Pierre…

Si tu savais…

If only you knew…

Tout ce que mon cœur voudrait te raconter aujourd’hui.

All that my heart would like to tell you today.

De Madagascar jusqu’à notre maison,

From Madagascar to our home,

Regarde le chemin parcouru…

Look at the path we've traveled…

[COUPLET 1 – voix douce et nostalgique] · VERSE 1 – soft and nostalgic voice

Tout a commencé derrière un écran,

It all started behind a screen,

Toi en Belgique, moi à Madagascar.

You in Belgium, me in Madagascar.

Quelques messages, quelques sentiments,

A few messages, a few feelings,

Sans savoir qu’on allait écrire notre histoire.

Without knowing we were going to write our story.

Tu as pris un avion pour venir me voir,

You took a plane to come see me,

Des milliers de kilomètres, un immense espoir.

Thousands of kilometers, immense hope.

Je revois encore notre première rencontre,

I still see our first meeting,

À l’aéroport, deux cœurs timides face à face.

At the airport, two shy hearts face to face.

On avait peur, on n’osait pas parler,

We were scared, we didn't dare to speak,

Puis trois semaines à apprendre à s’aimer.

Then three weeks to learn to love each other.

Tu as découvert mon pays, ma famille,

You discovered my country, my family,

Et cette plage de Tuléar où tant de souvenirs brillent.

And that beach in Toliara where so many memories shine.

Puis tu es reparti loin de mes bras,

Then you left, far from my arms,

Et j’ai tellement pleuré derrière toi.

And I cried so much after you.

J’avais peur de ne plus jamais te revoir,

I was afraid of never seeing you again,

Peur de perdre celui qui faisait battre mon cœur.

Afraid of losing the one who made my heart beat.

[REFRAIN – émotion montante] · CHORUS – rising emotion

Oh Pierre, mon Pierre, écoute-moi,

Oh Pierre, my Pierre, listen to me,

Tu ne sais pas tout ce que tu représentes pour moi.

You don't know all that you represent to me.

On a traversé des océans, des nuits sans sommeil,

We crossed oceans, sleepless nights,

Pour construire ensemble notre petit soleil.

To build our little sun together.

Et même si la vie nous a parfois blessés,

And even if life sometimes hurt us,

Même si parfois on a failli se décourager,

Even if sometimes we almost gave up,

Je veux que tu saches aujourd’hui,

I want you to know today,

Que je t’aime encore et que je te choisis.

That I still love you and that I choose you.

[COUPLET 2 – piano et violons] · VERSE 2 – piano and violins

Le 21 décembre 2019,

December 21, 2019,

Je suis devenue ta femme, tu es devenu mon mari.

I became your wife, you became my husband.

Mais pour vivre enfin auprès de toi,

But to finally live by your side,

Il a fallu tant de patience et de combats.

It took so much patience and so many struggles.

Des papiers, des attentes, des larmes versées,

Papers, waits, tears shed,

Des moments où notre avenir semblait éloigné.

Moments when our future seemed distant.

Mais nous avons tenu, nous nous sommes retrouvés,

But we held on, we found each other again,

Et notre vie ensemble a enfin commencé.

And our life together finally began.

Je sais, Pierre, que je ne suis pas toujours facile,

I know, Pierre, that I am not always easy,

Que mon caractère peut rendre les jours difficiles.

That my character can make days difficult.

Je suis parfois têtue, je peux me fâcher,

I am sometimes stubborn, I can get angry,

Et parfois je ne sais pas comment te parler.

And sometimes I don't know how to talk to you.

Mais derrière cette femme au caractère compliqué,

But behind this woman with a complicated character,

Il y a un cœur qui n’a jamais cessé de t’aimer.

There is a heart that has never stopped loving you.

Pardonne-moi pour les mots parfois trop durs,

Forgive me for the words sometimes too harsh,

Je ne suis pas parfaite, mais mon amour est pur.

I am not perfect, but my love is pure.

[COUPLET 3 – voix fragile, piano mélancolique] · VERSE 3 – fragile voice, melancholic piano

Puis nous avons voulu devenir parents,

Then we wanted to become parents,

Mais le bonheur s’est fait attendre longtemps.

But happiness was long in coming.

Une grossesse extra-utérine, tant de douleur,

An ectopic pregnancy, so much pain,

Des espoirs brisés, des nuits remplies de pleurs.

Broken hopes, nights filled with tears.

La FIV, les traitements, les recommencements,

IVF, treatments, new beginnings,

Les déceptions, les attentes, les bouleversements.

Disappointments, waits, upheavals.

Combien de fois ai-je cru que ce serait impossible ?

How many times did I think it would be impossible?

Combien de fois mon cœur

How many times my heart
