Текст песни Джо Дассен - если бы не ты

If, if not for you,
Tell me, why me then?
The world is empty and hateful to me without you
There is no hope in him for me.

If, if not for you,
Then I would invent love
How an artist carries to canvases
A sea of ​​fabulous flowers.
And every time - all over again.

If, if not for you,
Tell me, who am I then?
Strangers without life traits
I will not accept - only you.

If, if not for you,
I'd be a small dot;
In the future world, in the one that is frozen,
I would be lost even without strength,
I need your eyes so much!

If, if not for you,
Tell me, how did I then?
I would pretend to be myself
But it really wouldn't have been.

If, if not for you,
I believe that then I would find
The secret of life, its beauty,
For your image to bloom
And led me into the distance.
