Que Serais-je Sans Toi

Jean Ferrat Jean Ferrat

What Would I Be Without You

What would I be without you who came to meet me
What would I be without you but a heart in hibernation
This hour stopped on the clock
What would I be without you but this stammering

I learned everything from you about human things
And now I see the world in your way
I learned everything from you like drinking from fountains
Like reading in the sky the distant stars
Like the passerby who sings, we resume his song
I learned everything from you down to the shiver's meaning

What would I be without you who came to meet me
What would I be without you but a heart in hibernation
This hour stopped on the clock
What would I be without you but this stammering

I learned everything from you as far as I'm concerned
That it's daylight at noon, that a sky can be blue
That happiness is not a tavern lantern
You took me by the hand in this modern hell
Where man no longer knows what it means to be two
You took me by the hand like a happy lover

What would I be without you who came to meet me
What would I be without you but a heart in hibernation
This hour stopped on the clock
What would I be without you but this stammering

Who speaks of happiness often has sad eyes
Is it not a sob of disappointment
A broken string in the guitarist's fingers
And yet I tell you that happiness exists
Elsewhere than in dreams, elsewhere than in the clouds
Earth, earth, here are its unknown harbors

What would I be without you who came to meet me
What would I be without you but a heart in hibernation
This hour stopped on the clock
What would I be without you but this stammering
