If you were... The most incredible love song from all times. Happy Valentine day.

Dear friends,

Here is the most beautiful love song i have ever heard in my life. It's an old song, but, up to now, I have never heard anything better.

So, as it will be Valentine day very soon, i have decided to post it here and to dedicate it to my angel and to all of you.

I have found the lyrics in english, but though it is close, it's not absolutly the same. I would be happy to know what you think about it.
So, here it is...

If you were... Salvatore Adamo

If you were the earth
I would be sower
You'd be my harvest
My law...
And I would die happy
Have seen you in flowers
Falling asleep forever
In you

If you were the time
I' would be hourglass
And you would strung out in me
If you were the wind
I would be a sailboat
And I swell with you

If you were ...
But you're still my love
You are, you're ...
And you filled my days
You're living
You're in love

If you were the road and your eyes the horizon
I would follow you confident
I would be vagabond
To marry your voice
I would be a song
If you were emotion
I would be shiver

If you were the sea
I'would be River
And my days would flow to you
If you were a country
My arms would be borders
And I would go to war for you

If you were ...
But you're still my love
You are true
And you filled my days
You're living, you're in love
You are!

French lyrics for those who know this language ;

Si tu étais...

Si tu étais…. Salvatore Adamo

Si tu étais la terre
Moi je serais semeur
Tu serais ma moisson
Ma loi
Et je mourais ravi
De t'avoir vu en fleurs
M'endormant à jamais
En toi

Car je n'existe que par toi, par toi
Si tu étais le temps
Je serai sablier
Et tu t'égrainerais en moi
Si tu étais le vent
Moi je serais voilier
Et je me gonflerais de toi
Si tu étais...
Mais tu es plus encore mon amour
Tu es, tu es...
Et tu remplis mes jours
Tu es de vie
Tu es d'amour
Tu es...

Si tu étais la route et tes yeux l'horizon
Je te suivrais confiant
Je serais vagabond
Pour épouser ta voix
Moi je serais chanson
Si tu étais émoi
Je serais le frisson

Car je n'existe que par toi, par toi
Si tu étais la mer
Moi je serais rivière
Et mes jours couleraient vers toi
Si tu étais pays
Mes bras seraient frontière
Et je ferais ma guerre pour toi

Si tu étais...
Mais tu es plus encore mon amour
Toi tu es vraie
Et tu remplis mes jours
Tu es de vie, tu es d'amour
Tu es !

Thanks Ramona,

Thanks for your comment and interest to this post. I listened to your favorite songs, "Lost without you" is a little too rhytmic for me, "I could fall in love" is more my kind of music and i like the lyrics. Thanks for making me discover 2 singers i didn't know.

Lost without you is a little to

Very nice words and deep in meaning only lovers can taste their frugrance impact on their hearts.

Love is a gift from God, he just check all hearts then like a puzzle assemble them to become one beat one rhythm swinging two hearts.

I know one song in Arabic, I will check it in youtube to find the lyrics in English and share it with you.

Every year and you are my sweetheart =كل عام وأنتي حبيبتي

This is what said to me my husband this morning.

Be happy always dear Manuela with an angel love.
