Ça va, ça vient [English translation]

Say it to me

Say it to me if you feel lonely

In the middle of the crowd

When nothing touches your heart anymore

Say it to me

Say it to me if it hurts too much

You've been so let down

That you say that hurting is normal

You know it1, in life we've all screwed up

It's true, how many times have we had to get up

No one's perfect, we've all strayed from the path

You know, in life, it comes, it goes2

It comes, it goes

It comes, it goes

It comes, it goes

It doesn't take much3

Say it to me, say it to me again

"It comes, it goes

It comes, it goes"

It doesn't take much

All things considered, it's all good

Say it to me, say it to me

If nothing makes sense anymore

If you don't have faith anymore

Nothing left to give

Say it to me, say it to me

If you've tried everything, you've given everything a go

Hoped that your world changes

You know, in life we've all screwed up

It's true, how many times have we had to get up

No one's perfect, we've all strayed from the path

You know, in life, it comes, it goes

It comes, it goes

It comes, it goes

It comes, it goes

It doesn't take much

Say it to me, say it to me again

"It comes, it goes

It comes, it goes"

It doesn't take much

All things considered, it's all good

We're not OK now, so

We're not OK4

We're not OK now, in reality

We're doing so well

We're not OK now, so we're not Ok5

We're not OK now, in reality

We're doing so well6

You know in life, it comes, it goes

It comes, it goes

It comes, it goes

It comes, it goes

It doesn't take much

Say it to me, say it to me again

"It comes, it goes

It comes, it goes"

It doesn't take much

All things considered, it's all good

We're not OK now, so

We're not OK

We're not OK now, in reality

The source lyrics are incorrectly transcribed as "On est pas bien là, en vrai", but should read:

"On est pas bien là, alors

On est pas bien"
