Hier encore, j'avais vingt ans Je caressais le temps et jouais de la vie Comme on joue de l'amour Et je vivais la nuit Sans compter sur mes jours qui fuyaient dans le temps J'ai fait tant de projet qui sont rests en l'air J'ai fond tant d'espoirs qui se sont envols Que je reste perdu ne sachant ou aller Les yeux cherchant le ciel mais le coeur mis en terre...

"Populace above, populace below! What are 'poor' and 'rich' at present! That distinction did I unlearn,—then did I flee away further and ever further, until I came to those kine." --Thus Spake Zarathustra / Friedrich Nietzsche.
The great Elis Regina, singing Aguas de Março ("March Waters"), one of the best songs ever IMO.
Like all the greats (Virginia Woolf, Violeta Parra, Dalida, etc.) she figured out fairly early in life that existence is meaningless and killed herself with an overdose some time before her 37th birthday.
É pau, é pedra, é o fim do caminho É um resto de toco, é um pouco sozinho É um caco de vidro, é a vida, é o sol É a noite, é a morte, é um laço, é o anzol...

Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg. Je t'aime... moi non plus ("I Love You... Neither Do I"), from 1970 I think.
She: I love you... I love you... oh yes I love you He: Neither do I... She: Oh my love
He: Like a wave... indecisive I come, come and go Between your hips I come and I go Between your hips And then I stop
She: I love you... I love you... oh yes I love you He: Neither do I... She: Oh my love
She: You are the wave... I'm the naked island You go, go and come Between my hips You go and come Between my hips And I join with you
She: I love you... I love you... oh yes I love you He: Neither do I... She: Oh my love
He: Physical love... has no way out I come and I go and I come Between your hips I come and I go And then I stop
She: No! Now... come
* Yeah the vid doesn't fit the intention of the music... but it's the best quality available. In fact, the movie is about a gay men couple and how one of them falls in love with a woman but is incapable to have frontal sex with her. So they can only have anal sex, and that's why the word used in French, "reins," which could be translated as "hips," is in fact the lower back, where the kidneys (reins) are.

An old Italian song, Amami stasera (se lo vuoi) ("Love Me Tonight (If You Want To)"), made famous in English by Tom Jones in the 60s, interpreted by the giant orchestra of the maestro Werner Muller.
