Quand on n'a que l'amour

When we only have love
To offer as a shared gift
On the day of the great journey
That is our great love
When we only have love,
My love, you and I
So that every hour and every day
Burst with joy
When we only have love
To live our promises
With no other wealth
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
As the only reason
As the only song
And only help

When we only have love
To dress the morning
Poor and rogues
In velvet coats
When we only have love
To offer in prayer
For the world's pains,
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 way
And challenge fate
At every crossroad
When we only have love
To speak to the cannons
And only a song
To convince a drum

Then, without having anything
But the strength to love,
We will have in our hands,
Friends, the whole world
