Why Do Some Win?

Versions: #1
She used to be one of those who are unnoticed
Who make waves only in their coffee
Nobody would see it, yes but lo
It's from the depths of her heart that she used to paint
 
Does life separate
The good guys from the bad guys from the get-go?
Why do some win
And others do not?
 
She used to be one of those who are barely noticed
Who are hunched over in the subways
She used to give time every week
To poor people without a job
 
Does life separate
The good guys from the bad guys from the get-go?
Why do some win
And others do not?
 
And who are the inferiors
Who are the greats?
In the eyes of whom
Do we really know?
Why do some win
And others do not,
And others do not?
 
She used to be one of those who are unnoticed
And the sea is calm in her coffee
She has departed1it's been two months
And if you're learning about it from me, sorry
 
Does life separate
The good guys from the bad guys from the get-go?
Why do some win?
 
And who are the inferiors
Who are the greats?
In the eyes of whom
Do we really know?
Why do some win
And others do not?

You Were There

Versions: #1
Sometimes people remember
And sometimes people blot out
No matter what they become
 
Me I used to be ladened with dreams
And you've given me the boldness
Every day reminds me of it
 
We shouldn't forget our joys
No we shouldn't forget our times
 
Take it, my enchanted song
I could have given up
But you were there
Take it, my enchanted song
I could have given up
But you were there
You were there
 
It hasn't always been wonderful
I've experienced winds and ice
And suddenly the snake that wakes up
 
You may well laden yourself with dreams
You must make room for them
And bad people shut them away
 
But we shouldn't forget the nice people
Never
No, we shouldn't forget the road
 
Take it, my enchanted song
I could have given up
But you were there
Take it, my enchanted song
I could have given up
But you were there
You were there
 
You were there
You were there
You were there
You were there
You were there
You were there
You were there
You were there
You were there
You were there
You were there
You were there
 
[We should never forget those who gave us a hand right from our first steps, never forget where we come from.
And especially, I say to all the people I love, to all the people who have supported me until now, that I will always be there for them, that I will always support them.]1
 

• 1. This is the of the non-literal translation in French given by the artist during the live concert.

You were there

People sometimes remember
And people sometimes forget
No matter what they become
 
I took dreams upon myself
And you gave me the nerve
Every day reminds me of it
 
We should not bury our pleasures
Nor should we bury our hours
 
Take my enchanted song
I could have let it go
But you were there
Take my enchanted song
I could have abandoned it
But you were there
You were there
 
There were nothing but wonders
I have been through winds and glaciers
And suddenly the snake that woke up
 
You may as well take charge of dreams
Space must be made for them
And bad people shut them away
 
But we must not forget about the good people
Never
Nor forget about the path we were on
 
Take my enchanted song
I could have let it go
But you were there
Take my enchanted song
I could have abandoned it
But you were there
You were there
 
You were there
You were there
You were there
You were there
You were there
You were there
You were there
You were there
You were there
You were there
You were there
You were there
