Et Si Je M'en Vais Avant Toi
Françoise Hardy
And If I Leave Before You
And if I leave before you
Tell yourself that I will be there
I will marry the rain, the wind
The sun and the elements
To caress you all the time
The air will be warm and light
As you like
And if you don't understand it
You will recognize me very quickly
Because I will become mean
I will marry a storm
To hurt you and make you cold
The air will be desperate
Like my sorrow
And if, however, you forget us
I will have to leave the rain
The sun and the elements
And I will really leave you
And I will leave myself too
The air will only be wind
Like oblivion
