[ocean island]

First, here's the song: with lyrics: https://www.letras.com/carla-bruni/jarrive-toi/

No guarantee that the transcription is accurate, though.

Second, some phrases I'm struggling with:

Et s'il arrive qu'une étoile
Sur nous se penche un instant
And should it happen that a star hangs over us for an instant

C'est sur qu'la vie nous dévale
It is certain that life will hurtle us down (?)

C'est sur qu'elle nous entreprend
That she will begin us (?)

Et s'il arrive que je chante que je me laisse emporter
And it should come that I should sing,
that I should let myself get carried away

C'est sur qu'la vie nous tourmente
It’s certain that life will torment us

C'est sur qu'on goute aux regrets
It is certain that we will taste regret
