Si J'avais Un Marteau

If I had a hammer
I would strike during the day
I would strike at night
I would put all my heart into it
I would build a farm
A barn and a fence
And I would put my father there
My mother, my brothers, and my sisters
Oh oh, that would be happiness

If I had a bell
I would ring it during the day
I would ring it at night
I would put all my heart into it
For work at dawn
And in the evening for supper
I would call my father
My mother, my brothers, and my sisters
Oh oh, that would be happiness

If I had a song
I would sing it during the day
I would sing it at night
I would put all my heart into it
While turning the earth
To lighten our sorrows
I would sing it to my father
My mother, my brothers, and my sisters
Oh oh, that would be happiness

If I had a hammer
And if I had a bell
Then if I had a song to sing
I would be the happiest
I would want nothing else
But a hammer, a bell, and a song
For the love of my father
My mother, my brothers, and my sisters
Oh oh, that would be happiness

It's the hammer of courage
It's the bell of freedom
But the song is for my father
My mother, my brothers, and my sisters
Oh oh, for me it's happiness
That's true happiness
If I had a hammer
If I had a hammer
