Si je pouvais revivre un jour ma vie
If I could relive one day of my life
J'oublierais bien où j'ai pleuré naguère
I would forget where I cried before
Je construirais ce que j'ai démoli
I would build what I have torn down
Et je ferais des anciennes misères
And I would undo the old sorrows
Un feu de joie de minuit
A midnight bonfire
Si je pouvais revivre un jour ma vie
If I could relive one day of my life
Sur les débris de ma pauvre bohème
On the ruins of my poor bohemian life
Je saurais bien te dire que je t'aime
I'd surely tell you that I love you
À toi pour qui je ne l'ai jamais dit
To you whom I never told
Si je pouvais revivre un jour ma vie
If I could relive one day of my life
J'afretterais quelques vaisseaux immenses
I would freight some immense vessels
Pour embarquer tous ceux que j'aime ici
To embark all those I love here
En oubliant les gens sans importance
Forgetting the people of no importance
Au centre de mon oubli
At the center of my oblivion
Dans ce destin de voyage au long court
In this destiny of a long journey
Toi tu serais maître de l'équipage
You would be the master of the crew
Nous partirions pour le plus grand voyage
We would set off for the greatest voyage
En choisissant bien sûr le point du jour
Choosing, of course, the break of day
Si je pouvais revivre pour l'amour
If I could live again for love
