Lyrics and translation Johnny Rivers - If I Were a Carpenter

If I Were a Carpenter

IF I WERE A CARPENTER - Johnny Rivers
Se eu fosse carpinteiro
(T. Hardin) ' 1972
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady,
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
If a tinker were my trade,
Would you still find me,
Carrying the pots I made
Following behind me?
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love through sorrow.
I've given you my onliness.
Come give me your tomorrow.
If I worked my hands in wood,
Would you still love me?
Answer me, baby, yes, I would.
I'd put you above me.
If I were a miller at a mill wheel grinding,
Would you miss that pretty dress,
And those soft shoes shinin'?
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love through sorrow.
I've given you my onliness.
Come give me your tomorrow.
If I worked my hands in wood,
Would you still love me?
Tell me, baby, yes, I would.
I'd put you above me.
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady,
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have that baby?

Si j'étais un charpentier

SI J'ÉTAIS UN CHARPENTIER - Johnny Rivers
Si j'étais un charpentier
(T. Hardin) ' 1972
Si j'étais un charpentier et que tu sois une dame,
M'épouserais-tu quand même ?
Aurais-tu mon bébé ?
Si j'étais un réparateur,
Me retrouverais-tu quand même,
Portant les pots que j'ai faits
En me suivant ?
Sauve mon amour de la solitude
Sauve mon amour de la tristesse.
Je t'ai donné mon unique amour.
Viens me donner ton lendemain.
Si je travaillais le bois de mes mains,
M'aimerais-tu toujours ?
Réponds-moi, chérie, oui, je le ferais.
Je te mettrais au-dessus de moi.
Si j'étais un meunier à une roue de moulin qui tourne,
Est-ce que tu manquerais cette jolie robe,
Et ces chaussures douces qui brillent ?
Sauve mon amour de la solitude
Sauve mon amour de la tristesse.
Je t'ai donné mon unique amour.
Viens me donner ton lendemain.
Si je travaillais le bois de mes mains,
M'aimerais-tu toujours ?
Dis-moi, chérie, oui, je le ferais.
Je te mettrais au-dessus de moi.
Si j'étais un charpentier et que tu sois une dame,
M'épouserais-tu quand même ?
Aurais-tu mon bébé ?
M'épouserais-tu quand même ?
Aurais-tu ce bébé ?
