M'aimerais-tu Pareil

Would you love me the same if I were yellow or gray
If on a summer evening I forgot you in the rain
If by mistake I forgot your birthday
Or if I forgot to warm up your winter
Would you love me the same if I were more jealous
If when you go out alone I become a sorcerer
And when I look at other women you worry
Because I promised you would never be cold

Would you love me the same if I were a little smaller
If because of my job I was always away
And if for one night by clumsiness
I made love to you with less tenderness
Would you love me the same if I didn't have a scene
If when I decide to live it makes you sad
And when I watch your tears flow without saying a word
For fear of saying too much, maybe even doing too much

Would you love me the same when I tarnish your image
When I become too old, less young but wiser
When instead of helping you
I make you short of breath
Because my youth will have faded
Would you love me the same when I hurt everywhere
When I constantly complain, when I complain about everything
When life hurts
Which struggles to continue
Well, it's in your arms that I would want to surrender

Would you love me the same when I squander my savings
When on my deathbed before turning the page
I hold your hand to end my life
In the most beautiful hell, in the most beautiful night
Would you love me the same when I tell you I love you
For the last time until the last pain
In the longest of silences, I will tell you again
What will stop me and why I would be wrong

Would you love me the same when I am gone
When I let your tears flow without disdain
When I fall into old age, when I lose my mind
Well, there is only one thing I will never forget
That you would love me the same
