Life has been unfaithful   And it all promised so so much   I am a relic   I am just a petrified cry   Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir   The applause nails down my silence      La tristesse durera   Scream to a sigh, to a sigh   La tristesse durera   Scream to a sigh, to a sigh      I see liberals   I am just a fashion accessory   People send postcards   And they all hope I'm feeling well   I retreat into self-pity, it's so easy   Where they patronize my misery      La tristesse durera   Scream to a sigh, to a sigh   La tristesse durera   Scream to a sigh, to a sigh      La tristesse durera   Scream to a sigh, to a sigh   La tristesse durera   Scream to a sigh, to a sigh      I sold my medal, it paid a bill   It sells at market stalls   Parades Milan catwalks   Oh, the sadness will never go   Will never go away   Baby it's here to stay      La tristesse durera   Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
