What do you want from la vie<\/strong><\/em> (life), and what do you not want from it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Zaz<\/strong>, a young French singer, knows very well what she doesn’t want:<\/span><\/p>\n

La Tour Eiffel<\/strong><\/em>? Not for her!<\/span><\/p>\n

A chauffeur-driven Limousine<\/strong>? \u00a0What is she to do with it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Just keep your luxurious mansions, your Chanel jewelry, your residential suites at the Ritz, and all of your money for that matter… Zaz only dreams of things she for certain knows no one obtains through the\u00a0latters: Only la vraie joie <\/em><\/strong>(true happiness), l’amour<\/strong><\/em> (love), and la bonne humeur<\/strong><\/em> (cheerful mood), c’est ce qu’il y a de vrai<\/strong><\/em> (that’s what truly matters.)<\/span><\/p>\n
