Je suis venu au monde tres jeune dans un temps tres vieux

I am tired of always dying with a broken heart.

When I was young, people used to say to me: Wait until you're fifty, you'll see. I am fifty. I haven't seen anything.

My dream is to be played everywhere, not only at the Opera.

I am by far your superior, but my notorious modesty prevents me from saying so.
