La chanson du bon Dieu [English translation]

A simple thank you when you give directions

In the grey morning, the smile of a stranger

A perfume that stays long after she's gone

Like a gesture's end that life didn't plan for

A miserable dog following you on a sidewalk

With so much love, so much heart in his eyes

And staying there, right at your doorstep

Already aware that his life depends on you

And this is the song of the Lord

The one that makes your heart happy

Whoever sings it now and then

Will always have it for luggage

His hand on your shoulder, a stranger telling you

Life's no fun for sure, but it's life anyway

A simple coffee offered to you at a counter

A game of dice when it's so dark outside

And this is the song of the Lord

The one that makes your heart happy

Whoever sings it now and then

Will always have it for luggage

The call of a friend like an island in the silence

A few graffitis on a wall of indifference

Two or three chords, a guitar at the crossroads

So many things still hanging on as days go by

And this is the song of the Lord

The one that makes your heart happy

Whoever sings it now and then

Will always have it for luggage

And this is the song of the Lord

The one that makes your heart happy

Whoever sings it now and then

Will always have it for luggage
