Zazie - La Dolce Vita (English Translation)

We'll only have to do

Like everything was fine

If that's not real

That's ok



We'll only have to pretend

Even if we do without

Even if we do like

Our parents



Like a good little soldier, good disciple

Don't move. Don't raise

Your voice



That's La Dolce Vita

We must forget

This life we don't live

Yet, we promised each other



And here comes doubt and contempt

This is what our lives

Consist of



All it needed was a heart

Broken down

For the flame

To consume



A bit of love would have been enough again

For the flame

To rekindle



But La Dolce Vita

Is it possible that we forget

This life we don't live

Yet, that we promised each other?



Remember, what we wanted

Us, that’s love

Not bitterness and boredom

Remember, what we did

Us, that's love

Not this series of concessions



By way of love, here are we, side by side

So close but so distant

From each other



I live, you live with no joy, with no scream

I watch our slow

Death throes



Remember what we wanted so much

We would just have to believe in this again



Remember what we wanted so much

We would only have to want this again



Remember what we wanted so much

This was La Dolce Vita

Yet, we promised each other
