Et si tu n'existais pas [English translation]

If would you didn't exist,

Tell me why I would should exist ?

To wander alone in a world without you,

Without hope and without regret ...

And if would you didn't exist,

I would try to invent love.

As a painter, who sees from beneath his fingers,

how being born colours of the day.

And they not will recur.

And if would you didn't exist,

Tell me, for who I should exist ?

For passing girls, asleep in my arms,

Whom I would never loved.

And if would you didn't exist,

I would was only a dot in this world,

Which comes and goes.

I would feel lost.

I would was needs you ...

If would you didn't exist,

Tell me, how would I existed ?

I could be only similarity with myself,

But it would not I am as true.

And if would you didn't exist,

I think that I would have found secret of life,

For only: to create You.

And to gaze at you ...

If would you didn't exist,

Tell me why I would should exist ?

To wander along in a world without you,

Without hope and without regret ...

And if would you didn't exist,

I would try to invent love.

As a painter, who sees from beneath his fingers,

how being born colours of a day.

And they not occur again ...
