For you, is this song more of a song or a poem?

Step into a vast, endless scene,
Hear the beating of your heart,
And there, turn indifference
Into laughter, and silence into tears.

One day a Don Juan in appearance,
A madman in Elsinore’s castle,
One day Lorenzo of Florence
Spilling his blood for the prompter.


To live and die in alternation,
To live and die in constant rotation.

There are legendary evenings
Where life is played in full,
Absolute triumphs
Where, after the bows,
You see the stage turned upside down.

There are grueling tours,
Corridors, cities without light,
Yet the lost smile
Of someone unknown…
And the curtain stays open.


To live and die in alternation,
To live and die in constant rotation.

To have one night pressed to your lips
The star, the best, the very first,
For so many nights when you go to bed
With another partner.

One day, a servant of insolence,
Suffering as the author willed,
Telling yourself that during those absences
Women "morned" elsewhere.


To live and die in alternation,
To live and die in constant rotation.

There are peculiar evenings
Where you wish to end like Molière,
But also cursed Tuesdays
And Thursdays
Where you don’t even want a cemetery.

There are fleeting ideas,
Rages, wishes, prayers,
Unexpected failures,
Being well aware
That the audience is a mystery.


To live and die in alternation,
Wearing a mask in constant rotation,
To live and die in alternation,
To live and die in constant rotation.

Michel Sardou
