Lyrics and translation Chris Rea feat. Elton John - If You Were Me

If You Were Me

If you were me
And I was you
If you had to play my part out
What would you do
Two crazy stories,
Two different views
If you were me
And I was you
If you were me
And I was you
What kind of crazy things
Would I have to do
Who likes to party
Who stays at home
If you were me
And I was you
Never like strangers
Though never the same
Two circus side-shows
And laughter in the rain
You stay with the full moon
You search for the stars
Thank God it's heaven
Here we both are
If you were me
And I was you
If you had to play my part out
What would you do
Two crazy stories,
Two different views
If you were me, if you were me
If you were me and I was you

Si tu étais moi

Si tu étais moi
Et si j'étais toi
Si tu devais jouer mon rôle
Que ferais-tu ?
Deux histoires folles,
Deux points de vue différents
Si tu étais moi
Et si j'étais toi
Si tu étais moi
Et si j'étais toi
Quelles sortes de choses folles
Aurais-je à faire ?
Qui aime faire la fête
Qui reste à la maison
Si tu étais moi
Et si j'étais toi
Jamais comme des inconnus
Bien que jamais les mêmes
Deux spectacles de cirque
Et des rires sous la pluie
Tu restes avec la pleine lune
Tu cherches les étoiles
Dieu merci, c'est le paradis
Nous sommes tous les deux ici
Si tu étais moi
Et si j'étais toi
Si tu devais jouer mon rôle
Que ferais-tu ?
Deux histoires folles,
Deux points de vue différents
Si tu étais moi, si tu étais moi
Si tu étais moi et si j'étais toi
