Ar, that's not right, he's already learning the lyrics: c'est une belle journee
A Beautiful Day
I'm going to sleep 4)
Such a beautiful day
Is coming to an end
It awakens the desire to love
But I'm going to sleep
I will enjoy eternity
To the fullest 5)
A beautiful day
I'm going to sleep
Such a beautiful day
The Master
It awakens the desire for peace
To see angels at my feet
But I'm going to sleep
I will make my escape 6)
Notes
4) In a 2005 interview with Thierry Demazure, Mylène mentioned that the line originally read "je vais me tuer," meaning "I will kill myself." However, out of fear of encouraging anyone to commit suicide, Mylène changed it to the version we all know.
5) Mordre la vie à pleines dents – to enjoy life (to the fullest). Mylène replaces "vie" (life) with "éternité" (eternity) in this idiom.
6) Se faire la belle – to make an escape, to run away (prison slang). Probably a double meaning: to die before getting old, i.e., to remain beautiful forever.
