Is there any happiness left
Or is the jar empty
Is there any happiness left
Or are we just too clear-eyed
Is there any happiness left
Even just some scraps
Even faint glimmers
Even for a couple minutes
Is there any happiness left
That others dump
Over a minor scratch
Past its prime
Is there any happiness left
Like you see on the street
A refrigerator
Nobody wants anymore
Is there any happiness left
Even only pieces
Is there any happiness left
At least enough for us
Is there any happiness left
Buried deep
We wrongly thought
Gone forever
Among the trash cans
Like you find on the street
Christmas trees
Once January's here
Is there any happiness left
Maybe it's my fault
I should've put it away
On the top shelf
A few minor shards
Relics from another time
Polaroids in color or black-and-white
Is there any happiness left
Like you see on the street
A refrigerator
Nobody wants anymore
Is there any happiness left
Even only pieces
Is there any happiness left
At least enough for us
Is there any happiness left
Is there any happiness left
Is there any happiness left
Is there any happiness left
Is there any happiness left
Happiness, happiness, happiness, happiness, happiness, happiness

SONG MEANING

Have you ever walked past a pile of discarded things on the sidewalk and wondered if something precious might still be hiding there? Reste-t-il du bonheur turns that simple, everyday scene into a poetic quest. With the insistent question “Is there any happiness left?”, Bénabar and Pascal Obispo rummage through life’s metaphorical trash cans, picturing abandoned refrigerators, wilted Christmas trees, and dusty Polaroids. Each image suggests scraps of joy that people have tossed aside once they stopped looking shiny, asking whether a few glowing embers of delight might still be salvaged.

Underneath the playful scavenger-hunt tone lies a gentle reminder: happiness does not always arrive brand-new or perfectly packaged. Sometimes it hides in half-forgotten memories, minor scratches, and time-worn moments we nearly threw away. The song invites us to open our eyes, sift through the rubble of routine, and gather whatever leftover sparks we can find—even just enough for us. In the end, it is a hopeful anthem that urges listeners to rediscover and cherish those modest, overlooked fragments of joy before they vanish for good.
