Hymne A L'Amour Lyrics

if the sun should tumble from the sky
if the sea should suddenly run dry
if you love me, really love me
let it happen darling, i don't care

shall i catch a shooting star
shall i bring it where you are
if you want me to, i will
you can set me any task
i'll do anything you ask
if you'll only love me still

when at last, our life on earth is through
i will spend eternity with you
if you love me, really love me
let it happen darling, i won't care

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Actually the lyrics are similar also, the english translation of the french lyrics are The blue sky can collapse on us And the earth fall to ruins, I don't care, as long as you love me. I don't care a damn about the world. As long as love lights my mornings As long as my body trembles under your hands I care little about problems My love since you love me. I would go to the end of the world I would have my hair died blonde If you asked me. I would go and unhook the moon I would go and steal a fortune If you asked me. I would reject my country I would reject all my friends if you asked me. People can laugh at me I would do anything If you asked me. If one day life tears you away from me If you die whilst away from me I don't care as long as you love me Because I will die too We will have eternity all to us In the blue all immensity In heaven no more problems, My love, do you believe we love each other As God reunites those that love one another.

(Jeff Buckley Rules! regardless)

i think it's a very good translation. I have rarely seen such a good translation : both in the grammar and in the meaning, it's just perfect. It was a French song written by Edith Piaf who was a very famous singer after the second World War.
