Si Jamais Lyrics in English by Salvatore Adamo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Si Jamais by Salvatore Adamo from Italian to English.
Si jamais en un jour de cafard
If ever on a day of the blues
Il te prenait soudain l'envie de me revoir
You suddenly felt the urge to see me again
Si jamais le regret te prend la main
If ever regret takes your hand
Suis-le n'hésite pas s'il te conduit vers moi
Follow it, don't hesitate if it leads you to me
Moi j'oublierais le mal que tu m'as fait
I'd forget the pain you caused me
Je me tairais, pourvu que tu reviennes
I'd keep quiet, as long as you come back
Si jamais, si jamais tu pouvais comprendre
If ever, if ever you could understand
Si jamais que je reste à t'attendre
If ever I remain waiting for you
Si jamais, viens, tu serais ma reine
If ever, come, you'd be my queen
Si dans le souvenir de mes caresses
If in the memory of my caresses
Tu trouvais la tendresse qui te manque aujourd'hui
You found the tenderness you lack today
N'oublie pas qu'au bout d'une rue déserte
Don't forget that at the end of a deserted street
Ma porte te reste ouverte, viens chasser mon ennui
My door remains open, come chase my loneliness away
Moi j'oublierais le mal que tu m'as fait
I'd forget the pain you caused me
Je me tairais, pourvu que tu reviennes
I'd keep quiet, as long as you come back
Si jamais, si jamais tu pouvais comprendre
If ever, if ever you could understand
Si jamais, que je reste à t'attendre
If ever I remain waiting for you
Si jamais, viens, tu serais ma reine
If ever, come, you'd be my queen
Si jamais, si jamais, la, la, la, la, la
If ever, if ever, la, la, la, la, la
Si jamais, si jamais, la, la, la, la, la
If ever, if ever, la, la, la, la, la

cafard — the blues / feeling down

Cafard is a French word that has been adopted into Italian, and it means 'the blues' or 'feeling down'. It's a more evocative and less common way to describe a state of melancholy or gloom.

In the song, the lyric "Si jamais en un jour de cafard" translates to "If ever on a day of the blues". It sets a poignant tone, suggesting that even in moments of sadness, the singer hopes his loved one will think of him and return. This word adds a touch of poetic depth to the song's emotional plea.
