Translation of the song lyrics Si c'était à refaire - Dany Brillant

Si c'était à refaire (original)

Si c'était à refaire, oui, je le referais
Tu étais la première et c’est toi qui m’as fait
Si c'était à refaire, je recommencerais
Comme si c'était hier, comme si tout revenait
Je n'étais qu’un radeau sur la mer déchaînée
J’attendais un bateau qui pourrait me sauver
J’avais froid, j’avais faim, quand je t’ai vue au loin
Quand tu m’as fait monter à bord de ton voilier
Si c'était à refaire, oui, je le referais
Tu étais la première et c’est toi qui m’as fait
Si c'était à refaire, je recommencerais
Comme si c'était hier, comme si tout revenait
Tu m’as fait un festin, moi qui n’avais plus rien
Tu m’as tendu des fruits pour renaître à la vie
Tu m’as offert ton corps, ton cœur pour m’apaiser
Je suis devenu fort, j’ai appris à lutter
Si c'était à refaire, oui, je le referais
Tu étais la première et c’est toi qui m’as fait
Si c'était à refaire, je recommencerais
Comme si c'était hier, comme si tout revenait
Tu as cru en mon rêve, tu en as fait le tien
Tu me poussais sans cesse lorsque j’y croyais moins
Je t’ai pris ta jeunesse, je t’ai fait un enfant
C'était bien la promesse que l’on s’aimait vraiment
Si c'était à refaire, oui, je le referais
Tu étais la première et c’est toi qui m’as fait
Si c'était à refaire, je recommencerais
Comme si c'était hier, comme si tout revenait
Aujourd’hui, c’est fini mais tu restes en mon cœur
On a chacun sa vie et chacun son bonheur
Mais la première femme, c’est celle du destin
Et lorsque j’ai des larmes, c’est vers toi que je viens
Si c'était à refaire, oui, je le referais
Tu étais la première et c’est toi qui m’as fait
Si c'était à refaire, je recommencerais
Comme si c'était hier, comme si tout revenait.

(translation)

If I had to do it again, yes, I would
You were the first and you made me
If I had to do it again, I would do it again
Like it was yesterday, like it's all coming back
I was just a raft on the stormy sea
I was waiting for a boat that could save me
I was cold, I was hungry, when I saw you in the distance
When you took me aboard your sailboat
If I had to do it again, yes, I would
You were the first and you made me
If I had to do it again, I would do it again
Like it was yesterday, like it's all coming back
You made me a feast, I who had nothing left
You handed me fruit to come back to life
You offered me your body, your heart to appease me
I grew strong, I learned to fight
If I had to do it again, yes, I would
You were the first and you made me
If I had to do it again, I would do it again
Like it was yesterday, like it's all coming back
You believed in my dream, you made it yours
You kept pushing me when I didn't believe it
I took your youth, I made you a child
It was the promise that we really loved each other
If I had to do it again, yes, I would
You were the first and you made me
If I had to do it again, I would do it again
Like it was yesterday, like it's all coming back
Today is over but you remain in my heart
We each have our life and each our happiness
But the first wife is the one of fate
And when I have tears, I come to you
If I had to do it again, yes, I would
You were the first and you made me
If I had to do it again, I would do it again
Like it was yesterday, like everything was coming back.
