Si j'avais de l'argent, j'achèterais un piano
If I had money, I would buy a piano
Quand j'aurai un piano je pourrai faire des gammes
When I have a piano, I can practice my scales
Quand on sait faire des gammes on peux jouer des morceaux
When you know how to play scales, you can play pieces
Aussi Salle Gaveau je donnerais un programme
Also, at Salle Gaveau, I would present a program
À ce programme viendrait tout un public ardant
To this program would come a whole eager audience
Qui devant mon talent m'enverrait ses bravos
Who, in front of my talent, would send me their cheers
Et grâce à ces bravos je gagnerais de l'argent
And thanks to these cheers, I would earn some money
Et avec cet argent j'achèterais un piano
And with that money, I would buy a piano
Si j'avais de la chance je rencontrerais l'amour
If I had luck, I would meet love
En rencontrant l'amour je prendrais plus d'assurance
In meeting love, I would gain more confidence
Avec cette assurance qui changerait mes jours
With this confidence that would change my days
Paraissant bien plus fort j'inspirerais confiance
Looking much stronger, I would inspire trust
Avec désinvolture et beaucoup d'élégance
With nonchalance and a lot of elegance
À bien de jolies femmes je pourrais faire ma cour
To many lovely women, I could make my move
Dès que j'aurais tout ça c'est que j'aurais de la chance
As soon as I have all that, it means I've got luck
Et avec de la chance je rencontrerais l'amour
And with some luck, I would meet love
Si j'avais de l'argent je rencontrerais l'amour
If I had some money, I would meet love
En rencontrant l'amour j'achèterais un piano
In finding love, I would buy a piano
Quand j'aurais un piano je pourrais faire ma cour
When I have a piano, I could make my move
Et pour faire ma cour j'irai Salle Gaveau
And to make my move, I would go to Salle Gaveau
Avec désinvolture le public en confiance
With casual ease, the audience in trust
Devant tant de jolies femmes m'enverrait ses bravos
In front of so many pretty women, they'd send me their cheers
Comme j'aurais des bravos, j'aurais aussi de la chance
As I would receive cheers, I would also have good luck
Et avec cette chance, j'achèterais un piano
And with that luck, I would buy a piano
Et avec ce piano qui m'apportera de la chance
And with this piano that will bring me good fortune
Je gagnerai de l'argent, et j'achèterai de l'amour
I would make money, and I would buy love
Si j'avais
If I had
