Translation
If you don't let me down
He kept saying, can you see that sky
It's but a piece of grey cloth
There's less sunshine in it
Than in the choir of a church
He said, I’m going to leave
I’ll go wherever the wind takes me
Anywhere else can't be worse
Come and I'll take you with me.
At the Porte d’Italie1
We start the journey
It takes one truck and one night
And here are the distant shores
We are not butterfingers
We'll sign up on boats
The whole world will be ours
If you don't let me down
Okay, we can't do a thing
But both together we can do anything
We came just in time
To give them a hand
Be they street cleaners or presidents
They're lost, those poor people
The whole world will be ours
If you don't let me down.
He kept saying, can you see that sky
It's but a piece of grey cloth
There's less sunshine in it
Than in the choir of a church
And then time has passed
The other day I met him
He was mooking down at the ground
He had missed his flight
The girl who was holding his arm
Wasn't from Canberra
The hopes of our dawns
Hadn’t gone beyond Saint-Maur2
But I can see all countries
In the eyes of my loves
And my faith goes far away at night
Sometimes further than Singapore
I want to sing for all the people
Be they street cleaners or presidents
For all the people in the world
If you don't let me down.
For me the sky is never grey
In the eyes of my loves
Every flower in this life
Is worth a detour
And if I sing so it's for you,
For you whom I don't know
And whom I will meet
If you don't let me down
