Si tu pouvais vivre ta vie [ les regrets] [English translation]

Just like a sun at.your window,

You're watching your own life go by..

When one only lives for maybes,

Only deep regrets can follow...

Yet if your heart tells you to go,

Your common sense tells you to stay,

But one must make a choice, one day,

Or live with the head bowing low.

If you could live your own true life,

You could be courageous enough

To invent a dream life for yourself

and stop that wrecking of your life.

If you could live your own true life,

You would try plenty of other ways

To feel again that you're alive

and dispel all your boring days.

If you wished to live your own days,

If you wished to live only love.

You knew him when you were too young,

You loved him a bit too early.

Then, the children came rapidly,

You were so proud, they were handsome.

But when routine starts taking hold,

and that time tires and wearies

us, we contrive some apologies

and we feel that we're getting old.

If you could live your own true life,

I would tear off your solitude,

To invent for you some second life

made of adventures, hopes renewed.

If you could live your own true life,

We would live it as others do,

live to the full, a forest fire,

to feel again alive, us two.

If you wanted to live other days,

If you wanted to live true love.
