Paroles et traduction Salvatore Adamo - Si tu étais

Si tu étais

Si tu étais la terre, moi je serais semeur
Tu serais ma moisson, ma loi
Et je mourais ravi de t′avoir vu en fleurs
M'endormant à jamais en toi

Car je n′existe que par toi, par toi
Si tu étais le temps, je serais sablier
Et tu t'égrainerais en moi
Si tu étais le vent, moi je serais voilier
Et je me gonflerais de toi
Si tu étais
Mais tu es plus encore mon amour
Tu es, tu es
Et tu remplis mes jours
Tu es de vie
Tu es d'amour
Tu es

Si tu étais la route et tes yeux l′horizon
Je te suivrais confiant, je serais vagabond
Pour épouser ta voix moi je serais chanson
Si tu étais l′émoi, je serais le frisson

Car je n'existe que par toi, par toi
Si tu étais la mer, moi je serais rivière
Et mes jours couleraient vers toi
Si tu étais pays mes bras seraient frontière
Et je ferais ma guerre pour toi
Si tu étais
Mais tu es plus encore mon amour
Toi tu es vraie
Et tu remplis mes jours
Tu es de vie, tu es d′amour
Tu es

If You Were

If you were the earth, I would be a sower
You would be my harvest, my law
And I would die enchanted to see you in bloom
Falling asleep forever in you

For I only exist through you, through you
If you were time, I would be an hourglass
And you would run out in me
If you were the wind, I would be a sailboat
And I would be filled with you
If you were
But you are even more my love
You are, you are
And you fill my days
You are of life
You are of love
You are

If you were the road and your eyes the horizon
I would follow you confidently, I would be a vagabond
To marry your voice, I would be a song
If you were the emotion, I would be the thrill

For I only exist through you, through you
If you were the sea, I would be a river
And my days would flow towards you
If you were a country, my arms would be the border
And I would wage my war for you
If you were
But you are even more my love
You are true
And you fill my days
You are of life, you are of love
You are
