Sans Toi Lyrics by Cortex

1978

FRENCH:
Ah si demain tu me quittais
Mes nuits seraient comme des prisons
D’où je ne pourrais m’évader
Où je perdrais bientôt la raison

Mais ça ne peut pas arriver
Je ne peux voir la vie chanter
L’amour, et frôler le ciel sans toi

Sans toi je serais un enfant
Perdu dans une forêt sans fond
Non non non

Mais à quoi bon cette chanson ?

Non non non non
Non non non non

Tout ça ne peut pas arriver
Ou alors
J’en serais mort

Non non non non non

Oh si demain tu me quittais
Je ne serais plus qu’un vagabond

J’irais partout pour te trouver
Et même derrière l’horizon

Mais ça ne peut pas arriver
Je ne peux voir la vie chanter
L’amour, et frôler le ciel sans toi

Sans toi je serais un enfant
Perdu dans une forêt sans fond
Non non non

Mais à quoi bon cette chanson ?
…
Mais à quoi bon cette chanson ?

Sans toi les roses du jardin
Ne s’ouvriraient plus de chagrin

Ne m’oublie jamais

Sans toi les champs du mois de mai
Ne seraient plus que des marais

Ne m’oublie jamais

Sans toi le ciel serait de plomb
Il serait tout noir de bourdons

Ne m’oublie jamais

Sans toi tous les contes de fées
Seraient d’histoires de sorciers

Ne m’oublie jamais

Sans toi les enfants seraient laids
Ne seraient plus jamais aimés

Ne m’oublie jamais

Sans toi les mois et les années
Un jour oublieraient de passer

Ne m’oublie jamais

Sans toi le jour serait la nuit
Et la nuit encore la nuit

Ne m’oublie jamais

Sans toi le sud serait au nord
Et le nord ne serait que mort

Ne m’oublie jamais

Sans toi les oiseaux seraient fous
Et la mer ne serait que houle

Ne m’oublie jamais

Sans toi les serpents jailliraient
De mille volcans réveillés

Ne m’oublie jamais

Sans toi le neige serait noire
L’eau ne serait plus fraîche à boire

Sans toi le feu serait glacé
Et les rivières seraient gelées

Sans toi les amants se tueraient
Il coulerait des flots de sangs

Sans toi la Terre s’endormirait
Pour des milliers milliers d’années

Sans toi le chien me parlerait
De toi et de notre passé

Sans toi je serais vagabond
Sans toi je perdrais la raison

Sans toi les roses du jardin
Ne s’ouvriraient plus de chagrin

Sans toi les enfants seraient laids
Ne seraient plus jamais aimés

Sans toi les mois et les années
Un jour oublieraient de passer

Sans toi le jour serait la nuit
Et la nuit encore la nuit

Sans toi le sud serait au nord
Et le nord ne serait que mort

Sans toi les serpents jailliraient
De mille volcans réveillés

Sans toi la terre s’endormirait
Pour des milliers milliers d’années

ENGLISH:
Ah if tomorrow you left me
My nights would be like prisons
From where I could not escape
Where I would soon lose my mind

But it can't happen
I can't see life sing
Love, and brush against the sky without you

Without you I would be a child
Lost in a bottomless forest
No no no

But what good is this song?

No no no no
No no no no

All this can't happen
Or
I would be dead

No no no no no

Oh if tomorrow you left me
I would be just a wanderer

I would go everywhere to find you
And even behind the horizon

But it can't happen
I can't see life sing
Love, and brush against the sky without you

Without you I would be a child
Lost in a bottomless forest
No no no

But what good is this song?
...
But what good is this song?

Without you the roses in the garden
No more sorrow would open

Do not forget me

Without you the fields of the month of May
Would be nothing more than swamps

Do not forget me

Without you the sky would be leaden
It would be all black with bumblebees

Do not forget me

Without you all the fairy tales
Would be stories of wizards

Do not forget me

Without you the children would be ugly
Would never be loved again

Do not forget me

Without you months and years
One day would forget to pass

Do not forget me

Without you the day would be the night
And the night still the night

Do not forget me

Without you the south would be north
And the north would only be dead

Do not forget me

Without you the birds would be crazy
And the sea would only swell

Do not forget me

Without you the snakes would flow
Of a thousand awakened volcanoes

Do not forget me

Without you the snow would be black
The water would not be cooler to drink

Without you the fire would be frozen
And the rivers would be frozen

Without you the lovers would kill each other
There would flow streams of blood

Without you the earth would fall asleep
For thousands of thousands of years

Without you the dog would talk to me
Of you and our past

Without you I would be a wanderer
Without you I would lose my mind

Without you the roses in the garden
No more sorrow would open

Without you the children would be ugly
Would never be loved again

Without you months and years
One day would forget to pass

Without you the day would be the night
And the night still the night

Without you the south would be north
And the north would only be dead

Without you the snakes would flow
Of a thousand awakened volcanoes

Without you the earth would fall asleep
For thousands of thousands of years
