Le genre de danse

Qu'est-ce que tu fais cherie? mon amour?
You're gambling a lot; lady luck won't play fair evermore
Tu n'a pas de choix, non, pas de tout
all is decided
and none by you
Gamble with chance, with fate and desire:
you'll lose, and live your days alone by the fire
Don't tell him - don't hint it don't write it in song
be glad that you have: be glad all along
go back to nothing if you must (if you can)
but don't cry for the moon if the stars fill your hands
So I see you won once, but aren't pleased with your lot;
c'est une vie incomplet, if you can't appreciate what you've got
c'est la vie, ma cherie, le genre de danse
as you flee, all I say,
au revoir
et bonne chance.
