These are my English trans-lyrics for La vie passe from Le Roi Soleil. Finally almost finished all of the lyrics for the musical. I only have one song left not started on at all, and the rest are almost done!!!
I see faces passing me by I see regrets come and leave With all the dreams I’ve seen in this life I sat them to the side When I needed to dream
I’ve seen mirages vanishing Leaving then not seen again Somehow I’ve seen so many journeys End in shipwrecks at sea Before they could begin
Life goes by And I have not lived a day Life goes by I’ve walked through but never stayed Time goes by I can’t seem to make it wait And I forgot about love on the way
I’ve held back so many words inside I know that I should say But is it still courageous if I’m Unsatisfied with my Marks I’ve left on the page?
Life goes by And I have not lived a day Life goes by I’ve walked through but never stayed Time goes by I can’t seem to make it wait And I forgot about love on the way
I will not believe without doubt I will not believe that the road is closed now Closed once and for all now I want to see signs of a route Give myself the right only I can allow To abandon the crown
Life goes by Time presses Life goes by And I have not lived a day Out of sight
Life goes by And I want to live today Life goes by I want you to want to stay Time presses You know how to make wait Time ceases At least you’ll love on the way Time goes by And it can keep passing by Life goes by And I would like to spend my life with you
As I’ve said before, I fell in love with this musical after watching it in French class. Since I always take on more than I can chew, I decided to start up a song set for Le Roi Soleil as well~
Striked through song titles means that I have not written lyrics for those songs yet.
Bolded song titles means that I have written lyrics for that song and the link is available.
Note:I don’t plan on doing Requiem Aeternam as if the musical were ever performed in English, I’d imagine that they would still sing that song in Latin.
I have updated almost all of my Le roi soleil lyrics! I have a few left to update, but all but three have been updated! I also plan on working on the remaining songs once I finish updating the old ones.
