Et si tu n'existais pas
And if you didn't exist
Dis-moi pourquoi j'existerais
Tell me why I would exist
Pour traîner dans un monde sans toi
To wander in a world without you
Sans espoir et sans regret
Without hope and without regret
Et si tu n'existais pas
And if you didn't exist
J'essaierais d'inventer l'amour
I would try to invent love
Comme un peintre qui voit sous ses doigts
Like a painter who sees under his fingers
Naître les couleurs du jour
The colors of the day emerge
Et qui n'en revient pas
And who can't believe it
Si tu n'existais pas
If you didn't exist
Et si tu n'existais pas
And if you didn't exist
Dis-moi pour qui j'existerais
Tell me for whom I would exist
Des passants endormies dans mes bras
Passers-by asleep in my arms
Que je n'aimerais jamais
Whom I would never love
Et si tu n'existais pas
And if you didn't exist
Je ne serais qu'un point de plus
I'd just be one more point
Dans ce monde qui va et qui vient
In this world that comes and goes
Je me sentirais perdu
I'd feel lost
J'aurais besoin de toi
I would need you
Si tu n'existais pas
If you didn't exist
Et si tu n'existais pas
And if you didn't exist
Dis-moi comment j'existerais
Tell me how I would exist
Je pourrais faire semblant d'être moi
I could pretend to be myself
Mais je ne serais pas vrai
But I wouldn't be real
Et si tu n'existais pas
And if you didn't exist
Je crois que je l'aurais trouvé
I think I would've found it
Le secret de la vie, le pourquoi
The secret of life, the why
Simplement pour te créer
Simply to create you
Et pour te regarder
And to look at you
Si tu n'existais pas
If you didn't exist

inventer — to invent

Inventer means "to invent." While it might seem straightforward, its use in this song is quite profound and poetic.

The singer contemplates a world without his beloved and states, "J'essaierais d'inventer l'amour" (I would try to invent love). This isn't just about creating something new, but about the fundamental human need for connection and meaning that his partner provides. It highlights the idea that without her, even the concept of love would need to be conjured from nothing, making it a deeply evocative and memorable word in the context of the lyrics.
