That's how life lows*
It was a sad night
One of thousands
When that man came to see me to talk
And even if it was late
And people were waiting for me to dine
I knew that it was him I was waiting for
I saw him smile
I saw his eyes tell me
Drowned in a sigh
Stay by my side
I felt his heart
Vibrate at a hundred kilometres per hour
And suddenly, I was scared
When I heard them
Tell me...
You're making your life difficult
You're over-thinking it
There's something off about that guy
And he's broke
Come on, don't be silly
I beg of you, stop
I'm sure that he doesn't reflect
What he really is
That's how life lows
That's how life lows
That's how life lows
That's how life lows
That's how life lows
That's how life lows
That's how life lows
That's how
You, my pretty suburbanite
Don't grieve
We'll never be separated again
Admit that it's strange
To claim to be able to love
The unknown* and to be rocked
But I saw him smile
I saw his eyes tell me
That he'd love me to death
That he'd cherish me
I felt my heart
Vibrate at a hundred kilometres per hour
And I won't be scared anymore
When you tell me
You're making your life difficult
You're over-thinking it
There's something off about that guy
And he's broke
Come on, don't be silly
I beg of you, stop
I'm sure that he doesn't reflect
What he really is
That's how life lows
That's how life lows
That's how life lows
That's how life lows
That's how life lows
That's how life lows
That's how life lows
That's how life lows
You're making your life difficult
You're over-thinking it
There's something off about that guy
And he's broke
Come on, don't be silly
I beg of you, stop
I'm sure that he doesn't reflect
What he really is
That's how life lows
That's how life lows
That's how life lows
That's how life lows
That's how life lows
That's how life lows
That's how life lows
That's how

Translations of "Ainsi bas la vida"
English #1, #2
Comments
Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stand With Ukraine!
About translator
*The title is a play on words. "Bas" means "low", but it's also pronounced the same way as "va" (it goes) in Spanish.
This is how it would normally be in Spanish: "Así va la vida"
And in French: "Ainsi va la vie"
Trying to keep the play on words, I chose to use the word "lows" because it sounds like "goes" and has the same meaning as "bas".
*"L'inconnu" can mean "the unknown" or "the stranger".
