J'aurais - Sylvie Vartan

J’aurais ferm la porte cl, teint la lumire dans l’entre

J’aurais pris ta veste mouille, j’aurais fait chauffer du caf

J’aurais mis dans la chemine, trois grosses branches d’olivier

Et quand la flamme aurait baiss, j’aurais mis ta veste scher

Pour ne pas tre drangs par la pluie frappant les carreaux

J’aurais ferm les volets, j’aurais tir les rideaux

Sur la cage de mes oiseaux qui de chanter n’arrtent plus

J’aurais dploy des journaux pour qu’ils sachent la nuit venue

Puis j’aurais dfait mes cheveux, je serais venue dans tes bras

Et j’aurais dit «ce soir, tu peux faire de moi ce que tu voudras»

Si ce soir, tu tais venu!

I would have locked the key door, turned off the light in the hallway

I would have taken your wet jacket, I would have heated some coffee

I would have put in the fireplace, three large olive branches

And when the flame had gone down, I would have dried your jacket

So as not to be disturbed by the rain hitting the tiles

I would have closed the shutters, I would have drawn the curtains

On the cage of my birds that never stop singing

I would have deployed newspapers so they would know when night came

Then I would have undone my hair, I would have come into your arms

And I would have said "tonight you can do with me what you want"

If tonight you had come!
