A quoi ça sert, l’amour?
by Edith Piaf

A quoi ça sert, l’amour? On raconte toujours Des histoires insensées A quoi ça sert d’aimer? L’amour ne s’explique pas! C’est une chose comme ça! Qui vient on ne sait d’où Et vous prend tout à coup. Moi, j’ai entendu dire Que l’amour fait souffrir, Que l’amour fait pleurer, A quoi ça sert d’aimer? L’amour, ça sert à quoi? A nous donner d’la joie Avec des larmes aux yeux… C’est triste et merveilleux! Pourtant on dit souvent Que l’amour est décevant Qu’il y a un sur deux Qui n’est jamais heureux… Même quand on l’a perdu L’amour qu’on a connu Vous laisse un gout de miel - L’amour c’est éternel! Tout ça c’est très joli, Mais quand tout est fini Il ne vous reste rien Qu’un immense chagrin… Tout ce qui maintenant Te semble déchirant Demain, sera pour toi Un souvenir de joie! En somme, si j’ai compris, Sans amour dans la vie, Sans ses joies, ses chagrins, On a vécu pour rien? Mais oui! Regarde-moi! A chaque fois j’y crois! Et j’y croirait toujours… Ça sert à ça l’amour! Mais toi, tu es le dernier! Mais toi’ tu es le premier! Avant toi y avait rien Avec toi je suis bien! C’est toi que je voulais! C’est toi qu’il me fallait! Toi que j’aimerais toujours… Ça sert à ça, l'amour!...

Ah, what use is love? You always hear silly stories, What good is being in love? Love cannot be explained, It’s not like that, It comes out of nowhere And hits you all at once. As for me, I’ve heard That love brings suffering, That love makes you cry, What good is being in love? What good is love? It brings you joy With tears in your eyes… It’s sad and wonderful! However people always say That love is deceiving That one of the two Is never happy… But even when one has lost it, A love that one has known Leaves you with a taste of honey - Love is eternal! All this is very pretty, But when all is said and done, You’re left with nothing But an immense sorrow… But all that seems to be Tearing you apart right now Will become a Joyful memory tomorrow. So essentially, if I understand correctly, Without love in your life, Without its joys and its sorrows, There is nothing to live for? Of course! Look at me! I’ve believed in it every time! And I will believe in it forever… That’s what love is for! As for you, you are the last! As for you, you are the first! Before I had you, I had nothing, With you I am complete. You’re what I want! You’re what I need! You’re the one I will always love... That’s what love is for!

Aawww~ Those are great lyrics. I love the simplistic style in the illustration, too.

[silversolitaire.livejournal.com]

Yes! I like that style, too. It's both simplistic and detailed at the same time! Like, you can totally tell this is France/Paris, even without the obvious reference in the end or when he pays for the caroussel ride... It's vey cute X3.
