Below, I translated the lyrics of the song If I Were You by Céline Dion from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
She can feel you
She can feel you
Drifting far away
Drifting far away
But she can't see through
But she can't see through
What you do not say
What you don't say
Take a step back
Take a step back
Don't lose your ground
Don't lose your ground
Remember how you felt before
Remember how you felt before
And if you care about her
And if you care about her
Show her that you're sure
Show her that you're sure
If I were you
If I were you
My prized possessions
My prized possessions
Would be the ones I'd hold so close
Would be the ones I'd hold so close
'Cause when you lose your love
'Cause when you lose your love
You lose what means the most
You lose what means the most
If I were you
If I were you
I'd hold affection
I'd hold affection
Higher than any star in sight
Higher than any star in sight
Take this to heart
Take this to heart
And you'll never part
And you'll never leave
These are the things that I would do
These are the things that I would do
If I were you
If I were you
Simple pleasures
Simple pleasures
The hardest to be found
The hardest to be found
Can't be measured
Can't be measured
'Til they're not around
'Til they're not around
Maybe she'll go
Maybe she'll go
Maybe she'll stay
Maybe she'll stay
But she'd rather go than fade away
But she'd rather go than fade away
Sometimes the sweetest sorrow
Sometimes the sweetest sorrow
Is the saddest fate
Is the saddest fate
If I were you
If I were you
My prized possessions
My prized possessions
Would be the ones I'd hold so close
Would be the ones I'd hold so close
'Cause when you lose your love
'Cause when you lose your love
You lose what means the most
You lose what means the most
If I were you
If I were you
I'd hold affection
I'd hold affection
Higher than any star in sight
Higher than any star in sight
Take this to heart
Take this to heart
And you'll never part
And you'll never leave
These are the things that I would do
These are the things that I would do
If I were you
If I were you
Take a step back
Take a step back
Don't lose your ground
Don't lose your ground
Remember how you felt before
Remember how you felt before
And if you care about her
And if you care about her
Show her that you're sure
Show her that you're sure
If I were you
If I were you
I'd hold affection
I'd hold affection
Higher than any star in sight
Higher than any star in sight
Take this to heart
Take this to heart
And you'll never part
And you'll never leave
These are the things that I would do
These are the things that I would do
If I were you
If I were you
Take this to heart
Take this to heart
And you'll never part
And you'll never leave
These are the things that I would do
These are the things that I would do
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
