Pour le plaisir

Without expecting anything
But for the pleasure
Watching a girl in the street and saying to oneself
That she is beautiful

Without even going further
But for the pleasure
Simply passing by and smiling at her

For the pleasure
Taking the time from time to time
To turn a man back into a child
And be amazed
For the pleasure
Offering oneself what is priceless
A little dream in our life
And pleasing
For the pleasure

No longer bending one's back
Even to succeed
Preferring to feel good in one's skin
Than smiling on command

Having for months
Worked like crazy
And one evening blowing it all at once

Yes, for the pleasure
No longer running, no longer counting
Taking life from the bright side
Without thinking
For the pleasure

For the pleasure
One can also mess everything up
Make suffer as one has suffered
And return
For the pleasure

Forgetting that we once said
"Love words are useless"
And saying them to you
For the pleasure
