Текст песни Joe Dassen - Et si tu n'existais pas

If you do not have with me
no soul at rest
It urges to follow you
every fleeting trace
If you do not have with me
in the most vivid colors of the day
not enough of any one
to draw me
alone with you

If there is no you
I better gulf away
other than not loving embrace
settling on the rocks
If there is no you
empty our dock
all wonders: what if he is loving
nothing shouted
during the trail you one

Without you in my life
where to find the rest and sleep
And how to survive in combat if you
devotedly in love with a dream
Without you in my life
lonely path
Beauty in a series of mirages
I go over it slipping
By watching you

If you do not have with me
no soul at rest
It urges to follow you
every fleeting trace
If you do not have with me
in the most vivid colors of the day
not enough of any one
to draw me
alone with you
