Et s'il fallait le faire [English translation]

If I had to do it

I would stop the earth

I would turn off the light

So that you stay asleep

If it had to be done to please you

Raising opposite winds

In a desert without life

I would find the sea

And if I had to do it

I would stop the rain

It would turn back

For the rest of our lives

And if I had to do it to please you

Listening to you every night

When you speak of love

I would speak of it too

So you still look into the depth of my eyes

So you still see in there the biggest of the biggest fires

And so your hand clings to my skin where it wants to

If you fly away one day

I would follow if I could

And if I had to do it

I would repel the winter

With hard blows of spring

And long clear mornings

And if I had to do it to please you

I would stop time

So all your words of yesterday stay with me now

So I still look into the blue of your eyes

So your two hands still get lost in my hair

I will make everything bigger

And if it’s too much or too little

I would be wrong all the time

If that’s what you want

I want to give everything

If only you believe in it

My heart does want to bleed

If only you see it

Until I’m nothing more

Than the shadow of your nights

Until I’m nothing more

Than a shadow that follows you

And if it had to be done…
