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
