Here I am singing the classic french song by the great Jacques Brel.
Translation and lyrics:
When we only have love
To offer in sharing
For the great journey
That is our great love
When we only have love
My love, you and me
That bursts of joy
Each hour and each day

When we only have love
To live our promises
Without any other riches
To always believe
When we only have love
To furnish with wonders
And cover with the sun
The ugliness of the streets

When we only have love
For a unique reason
For a unique song
and a unique rescue

When we only have love
To dress in the morning
Both poor and crooks
With velvet coats
When we only have love
To offer in a prayer
For the ills of the earth
a simple poem

When we only have love
To offer to those
Whose only fight
Is to seek daylight
When we only have love
To trace a way
And force destiny
At each crossroad
When we only have love
To speak with cannons
And only one song
To convince the drums

So with nothing but
The strength to love
We will have in our hands
the friendship of the entire world
Quand on n'a que l'amour
A s'offrir en partage
Au jour du grand voyage
Qu'est notre grand amour

Quand on n'a que l'amour
Mon amour toi et moi
Pour qu'éclatent de joie
Chaque heure et chaque jour

Quand on n'a que l'amour
Pour vivre nos promesses
Sans nulle autre richesse
Que d'y croire toujours

Quand on n'a que l'amour
Pour meubler de merveilles
Et couvrir de soleil
La laideur des faubourgs

Quand on n'a que l'amour
Pour unique raison
Pour unique chanson
Et unique secours

Quand on n'a que l'amour
Pour habiller matin
Pauvres et malandrins
De manteaux de velours

Quand on n'a que l'amour
A offrir en prière
Pour les maux de la terre
En simple troubadour

Quand on n'a que l'amour
A offrir à ceux-là
Dont l'unique combat
Est de chercher le jour

Quand on n'a que l'amour
Pour tracer un chemin
Et forcer le destin
A chaque carrefour

Quand on n'a que l'amour
Pour parler aux canons
Et rien qu'une chanson
Pour convaincre un tambour

Alors sans avoir rien
Que la force d'aimer
Nous aurons dans nos mains
Amis, le monde entier
