evocative album which brings back my childhood days in Montguyon, Bordeaux, and Cap Ferret in the mid 70s. Fugain is an underrated genius.
