Lyrics and translation Boy George - If I Were You

If I Were You

(The chance to live your life)
(The chance to live your life)

You live your life in desperation
I tried but could not break your will
Regret and endless conversation
It hurts to see you standing still

But if you had the chance to live your life again
Would you squander your beauty and intelligence
Take a look in the mirror now cause every word is true
I′d be afraid if I were U
If I were U

You pass the blame to those around you
Look in the mirror, face the truth
I tried to help, I tried to ground you
You had such beauty in your youth

(But if you had the chance to live your life again)
(Would you squander your beauty and intelligence)
(Take a look in the mirror now cause every word is true)
(I'd be afraid if I were U)

But if you had the chance to live your life again
Would you squander your beauty and intelligence
Take a look in the mirror now cause every word is true
I′d be afraid if I were U
If I were U

Si j'étais toi

(La chance de vivre ta vie)
(La chance de vivre ta vie)

Tu vis ta vie dans la désespoir
J'ai essayé mais je n'ai pas pu briser ta volonté
Le regret et la conversation sans fin
Ça fait mal de te voir rester immobile

Mais si tu avais la chance de revivre ta vie
Est-ce que tu gaspillerais ta beauté et ton intelligence
Regarde-toi dans le miroir maintenant parce que chaque mot est vrai
J'aurais peur si j'étais toi
Si j'étais toi

Tu rejettes la faute sur ceux qui t'entourent
Regarde-toi dans le miroir, affronte la vérité
J'ai essayé d'aider, j'ai essayé de te calmer
Tu avais tant de beauté dans ta jeunesse

(Mais si tu avais la chance de revivre ta vie)
(Est-ce que tu gaspillerais ta beauté et ton intelligence)
(Regarde-toi dans le miroir maintenant parce que chaque mot est vrai)
(J'aurais peur si j'étais toi)

Mais si tu avais la chance de revivre ta vie
Est-ce que tu gaspillerais ta beauté et ton intelligence
Regarde-toi dans le miroir maintenant parce que chaque mot est vrai
J'aurais peur si j'étais toi
Si j'étais toi
