Si tu n'étais pas là [English translation]

If you weren't there

How could I live ?

I wouldn't know

This exhilarating happiness

When I am in your arms

My cheerful heart surrenders

How could I live

If you weren't there ?

Without wishing to, I am sometimes

Terribly anxious

Even one night without seeing you

Upsets me

You come back and suddenly

No more sadness

For you know how to

Stroke it away

If you weren't there

How could I live ?

I wouldn't know

This exhilarating happiness

When I am in your arms

My cheerful heart surrenders

How could I live

If you weren't there ?

The plans I make

Almost unceasingly

The beautiful nights when hope

Nourishes my dream

Our quite delightful torments

So far away from the world

You are the one to whom I owe

These deep delights

If you weren't there

How could I live ?

I wouldn't know

This exhilarating happiness

When I am in your arms

My cheerful heart surrenders

How could I live

If you weren't there ?
