Si j'étais un charpentier
Si tu t'appelais Emmy
Voudrais-tu alors m'épouser
Et porter notre enfant
If a tinker were my trade
And I'd still find you
I'd be carrying the pots you made
Followin' behind you.
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love through sorrow
I'm given you my loneliness
Come give your tomorrow
If you worked your hands in wood
Would you still love me (?)
Answer me baby yes I would
And I'll place you above me
Si j'étais un charpentier
Si tu t'appelais Emmy
Mes mains seraient sèches et dures
Et les tiennes si fragiles
Save my love through loneliness
Save my love through sorrow
I'm given you my loneliness
Come and give me your tomorrow
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway
Would you have my baby
Would you marry me anyway
Would you have my baby
Would you marry me anyway
Would you have my baby
