Et si tu n'existais pas [English translation]

And if you didn't exist ,

Tell me, why should I ?

To roam in a world without you,

Without hope and without regret.

And if you didn't exist,

I would try to invent love,

Like a painter, who sees, beneath his fingers,

the day's colors being born

and wonders about them.

And if you didn't exist

Tell me, why should I

Passing girls, asleep in my arms

That I would never love...

And if you didn't exist,

I would only be one other more dot

in this world, that comes and goes.

I would feel lost,

I would need you.

And if you didn't exist

Tell me, how could I.

I could pretend to be me

But it wouldn't be true.

And if you didn't exist,

I think I would have found

The secret of life, the "why",

Only to create you

And to look at you.

And if you didn't exist,

And if you didn't exist,

And if you didn't exist...
