Lyrics
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, give me your tomorrow.
Si j'étais un charpentier, si tu t’appelais Marie
Voudrais-tu alors m'épouser 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 àfaire.
Si j'étais un charpentier, si tu t’appelais Marie
Voudrais-tu alors m'épouser et tout recommencer?
Prends l’amour que je te donne, tu dois être forte.
Quand notre fils sera un homme, il aura beaucoup àfaire.
Prends l’amour que je te donne, tu dois être forte.
Quand notre fils sera un homme, il aura beaucoup àfaire.
Beaucoup àfaire.
Lyrics translation
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 online, give me your tomorrow.
If I were a carpenter, if your name was Mary
Would you then marry me and bear our child?
My house would not 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, he will have much to do.
If I were a carpenter, if your name was Mary
Would you then marry me and start all over again?
Take the love I give you, you must be strong.
When our son is a man, he will have much to do.
Take the love I give you, you must be strong.
When our son is a man, he will have much to do.
A lot to do.
