Et si tu n'existais pas [English translation]

And if you didn't exist

Tell me why would I exist

To hang around a world without you

Hopeless and remorseless

And if you didn't exist

I would try to create love

Like a painter who sees, on his fingers,

The colors of the day being born

And cannot believe it

And if you didn't exist

Tell me why would I exist

Flings1 asleep in my arms

That I would never love

And if you didn't exist

I would be nothing more than a 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 would I exist

I could pretend to be myself

But I would never be real

And if you didn't exist

I believe I would find

The secret of life, the reason

Only to create you

And be able to look at you

And if you didn't exist

Tell me why would I exist

To hang around a world without you

Hopeless and remorseless

And if you didn't exist...

And if you didn't exist...

And if you didn't exist...

And if you didn't exist...
