Si j'étais un charpentier(original) |
| Si j'étais un charpentier |
| Si tu t’appelais Marie |
| Voudrais-tu alors m'épouser |
| Et porter notre enfant |
| Ma maison ne serait pas |
| Le palais d’un grand roi |
| Je l’aurais construite pour toi |
| Seul avec mes mains |
| Prends l’amour que je te donne |
| Tu dois être forte |
| Quand notre fils sera un homme |
| Il aura beaucoup à faire |
| Si j'étais un charpentier |
| Si tu t’appelais Marie |
| Mes mains seraient sèches et dures |
| Et les tiennes si fragiles |
| Les hommes et leur colère |
| Viendraient la nuit pour tuer |
| Nous fuirions dans le désert |
| Cacher le nouveau-né |
| Si j'étais un charpentier |
| Si tu t’appelais Marie |
| Voudrais-tu alors m'épouser |
| Et tout recommencer |
| (translation) |
| If I was a carpenter |
| If your name was Mary |
| Would you marry me then |
| And carry our child |
| My house would not be |
| The palace of a great king |
| I would have built it for you |
| Alone with my hands |
| Take the love that I give to you |
| You must be strong |
| When our son will be a man |
| He will have a lot to do |
| If I was a carpenter |
| If your name was Mary |
| My hands would be dry and hard |
| And yours so fragile |
| Men and their anger |
| Would come at night to kill |
| We would flee into the desert |
| Hide the newborn |
| If I was a carpenter |
| If your name was Mary |
| Would you marry me then |
| And start all over again |
