Lyrics and translation Alton Ellis - If I Could Rule The World
If
i
could
rule
this
whole
world,
Si
je
pouvais
gouverner
ce
monde
entier,
Then
all
men
would
be
free,
Alors
tous
les
hommes
seraient
libres,
Free
to
know
love,
and
it
knows
love
is
free,
Libres
de
connaître
l'amour,
et
l'amour
est
libre,
If
i
could
rule
this
universe,
Si
je
pouvais
gouverner
cet
univers,
Then
all
men
heart
would
be
clean,
Alors
le
cœur
de
tous
les
hommes
serait
pur,
For
some
feel
like
happiness,
Car
certains
pensent
que
le
bonheur,
Can
be
bought
for
a
fee,
Peut
s'acheter
pour
une
somme,
Let
me
say,
Laisse-moi
te
dire,
Never
on
a
counter
happiness
is
sold...
Le
bonheur
ne
se
vend
jamais
sur
un
comptoir...
If
i
could
rule
this
globe,
Si
je
pouvais
gouverner
ce
globe,
Then
love
would
fall
like
rain,
Alors
l'amour
tomberait
comme
la
pluie,
Fall
on
those
with
fortune
and
those
without
a
name,
Tomberait
sur
ceux
qui
ont
de
la
fortune
et
ceux
qui
n'ont
pas
de
nom,
Let
me
say,
Laisse-moi
te
dire,
Never
on
a
counter
happiness
is
sold,
Le
bonheur
ne
se
vend
jamais
sur
un
comptoir,
Never
in
this
world
happiness
is
sold,
Le
bonheur
ne
se
vend
jamais
dans
ce
monde,
Let
me
say,
Laisse-moi
te
dire,
I've
got
to
stay
in
slavery
in
this
world...
Je
dois
rester
en
esclavage
dans
ce
monde...
