    My high-school French has sadly vanished, but I don't need transalation to recognize a great poem!

    Merci beaucoup, or "mercy buckets" as we hillfolk might say...
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    ^^ I miss you precisely

    Sweet indeed, the idea of switching from the more restrained English to the more openly sentimental French. This reminded me somewhat of
    Je suis comme je suis
    Je suis faite comme ça
    Quand j’ai envie de rire
    Oui je ris aux éclats
    J’aime celui qui m'aime
    Est-ce ma faute à moi
    Si ce n’est pas le même
    Que j’aime chaque fois
    Je suis comme je suis
    Je suis faite comme ça
    Que voulez-vous de plus
    Que voulez-vous de moi

    (an excerpt) by Jacques Prevert which I have on a double album of songs sung by Germaine Montero
