Si tu me payes un verre [English translation]

If you buy me a drink I will ask you not

where you go, where you come from, if you've come out of prison

if your wife is pretty, or if you don't have one

if you hang around all alone with a broken heart..

I won't tell you anything, I will gaze at you

we will speak a few words, keeping our distance,

we will empty our glasses and I'll be on my way,

with a little of you(r story) to occupy my silence...

if you buy me a drink you could, if you want,

tell me of your life, by making a epic story

by making an opera.. I will join your play,

I'll will know (how) to put my self at your reach

I will reinvent a child's smile

I will make bouquets and decorations out of it

I will offer them to you while holding your hand

All you have to do is ask

If you buy me a drink, thirsty or not,

I will look at you like a brother,

A bit like Christ at his last meal

Like him I will tell two first truths:

you should learn to love yourself no matter how you look

and never judge another person, good or bad

If you buy me a drink, I wouldn't be angry with you

for being nothing at all, I am worthless

If you buy me a drink we will go to the end

you will be my friend at least for a few moments,

we will rebuild the world, oscillating but upright

Happy to discover if the earth is round

We are as drunk(round) as her (earth) and we feel fine.

you were searching for a voice that responds in the crowd

So pay for your drink and I will like you.

We will be the most happy betrayed men in the world
