Si j'étais quelqu'un [English translation]

If I were someone

My spirit would be the king

Like the others

I would look to take a train

If I were someone

I would disappear far into life

I would disappear far into life

If I were someone

I would laugh often

Like the others

I would think of you

If I were someone

Love would play me journeys

My look would shine

In your happy madness

The kiss would exhale among the flowering trees

The angels would jump with joy

As if to catch their hears

Suspended from an infinite level

Oh if I were someone

If I were someone

If I were someone

I would be on a cloud

Like the others

I would sleep like a wise-woman

If I were someone

Black or white

Like the others

I would be like you

I would rediscover the world

I would paint it in my own way

On my disordered pages

As if to draw a balloon

Which I send to throw in your face

Which I send to throw in your face

Of if I were someone

If I were someone

I would love passionately

Like the others

If I were someone

Like the others....someone

Like the others
