Et si tu n'existais pas (Your existence in the world)

Your existence in the world
Is what I couldn’t live without
Being hopeless forgotten and cold
I would simply gad about
Your existence on the earth
I would attempt to make someway
Like a painter whose fingers give birth
To the colors of the day
And who goes always forth.

Your existence in the world
No one is able to replace
Those to do it who once would be bold
In my heart would have no place
Your existence in my life
Is what I would be looking for
In this world that is always at strife
I would need you more and more
I wouldn’t feel alive

Your existence in the world
Without it I could never be
Then my likeness I would try to mold
But this man would not be me
Your existence under sky
Each day I would ask from above
Having guessed what life is I would try
To create you for my love
To see your charming smile
