Si le temps me le permettait
Julie Zenatti
If Time Allowed Me
If time allowed me
Oh, I'll be near you
We would spend days together
Seated under the same roof
If time allowed me
I would have the choice
Fate so capricious
Don't even see us
We would see each other in secret
Outside without light
I'll tell you how much I missed you
But I had to get some fresh air
I would still write words
On the fridge
You would curse me
But I would do it to please myself
I would say to the willows
To bend under your steps
Would laugh on your shoulder
Like when others around
Did not understand
I would bring you this hand
And those eyes that you loved
The one you couldn't cherish
When your days were reddening
Life has tested me
I killed my love
I tried, but I couldn't stand it
The more blows
When one evening he fell asleep
At the corner of the embers
In his glass of whiskey
I poured poison
I left and ran
In all directions
Today they are looking for me
To throw me in prison
If the time
If time allowed me
