Lyrics
Si j'Ã(c)tais un charpentier
Si tu t’appelais Marie
Voudrais-tu alors m'Ã(c)pouser
Et porter notre enfant
Ma maison ne serait pas
Le palais d’un grand roi
Je l’aurais construite pour toi
Seul avec mes mains
Prends l’amour que je te donne
Tu dois être forte
Quand notre fils sera un homme
Il aura beaucoup à faire
Si j'Ã(c)tais un charpentier
Si tu t’appelais Marie
Mes mains seraient sèches et dures
Et les tiennes si fragiles
Les hommes et leur colère
Viendraient la nuit pour tuer
Nous fuirions dans le dÃ(c)sert
Cacher le nouveau-né Si j'Ã(c)tais un charpentier
Si tu t’appelais Marie
Voudrais-tu alors m'Ã(c)pouser
Et tout recommencer
Lyrics translation
If I (C) shut up a carpenter
If your name was Mary
Would you like to put me down
And bear our child
My house wouldn't be
The palace of a great king
I would have built it for you.
Alone with my hands
Take the love I give you
You must be strong
When our son is a man
It will have a lot to do
If I (C) shut up a carpenter
If your name was Mary
My hands would be dry and hard
And yours so fragile
Men and their anger
Would come at night to kill
We would flee in the D (C) sert
Hide the newborn if I (C) shut up a carpenter
If your name was Mary
Would you like to put me down
And start all over again
