This is better than any of the 8 other English translations on LT for these lyrics.
In the second line, the English used means not "j'existerais" but "je devrais exister" - the English implies some obligation, not just a simple fact.
"traîner " can only mean drag when it is used as a transitive verb. Here it it's intransitive, so it probably means something like "hang about" or "traipse around" (it can't mean "take too long" or "drag on and on" here because the following words won't fit with that meaning).
I think the fourth line of the third stanza would be better as "but I wouldn't be real", but "but it wouldn't be true" would be interpreted as meaning that anyway, so that's just my personal preference, the line as it stands isn't wrong.
I think that I standard English usage would have "like" to "as" for "comme" in line 7 of the first stanza, because it's followed by a pretty complex noun-phrase. and it's comparing people not acts or degrees of an adjective.
While "cannot believe his eyes" is a possible translation perhaps something like "is amazed" or "is astounded" would be easier for some people to understand.
This is my own translation. I am a native French speaker and the other versions mistranslate "qui n'en revient pas"
That idiom means "who cannot believe it" It has nothing to do with returning...
