IF THERE WERE NO YOU
                     --------------------
                  
If you did not exist 
Tell me why I would exist 
To wander in a world without you
Without hope and without regret 

    And if you did not exist 
    I would try to invent the love 
    As a painter who sees under his fingers
    The birth of the colors of a day
    And which does not return from there 

 
And if you did not exist 
Tell me for whom I would exist 
The passer-bies asleep in my arms 
Whom I would never love

    And if you did not exist 
    I would only be one more point
    In this world which comes and which goes 
    I would feel lost, 
    I would need you 


And if you did not exist
Tell me how I would exist 
I could pretend to be me
But I would not be true 

    And if you did not exist 
    I think that I would have found 
    The secret of life, and why to live
    Just to create you 
    And to look at you
