Quand On A Que L'amour
Jacques Brel
When We Only Have Love
When we only have love
To offer in sharing
On the day of the great journey
That is our great love
When we only have love
My love, you and me
So that every hour and every day
Bursts with joy
When we only have love
To live our promises
Without any other riches
Than to always believe in it
When we only have love
To fill with wonders
And cover with sunshine
The ugliness of the suburbs
When we only have love
For the sole reason
For the only song
And the only help
When we only have love
To dress in the morning
The poor and the rogues
In velvet coats
When we only have love
To offer in prayer
For the pains of the earth
As simple troubadours
When we only have love
To offer to those
Whose only struggle
Is to seek the day
When we only have love
To pave a path
And challenge fate
At every crossroad
When we only have love
To speak to the cannons
And only a song
To convince a drummer
So without having anything
But the strength to love
We will have in our hands
Friends, the whole world
