Je ne vivrai pas sans toi [English translation]

Even if you no longer feel a thing

Know that my fingertips

Carry the scent of your skin

From when you and I were one

And that it’ll take more than a few bucketfuls of words

To take all that away, to wash all that away

Emma written without an “a”

It’s hard to write an “a”

With a Stanley knife on the skin 1

I’m so cold, hug me rather

Than thinking about that

That I wanted to die for you

Emma written without the “a”

It’s hard to write an “a”

The “m” flows so nicely

The “e” is a piece of cake

Refrain:

I won’t live no

I won’t live no

I won’t live without you

Sure I’m not too handsome

Since the ghost of your shadow

Turned its back on me

I’m not at all sure that I’ll bring you back by

Writing your name with a Stanley knife on my arm

Why didn’t you hug me enough

Little sister little flower

To make my heart burst with happiness

You never heard it screaming

At life, my heart, at life, my heart

Emma written without the “a”

It’s hard to write an “a”

The “m” flows so nicely

The “e” is a piece of cake

Refrain x2

I left my corpse right in your path

I wanted so much that it touched you a bit, all these drops

Slipping from my hands like a red lace a little carriageway

Towards nothing at all, towards nothing at all

You spat my name into the wind

And then your little hands hid your little teeth

And then you cried and then you cried out

What have you done, you screamed, what have you done

I was afraid to see you so frightened

Little sister little flower

In front of my shredded body

Life is so precious it seems but

Refrain x2

These are nothing but a few scratches

I wasn’t really that sure

About dying this time

About dying for you

Emma written without the “a”

It’s hard to stab out an “a”

With a Stanley knife on the arm

Chorus

1. This is by far the most common name for this type of knife in British English but Americans may prefer 'box cutter'.
