[If I were somebody]

Si j′etais quelqu′un
Mon esprit serait roi, comme les autres
Je regarderais passer un train

[If I were somebody
My mind would be king, like the others
I would look a train passing by]

Si j′etais quelqu′un
Je partirais loin dans la vie
Je partirais loin dans la vie

[If I were somebody
I would go far in life
I would go far in life]

Et si j′etais quelqu′un
Je rirais souvent, comme les autres
Je penserais a toi

[And if I were somebody
I would laugh often, like the others
I would think about you]

Si j′etais quelqu′un
L′amour me jouerait des tours
Mon regard se donnerait a ton bonheur fou

[If I were somebody
Love would play me tricks
My view would abandon itself to your crazy happiness]

La bise soufflerait dans les arbres en fleurs
Les anges sauteront en folie
Comme pour attraper des coeurs
Suspendus a l′echelle de l′infini

[The North wind would blow in the trees in flowers
Angels will jump all in crazyness
Like to catch hearts
Suspended at the ladder of the infinite]

Oh si j′etais quelqu′un
Oh, si j′etais quelqu′un

[Oh if I were somebody
Oh, if I were somebody]

Si j′etais quelqu′un
Je serais dans un nuage, comme les autres
Je dormirais comme un sage

[If I were somebody
I would be in a cloud, like the others
I would sleep like a wise man]

Si j′etais quelqu′un
Noir ou blanc, comme les autres
Je serais comme toi

[If I were somebody
Black or white, like the others
I would be like you]

Je redecouvrirais le monde
Je le peindrais a ma facon
Sur mes pages en desordre
Comme pour dessiner un ballon
Que je t′envoies a la figure
Que je t′envoies a la figure

[I would re-discover the world
I would paint it as I please
On my pages in disorder
Like to draw a balloon
That I send you to the face
That I send you to the face]

Oh si j′etais quelqu′un

[Oh if I were somebody]

Si j′etais quelqu′un
Je t′aimerais passionnement, comme les autres
Si j′etais quelqu′un comme les autres

[If I were somebody
I would love you passionately, like the others
If I were someone like the others]

Quelqu′un comme les autres
Quelqu′un comme les autres
Quelqu′un comme les autres
Quelqu′un comme les autres
Comme les autres
Quelqu′un comme les autres

[Someone like the others
Someone like the others
Someone like the others
Someone like the others
Like the others
Someone like the others]
