Rire and envie

"Je suis comme je suis.  Je suis faite comme ça.  Quand j'ai envie* de rire.  Oui je ris aux éclats" Jacques Prévert

"I am like I am.  I am made like that.  When I long to laugh.  Yes I roar with laughter."

Literal translation:
"I am like I am.  I am made like that.  When I have longing* of to laugh.  Yes I laugh to bits."

envie - usually means envy, but in this case, it is longing

A song by Jacques Prévert, the rest of the lines here:
