Is life bitter? All the faces of the years, Young and old, are gray with travail and with tears, Must we only wake to toil, to tire, to weep? I refuse to fall asleep, It's time to live another way, Wake us! I don't want falling slowly and rest me, I prefer to take off with real love's rocket, and to disappear surrounded by stars I choose to remember myself, The primroses, the orchids, the snowdrops and the roses ! The dream that comes, The wish that goes, The memories that follow ! I want, Just cry what is necessary, To shout up to the sky and under the ground, Up to China and more the unchained seas, To be more crazy than our society's reason who hides behind silence to say No, rather than assert Yes with courage, I wish, To dream with my voice, with all the leaps of my lips, with my whole heart, To hope with my breath, with my soul, with all my body, To love true beyonds my limits, before the darkness turn the light. As wrote it the poet: "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul"
