Eurovision 1986 Belgium:
Sandra Kim - "J'aime la vie"
J'aime la vie
Je vois des gens courber le dos
Comme si la vie marquait zéro
Moi, j'ai quinze ans et je te dis
Whoa whoa… j'aime la vie
(J'aime la vie – la vie, toute la vie)
Il faut y croire, j'ai moi aussi
Des flashs d'espoir, des insomnies
Mais au total, à l'addition
J'aime l'horizon
J'aime, j'aime la vie
(Même si c'est une folie)
J'aime, j'aime la vie
(Bravo pour le défi)
J'aime, j'aime la vie
Ne m'en veuillez pas
Je suis née comme ça
J'aime, j'aime la vie
Whoa… et tant pis
S'il pleut un peu beaucoup sur moi
Whoa whoa… tu es là
Devant Jacques Brel, devant Mozart
Je m'sens petite, j'ai le cafard
Je ne suis rien qu'une poussière
Dans cet univers
(C'est la vie – la vie, toute la vie)
Mais dès qu'tu m'aimes, dès qu'tu souris
Mes joies s'enchaînent à l'infini
Y a plus de Brel, plus de Mozart
Ma vie redémarre
J'aime, j'aime la vie
(Même si c'est une folie)
J'aime, j'aime la vie
(Bravo pour le défi)
J'aime, j'aime la vie
Ne m'en veuillez pas
Je suis née comme ça
J'aime, j'aime la vie
Tant pis s'il pleut un peu sur moi
J'aime, j'aime la vie
(Même si c'est une folie)
J'aime, j'aime la vie
(Bravo pour le défi)
J'aime, j'aime la vie
Ne m'en veuillez pas
Je suis née comme ça
J'aime, j'aime la vie
(Même si c'est une folie)
J'aime, j'aime la vie
(Bravo pour le défi)
Pour les jours qui n'vont pas
J'ai un truc à moi
Je compte sur toi
J'aime, j'aime la vie
Whoa… et tant pis
S'il pleut un peu beaucoup sur moi
Whoa whoa… lа vie – oui, tu eѕ là
I love life
I see people bowing their back
As if life was a zero
I'm fifteen and I tell you
Whoa whoa… I love life
(I love life – life, the whole life)
You have to believe in it, I also have
Flashes of hope, of insomnia
But in total, on the bill
I love the horizon
I love, I love life
(Even if it's madness)
I love, I love life
(Bravo for the challenge)
I love, I love life
Don't hold it against me
I was born that way
I love, I love life
Whoa… and no matter
If it rains a bit much on me
Whoa whoa… you're there
Compared to Jacques Brel, to Mozart
I feel so small, I've got the blues
I'm just a speck of dust
In this universe
(That's life – life, the whole life)
But as soon as you love me, as soon as you smile
My joy goes on forever
There's no more Brel, no more Mozart
My life begins again
I love, I love life
(Even if it's madness)
I love, I love life
(Bravo for the challenge)
I love, I love life
Don't hold it against me
I was born that way
I love, I love life
No matter if it rains a bit on me
I love, I love life
(Even if it's madness)
I love, I love life
(Bravo for the challenge)
I love, I love life
Don't hold it against me
I was born that way
I love, I love life
(Even if it's madness)
I love, I love life
(Bravo for the challenge)
For those days when things don't work out
I have something to fall back on
I'm counting on you
I love, I love life
Whoa… and no matter
If it rains a bit much on me
Whoa whoa… life – yeѕ, you аre there
Crazy of Life
I see the people who've let go
As if their life's a big zero
I'm only fifteen and I know
Whoa whoa… cherish life
(Cherish life, oh, cherish your life)
You must believe me, I have too
A flash of hope, some white nights too
But after all, the sun for me will always shine
Crazy, crazy of life
(Shout with all of your might)
Crazy, crazy of life
(Yes, you can win the fight)
Crazy, crazy of life from the very start
Deep in my heart
Crazy, crazy of life
No, I don't care if it rains on me all of the time
Whoa whoa… you are mine
I dream of Jacques Brel and Mozart
I feel so small, we're miles apart
So much to give, so much to share
As long as you're there
(Cherish life, oh, cherish your life)
He doesn't treat me like a child
The joy he brings me with his smile
Bye bye Jacques Brel, bye bye Mozart
'Cause here I go again
Crazy, crazy of life
(Shout with all of your might)
Crazy, crazy of life
(Yes, you can win the fight)
Crazy, crazy of life from the very start
Deep in my heart
Crazy, crazy of life
So what? – Let it rain on me
Crazy, crazy of life
(Shout with all of your might)
Crazy, crazy of life
(Yes, you can win the fight)
Crazy, crazy of life from the very start
Deep in my heart
Crazy, crazy of life
(Shout with all of your might)
Crazy, crazy of life
(Yes, you can win the fight)
When I'm feeling bad, I know what we have
And it makes me glad
Crazy, crazy of life
No… I don't care if it rains on me all of the time
Whoa whoa… my life – yeѕ, you аre mine
J'aime la vie
Ma perché vedi tutto in nero
Hai il sorriso sotto zero
Ho quindici anni e ti dico
Whoa whoa… j'aime la vie
(J'aime la vie – la vie, toute la vie)
Ma se ti credi, ho anch'io
Un giorno blù, un giorno grigio
Ma il totale della vita sono felice
J'aime, j'aime la vie
(Ma è una follia)
J'aime, j'aime la vie
(Bravo per la tua sfida)
J'aime, j'aime la vie
Non è colpa mia
Sono nata così
J'aime, j'aime la vie
Whoa… e quando piove, piove su di me
Whoa whoa… ma dove sei?
Davanti Brel o Paganini
Ho la paura dei bambini
Mi sento come una formica in questa vita
(C'est la vie – la vie, toute la vie)
Quando mi ami, mi sorridi
Le miei gioie sono infiniti
Addio Brel e Paganini, potrei volare
J'aime, j'aime la vie
(Ma è una follia)
J'aime, j'aime la vie
(Bravo per la tua sfida)
J'aime, j'aime la vie
Non è colpa mia
Sono nata così
J'aime, j'aime la vie
Anche se piove su di me
J'aime, j'aime la vie
(Ma è una follia)
J'aime, j'aime la vie, whoa…
(Bravo per la tua sfida)
J'aime, j'aime la vie
Non è colpa mia
Sono nata così
J'aime, j'aime la vie
(Ma è una follia)
J'aime, j'aime la vie
(Bravo per la tua sfida)
Se qualcosa non fa una soluzione
Conto su di te
J'aime, j'aime la vie
Whoa… e quando piove, piove su di me
Whoa whoa… lo ѕai – vado dа te
