LYRICS
Here’s To Life by Molinary/Butler
No complaints and no regrets
I still believe in chasing dreams and placing bets
But I have learned that all you give is all you get
So you give it all you've got
I had my share, I drank my fill
And even though I'm satisfied, I'm hungry still
To see what's down another road, beyond a hill
And do it all again
So here's to life
And every joy it brings
Here's to life
To dreamers and their dreams
Funny how the time just flies
How love can go from warm hellos to sad goodbyes
And leave you with the memories you've memorized
To keep your winters warm
But there's no yes in yesterday
And who knows what tomorrow brings, or takes away
As long as I'm still in the game, I want to play
For laughs, for life, for love
So here's to life
And every joy it brings
Here's to life
To dreamers and their dreams
May all your storms be weathered
And all that's good get better
Here's to life
Here's to love
And here's to you
May all your storms be weathered
And all that's good get better
Here's to life
Here's to love
And here's to you

Here's to Life
Shirley Horn
Aucune plainte et aucun regret
Je crois toujours en la poursuite des rêves et en plaçant des paris
Mais j’ai appris que tout ce que vous donnez, c’est tout ce que vous obtenez.
Alors donnez tout ce que vous avez
J’avais ma part
J’ai bu mon plein
Et même si je suis satisfait
J’ai encore faim
Pour voir ce qu’il y a sur une autre route
Au-delà de la colline
Et recommencez
Alors voici la vie
Et toute la joie qu’il apporte
Alors voici la vie
Aux rêveurs et à leurs rêves
C’est drôle comme le temps passe vite
Comment l’amour peut passer de bonjours chaleureux à des adieux tristes
Et laissez-vous avec les souvenirs que vous avez mémorisés
Pour garder vos hivers au chaud
Car il n’y a pas de oui hier
Et qui sait ce que demain apportera ou enlèvera
Tant que je suis encore dans le jeu
Je veux jouer
Pour rire, pour la vie, pour l’amour
Alors voici la vie
Et toute la joie qu’il apporte
Voici la vie
Pour les rêveurs et leurs rêves
Que toutes vos tempêtes soient surmontées
Et tout ce qui est bon s’améliore
Voici la vie
Ici pour aimer
Voici pour vous
Que toutes vos tempêtes soient surmontées
Et tout ce qui est bon s’améliore
Voici la vie
Voici à aimer
Voici pour vous
