Si je t'avais pas [English translation]

I would play the same harmonica

I would see the same tree over there

Would I be happy without you? Why not?

The mere thought of it chills me each time

If I didn’t have you

If I didn’t have you

What would I be, where would I be?

My home is right here

Exactly in your arms

I would have children, but not the ones here

Half me, but not half you

I would kiss, ‘like that,’ a little absent-mindedly

Not one time, not one, have we done that

If I didn’t have you

If it wasn’t you

What would I be, where would I be?

My country is you

Precisely in your arms

Don’t move

I belong with you

My shelter, my roof

I live in your arms

Here where your fingers caress me
