Si on m'avait dit [English translation]

I I had been told

That you are always a stranger

I would have, at any price,

Loved, so I would not have to regeret.

Thrown doves

A´t the hearts of the men at all the fronts.

I would have seen the world

To find my home easier.

And there beneath the trees

I would rest.

Who could better than me,

Make my life move on,

Say what a man has to,

(What a man has to)

Leave here.

Who could know better than me,

Reinvent my life,

Say how and why

(How and Why)

We stay here.

If I had been told,

That love can also lie,

I would have lived it anyways

And without holding me back,

For getting an answer (->being loved in return).

Even if the way

Seemed long,

Given to everyone

To find my home easier.

And there beneath the trees

I would rest.

Who could better than me,

Make my life move on,

Say what a man has to,

(What a man has to)

Leave here.

Who could know better than me,

Reinvent my life,

Say how and why

(How and Why)

We stay here.

And if I had known,

And if I had heard it all,

I wouldn't have seen anything.

I would have passed by the side.

Six feet under the trees

I would rest.

Who could better than me,

Make my life move on,

Say what a man has to,

(What a man has to)

Leave here.

Who could know better than me,

Reinvent my life,

Say how and why

(How and Why)

We stay here.
