The Frenchman told the tale of the unfaithful

It will always be there for some reason
Understanding life is not that difficult

Be patient and passive and get your kicks out of passion and irony
Slide through worries with devotion and harmony
This is the only way to be happy, to be aware and to stay sane
This is the only one because humanity will not accept the shame
We will never sit back quietly and take the blame

We are not supposed to be faithful yet somehow we manage to stay
At one home that kept us safe

And the sound of the fiddle that will never sooth a guilty call,
Will still carry the burden of the lost
The burden will weigh as heavy as the sum of it all
The burden will bring together the whole
The burden will put faith in the unfaithful soul
The burden will last, the Frenchman told us so.
