[English]
Sing life, sing
As if you were to die tomorrow
As if nothing else mattered
Sing, yes sing
Love life, love
Like a thug, like a madman, like a dog
As if it were your last chance
Sing, yes sing
You can leave whenever you want
And you can sleep wherever you want
Dream of a girl
Take the Bastille
Or blow your money on gambling
But don't forget
Sing life, sing
As if you were to die tomorrow
As if nothing else mattered
Sing, yes sing
Party, celebrate
For a love, a friend, or nothing
To forget that it's raining on your vacation
Sing, yes sing
And you'll see that it's good
To let go of your reason
Climb out the windows
Walk on your head
To change traditions
But don't forget
Sing life, sing (sing, sing)
As if you were to die tomorrow
As if nothing else mattered
Sing, yes sing
Sing, sing, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
As if you were to
Climb out the windows
Walk on your head
Sing, yes sing
