Tu aurais pu vivre

Jean Ferrat Jean Ferrat

You Could Have Lived

You could have lived a little longer
For our happiness, for our light
With your smile, with your clear eyes
Your open mind, your generous air
You could have lived a little longer
My faithful friend, my buddy, my brother
Instead of leaving alone on a cruise
And leaving us like mangy dogs
You could have lived a little longer
You could have dreamed a little longer
Let yourself be lulled by the river
By the song of the water running over the stones
When the summer heat was blazing
You could have dreamed a little longer
Under my chestnut tree in the light shade
Let time gently unravel
And the night fall on the blue valley
You could have dreamed a little longer
You could have played a little longer
Instead of dropping your balls, darn it
Today without you, how are we going to manage
In our trio, we're only two now
You could have played a little longer
Not leave without us being able
To make those jokers bite the dust
With a thunderous stake
You could have played a little longer
We could have laughed a little longer
With friends for whole evenings
On our terrace with hollyhocks
Perfumed with love, stories, and games
We could have laughed a little longer
And in the beauty of fleeting things
Caress our women and raise our glasses
Without realizing how happy we were
We could have laughed a little longer
You could have lived a little longer
Not make me write these verses
You, who knew well, my dear friend
How lazy I often am
You could have lived a little longer
