Life Is Sad (Tout s'en va / English Version 1)

Life is sad, love's a curse I've watched all over from bad to worse Without a cause your faith in me wavers And love loses flavor Eva, Eva Eva, Eva after all this time I still recall our love, and taste its summer wine In youth you brought to me your heart a budding rose Each morning sun would find you lying there before me Eva, Eva vivid memory I'd see you run across the fields to come to me Your skin was fresh and sweet, its essence was of dew And when we softly kissed... but that's another story Life is sad, love's a pain You want to leave, not come back again You pack your bag your voice is so trembly Our love augurs dimly Emily, Emily Emily, Emily, where are you today? You used to hate the sun and come out nights to play You used to walk bare foot while dreaming in the rain I'd often speak and you'd not hear a word I'm saying Emily, Emily, with the wind blown hair At times a child, at times a woman Fine and fair So unpredictable, so foolish yet so wise And when our lips would meet but wait, my mind is straying Life is sad, love's unkind This time you'll leave, you'll not change your mind You say our love became a dull story It lost all its glory Laurie, Laurie Laurie, Laurie painful souvenir Who took the time to take my heart then disappear I gave my love to you, you tossed it to the wind And you were at the age I thought you'd be so grateful Laurie, Laurie time then soon erased The bitter food of love I once again would taste But I had gained from you I kept your souvenirs I learned that love's a word and happiness is fragile Life is sad, we're apart But spring will come and return my heart One day will die another takes wing Today I may cry, tomorrow I'll sing But this is the way of life The unending play of love
