Il faut savoir encore sourire
Quand le meilleur s'est retiré
Et qu'il ne reste que le pire
Dans une vie bête à pleurer
Il faut savoir, coûte que coûte
Garder toute sa dignité
Et malgré ce qu'il nous en coûte
S'en aller sans se retourner
Face au destin qui nous désarme
Et devant le bonheur perdu
Il faut savoir cacher ses larmes
Mais moi, mon cœur, je n'ai pas su
Il faut savoir quitter la table
Lorsque l'amour est desservi
Sans s'accrocher l'air pitoyable
Mais partir sans faire de bruit
Il faut savoir cacher sa peine
Sous le masque de tous les jours
Et retenir les cris de haine
Qui sont les derniers mots d'amour
Il faut savoir rester de glace
Et taire un cœur qui meurt déjà
Il faut savoir garder la face
Mais moi, je t'aime trop
Mais moi, je ne peux pas
Il faut savoir mais moi
Je ne sais pas
Charles Aznavour
One must know to still smile
When the best has pulled back
And all that is left is the worst
Of a stupid life crying
One must know cost what it may
Guard your dignity
And no matter what it costs
Go away without looking back
Face the fate that disarms us
And to happiness lost
One must know to hide the tears
But for me, my heart, I Didn't know how
One must know to leave the table
When love's no longer being served
Without attaching yourself, a pitiful air
But leave without making a noise
One must know to hide the pain
Under an everyday mask
And hold back the cries of hate
Which are the last words of love
One must know to remain like ice
And hush about a heart that is already dying
One most know to keep up appearances
But me, I love you too much
But me, I can not
One must know
But me, I do not know how
Charles Aznavour
You've got to learn to show a happy face
Although you're full of misery
You mustn't show a trace of sadness
Never look for sympathy
You've got to learn although it's very hard
The way of pocketing your pride
Sometimes face humiliation
While you were burning up inside
Facing reality is often hard to do
When it seems happiness is gone
You've got to learn to hide your tears
And tell your heart life must go on
You've got to learn to leave the table
When love's no longer being served
To show everybody that you're able
To leave without saying a word
You've got to learn to hide your sorrow
And go on living as before
What good is thinking of tomorrow
Who knows what it may have in store
You've got to learn to be much stronger
At times your head must rule your heart
You've got to learn from hard experience
And listen to advice
And sometimes pay the price
And learn to live with a broken heart.
