Lyrics
Si j’avais su t’aimer
Avec des habitudes
Des petits déjeuners
Au lit d’la solitude
Si j’avais su te dire
Avec exactitude
Ce qui me fait mourir
De tant d’incertitudes
Si j’avais su t’aimer
Comme on aime ce qu’on cache
Comme on voudrait prier
Pour que rien ne se détache
Si j’avais su t'écrire
Ce qu’il faut que tu saches
J’aurais étémoins pire
J’aurais étémoins lâche
J’aurais refuséd'être sage
J’aurais donnébien davantage
De lumière àton paysage
Si j’avais su Si j’avais seulement vu sur ton visage
Ce qu’il faut d’amour et de rage
Si j’avais su, si j’avais su te mettre ànu
Si j’avais su t’aimer
Avant de te connaître
Avant de t’oublier
J’aurais menti peut-être
Si j’avais su mentir
Mentir ou disparaître
Apprendre àdevenir
Une femme àla fenêtre
Si j’avais seulement vu sur ton visage
Ce qu’il faut d’amour et de rage
Si j’avais su, si j’avais su te mettre ànu
Si j’avais su t’aimer
Avant de te connaître
Avant de t’oublier
J’aurais brûléma lettre
Lyrics translation
If I knew I loved you
With habits
Breakfast
In bed of solitude
If I had known how to tell you
Accurately
What makes me die
So many uncertainties
If I knew I loved you
How we love what we hide
As we would like to pray
So that nothing comes off
If I had known how to write to you
What you need to know
I would have been worse
I should have been cowardly.
I would have refused to be wise
I would have given much more
Light to your landscape
If I knew if I only saw on your face
What it takes to love and rage
If I had known, if I had known how to put you to death
If I knew I loved you
Before I met you
Before I forget you
I might have lied.
If I had known how to lie
Lying or disappearing
Learning to become
A woman at the window
If only I had seen on your face
What it takes to love and rage
If I had known, if I had known how to put you to death
If I knew I loved you
Before I met you
Before I forget you
I would have burned my letter
