Translation of the song Y si no existieras artist Joe Dassin

Y si tú no has de volver dime por qué yo viviré?

And if you won't come back, tell me for what will I live?

Para estarme en un mundo sin ti

To be in a world without you

Sin esperanza ni fe

Without hope nor faith

Y si tú no has de volver para inventar el amor

And if you won't come back so that you may feign love

El pintor lleva bajo el pincel los colores que se van

The artist under his brush has the colours to paint with

Y que no volverán

[Colours] that won't return

Y si tú no has de volver, dime por qué yo viviré?

And if you won't come back, tell me for what will I live?

Días tristes de gran soledad, y no amare jamás

Sad days of immense silence, and I won't love again

Y si tú no has de volver sería un marido más

And if you won't come back, that means a one more husband

En el mundo que viene y que va

In the world that comes and goes

Pobre mi vida será si no estás aquí

Hapless my life will be when you're not here

Y si tú no has de volver, dime por qué yo viviré?

And if you won't come back, tell me for what will I live?

Yo podría tratar de cambiar, pero no sé en verdad

I could try to change, but I don't really know

Y si tú no has de volver creo que descubriré

And if you won't come back, I thin I'll discover

El secreto de vida y por qué, sólo para inventar

The secret to life, and why?

Alguien igual a ti

Just to make up someone like you

Y si tú no has de volver dime por qué yo viviré?

And if you won't come back, tell me for what will I live?

Para estarme en un mundo sin ti

To be in a world without you

Sin esperanza ni fe

Without hope nor faith

Y si tú no has de volver dime por qué yo viviré?

And if you won't come back, tell me for what will I live?

Para estarme en un mundo sin ti...

To be in a world without you...
