Lyrics and translation Carla Bruni - On serait seuls au monde (Live Olympia, Paris / Mars 2014)

On serait seuls au monde (Live Olympia, Paris / Mars 2014)

On serait seuls au monde
On jouerait à s'aimer
Toi tu serais la fille
Et moi le chevalier
Je ferais l'intrépide
Et toi la réservée
Je ferais le timide
Et toi la délurée
On serait seuls au monde
On jouerait à s'aimer
Tu ferais la charmante
Je ferai le charmé
Tu ferais la distante
Moi le désemparé
Tu ferais la brûlante
Moi je ferais l'inquiet
On serai rien que nous
On jouerait à l'amour
On se ferait sourire
On se jouerait des tours
On saura contourner
Des orages d'ennui
On dirait qu'on serait
Des amoureux transis
On dirait qu'on serait
Jamais toujours les mêmes
Jamais ceux qu'on croyait
Jamais ceux qui s'enchaînent
Jamais ceux qui se mentent
Qui se doivent des mots
Ceux pour qui ce n'est rien
De s'aimer tellement trop
On dirait qu'on serait
Comme des inventeurs
Comme des naufragés
Des noyés de douceur
Comme des assoiffés
Des jamais endormis
On dirait qu'on serait
Des amoureux à vie
On serait seuls au monde
On jouerait à s'aimer
Je serais tout à fait
Tel que tu me voudrais
Tu serais ma si douce
Je te prendrais la main
J'me glisserais sous ta jupe
Et toi tu n'dirais rien
J'me glisserais sous ta jupe
Et toi tu n'dirais rien

We Could Be Alone in the World (Live Olympia, Paris / March 2014)

We could be alone in the world
We would play at loving each other
You would be the girl
And I would be the knight
I would play the fearless
And you would play the reserved
I would play the shy
And you would play the daring
We could be alone in the world
We would play at loving each other
You would play the charming
I would be the charmed
You would play the distant
I would be the helpless
You would play the passionate
I would be the worried
We would be nothing but us
We would play at love
We would make each other smile
We would play tricks on each other
We would know how to avoid
The storms of boredom
It would seem like we were
Lovestruck lovers
It would seem like we were
Never always the same
Never the ones we thought we were
Never the ones who chain themselves down
Never the ones who lie to each other
Who owe each other words
Those for whom it is nothing
To love each other too much
It would seem like we were
Like inventors
Like castaways
Drowned in sweetness
Like those who are thirsty
Those who are never asleep
It would seem like we were
Lovers for life
We could be alone in the world
We would play at loving each other
I would be exactly
As you would like me to be
You would be my sweetness
I would take you by the hand
I would slip under your skirt
And you would not say a thing
I would slip under your skirt
And you would not say a thing
