Lyrics and translation Elizabeth Cook - If I Had My Way, I'd Tear This Building Down

If I Had My Way, I'd Tear This Building Down

If I had my way.
If I had my way.
If I had my way, I would tear this building down.

If I had my way.
If I had my way.
If I had my way, I would tear this building down.

You read about Samson from his birth.
The strongest man that ever lived on Earth.
[...?] while he was walking along.
He looked on the ground and saw an old jaw-bone.
He raised that bone up above his head.
And when he through a thousand was dead.

Oh, if I had my way.
If I had my way.
If I had my way, I would tear this building down.

Samson and the lion got in attack.
Samson got on that lion's back.
You read this lion killed a man with his paw.
So Samson got his hands in the lion's jaws
And rode that lion till the beast fell dead.
Bees made honey in the lion's head.

Oh, if I had my way.
If I had my way.
If I had my way, I would tear this building down.

If I had my way.
If I had my way.
If I had my way, I would tear this building down.

If I had my way.
If I had my way.
If I had my way, I would tear this building down.

Si j'avais mon chemin, je détruirais ce bâtiment

Si j'avais mon chemin.
Si j'avais mon chemin.
Si j'avais mon chemin, je détruirais ce bâtiment.

Si j'avais mon chemin.
Si j'avais mon chemin.
Si j'avais mon chemin, je détruirais ce bâtiment.

Tu as lu l'histoire de Samson dès sa naissance.
L'homme le plus fort qui ait jamais vécu sur Terre.
[...?] alors qu'il marchait.
Il a regardé par terre et a vu une vieille mâchoire.
Il a levé cet os au-dessus de sa tête.
Et quand il a tué mille hommes.

Oh, si j'avais mon chemin.
Si j'avais mon chemin.
Si j'avais mon chemin, je détruirais ce bâtiment.

Samson et le lion se sont attaqués.
Samson s'est retrouvé sur le dos du lion.
Tu as lu que ce lion avait tué un homme avec sa patte.
Alors Samson a mis ses mains dans les mâchoires du lion.
Et il a chevauché le lion jusqu'à ce que la bête meure.
Les abeilles ont fait du miel dans la tête du lion.

Oh, si j'avais mon chemin.
Si j'avais mon chemin.
Si j'avais mon chemin, je détruirais ce bâtiment.

Si j'avais mon chemin.
Si j'avais mon chemin.
Si j'avais mon chemin, je détruirais ce bâtiment.

Si j'avais mon chemin.
Si j'avais mon chemin.
Si j'avais mon chemin, je détruirais ce bâtiment.
