If You Were the Woman and I Was the Man - Cowboy Junkies

If you were the woman and I was the man

would I send you yellow roses

would I dare to kiss your hand?

In the morning would I caress you

as the wind caresses the sand,

if you were the woman and I was the man?



If I was the heart and you were the head

would you think me very foolish

if one day I decided to shed

these walls that surround me

just to see where these feelings led,

if I was the heart and you were the head?



If I was the woman and you were the man

would I laugh if you came to me

with your heart in your hand

and said, 'I offer you this freely

and will give you all that I can

because you are the woman

and I am the man?'

Si tu étais la femme et j'étais l'homme

je t'enverrais des roses jaunes

oserais-je embrasser ta main?

Le matin, je te caresserais

comme le vent caresse le sable,

si tu étais la femme et j'étais l'homme?



Si j'étais le c?ur et que tu étais la tête

me croirais-tu très stupide

si un jour je décidais de me débarrasser

ces murs qui m'entourent

juste pour voir où ces sentiments ont conduit,

si j'étais le coeur et que tu étais la tête?



Si j'étais la femme et que tu étais l'homme

est-ce que je ris si tu venais à moi

avec ton coeur dans ta main

et a dit: "Je vous offre ceci gratuitement

et je vous donnerai tout ce que je peux

parce que tu es la femme

et je suis l'homme?
