Louis Aragon - There is no happy love <br /> <br />Man never truly possesses anything <br />Neither his strength, nor his weakness, nor his heart <br />And when he opens his arms <br />His shadow is that of a cross <br />And when he tries to embrace happiness <br />He crushes it <br />His life is a strange and painful divorce <br /> <br />There is no happy love <br /> <br />His life resembles those soulless soldiers <br />Who have been groomed for a different fate <br />Why should they rise in the morning <br />When nighttime finds them disarmed, uncertain <br />Say these words and hold back your tears <br /> <br />There is no happy love <br /> <br />My beautiful love, my dear love, my torn heart <br />I carry you in me like a wounded bird <br />Those who unknowingly watch us walk by <br />Repeat after me my words and sigh <br />They have already died in your bright eyes <br /> <br />There is no happy love <br /> <br />By the time we learn to live <br />It's already too late <br />Our hearts cry in unison at night <br />It takes many a misfortune for the simplest song <br />Many regrets to pay for a thrill <br />Many a tear for a guitar's melody <br /> <br />There is no happy love <br /> <br />There is no love which is not pain <br />There is no love which does not bruise <br />There is no love which does not fade <br />And none that is greater than your love for your country <br />There is no love which does not live from tears <br /> <br />There is no happy love <br />But it is our own love
