Description
The words are repeated here like a mantra: “j'ai pas le bonheur.” And the more often they are heard, the more they sound like a spell of melancholy. The music rocks like a boat on the waves, and inside there is emptiness after the one who went swimming “without me.” It seems simple: a broken heart, loneliness, shadows of the past. But the further you go, the more you feel not tragedy, but a strange game with your own pain.
There is a slight irony in this: saying “there is no happiness” hundreds of times and almost laughing, because the denial already sounds like a chorus, like the familiar rhythm of everyday life. And in the finale, there is a chuckle, as if an admission: yes, there is no happiness, but you can still dance to this beat.
