The words “I carry you within me like a wounded bird” come from the French poet Louis Aragon, taken from his iconic poem "Il n’y a pas d’amour heureux". Written during the turmoil of the Second World War, the poem reflects on love marked by fragility, absence, and resistance. Over time, it became more than just literature: it was set to music and sung by Georges Brassens and later by Françoise Hardy, giving it a second life in the collective memory. The line still lingers, delicate and unresolved, like something left unsaid but deeply felt. We couldn’t resist turning it into an image.

Some words find their way into the bloodstream. This one brought a bird with it. We wanted to turn that sentence into something you could live with and hang in your space. Let it rest quietly on the wall, never shouting.

The woman in the image holds the bird like a secret. The colors? Warm, but not loud. Symbolic, but not solemn. It’s a piece about tenderness, about grief, maybe even love. We’re not here to explain it. We just made it, and honestly, we’re still thinking about it too.

There is no happy love
We never truly possess anything,
Neither our strength, nor our weakness
Nor our heart.
And when we open our arms
Our shadow is that of a cross.
And when we try to embrace
Happiness, we crush it.
Our life is a strange and painful divorce.
There is no happy love.


Like warriors who are now disarmed,
Having been groomed for greater glory –
Why bother getting up in the morning?
If we find ourselves in the evening
Still not knowing what we’re here for?
Repeat these words and hold back your tears.
There is no happy love.


My dear sweet love tears me apart;
I carry it inside me like a wounded bird.
And people don’t know, as they watch us go by,
That these words I have spun for you die
As soon as they meet your eyes.
There is no happy love.


It’s already too late to learn how to live,
Let our hearts mourn together at night.
For the least little song we pay with sadness
For each thrill we pay with regret
Even a sweet melody we pay with weeping.
There is no happy love.


There is no love without pain
There is no love that cannot be bruised
There is no love that cannot fade
Even the love of your country.
There is no love without tears.
There is no happy love.

But this love is ours; for both of us!

Louis Aragon, 1946
Translation, Dora and Patricia Daniel, 2015
