Et si Dieu existait, si je te disais bonjour, si l’aube avait un sourire,
Et si le ciel était intelligent, si les passants faisaient attention aux moineaux, si je restais un enfant,
Et si Dieu me mentait, si les hommes pensaient autrement, si les écoles étaient fermées,
Et si les losanges étaient bleus, si la mer caressait les robes, si ma mère était vivante,
Et si Dieu me mentait,
et si j’avais tort, et si j’avais tort d’avoir tort, te comprendre me donnerait tout de même raison.

And if God existed, if I said hello to you,
if the dawn had a smile,
And if the sky was intelligent,
if the passers-by paid attention on sparrows,
if I remained a child,

And if God lied to me,
if the people thought otherwise,
if schools were closed,
And if rhombuses were blue,
if the sea caressed dresses,
if my mother was alive,

And if God lied to me,
and if I was wrong,
and if I was wrong to be wrong,
To understand you
would give me all the same reason

Merci beaucoup, Yann. J'ai écrit beaucoup de poèmes pour un Français en français il y a biennnnnnnnnnn des années. Peut-être il y en a des autres aussi. Je ne m'en souviens bien. J'ai aussi les traductions en anglais pour chacun. Peut-être je vais mettre quelques-uns ici à PIP avec les traductions bientôt.

Chere Yann, j'aime bien la danse de tes pensées ... c'est de la vraie poésie!

It's greatly enjoyable also in English!

Love,
