Always loved Ultravox and this absolute superb solo from Midge Ure takes me back to a time when people were happy..miss the 80s so much..

[highplainsdrifter]

I remember this song like it was yesterday, left school in 85 when this was number one in the UK charts. Arguably one of the best number one hits of the 80s. Timeless masterpiece

[iainwallington]

Absolutely wonderful song the pride of Scotland

I'm a huge Ultravox/Midge Ure fan here in Australia, this tune helped me after the passing of my Mother at aged 18.
Along with many other Midge created songs got me through that period in time, If I Was reached number 1 here in 1985👍❤👍

For my love, my Mother❤ who made me discover this song in 1985, I was 8 years old...
Si j'étais un homme meilleur
If I was a better man

Est-ce que mes semblables me prendraient dans leur cœur
Would fellow men take me to their hearts

Si j'étais un homme plus fort
If I was a stronger man

Porter le poids de la demande populaire
Carrying the weight of popular demand

Dis-moi est-ce que ça l'alarmerait
Tell me would that alarm her

Je ne lui ferais jamais de mal
I'd never harm her at all

Si j'étais un soldat
If I was a soldier

Bras captifs que je poserais devant elle
Captive arms I'd lay before her

Si j'étais marin
If I was a sailor

Sept océans je naviguerais vers elle
Seven oceans I'd sail to her

Si j'étais un homme plus sage
If I was a wiser man

Est-ce que d'autres hommes tendraient la main et me toucheraient
Would other men reach out and touch me

Si j'étais un homme plus gentil
If I was a kinder man

Servir de l'amour pour un monde affamé
Dishing up love for a hungry world

Dis-moi est-ce que ça l'apaiserait
Tell me would that appease her

je veux encore lui faire plaisir
I want to please her again

Si j'étais peintre
If I was a painter

Je peindrais un monde qui ne pourrait pas la souiller
I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her

Si j'étais un chef
If I was a leader

De la nourriture de l'amour d'en haut je la nourrirais
On food of love from above I would feed her

Si j'étais poète
If I was a poet

Tout mon amour et mes mots brûlants je le montrerais
All my love and burning words I would show it

Si j'étais son amant
If I was her lover

Je couvrirais ses yeux de baisers
Her eyes in kisses I would cover

Viens ici mon bébé
Come here my baby

Oh ils ne peuvent pas te toucher maintenant
Oh they can't touch you now

Je te garderai en sécurité et au chaud
I'll keep you safe and warm

Je ne te quitterai jamais du tout
I'll never leave you at all

Viens ici mon bébé
Come here my baby

Oh ils ne te toucheront pas
Oh they won't touch you

Servir de l'amour pour un monde affamé
Dishing up love for a hungry world

Dis-moi est-ce que ça t'apaiserait
Tell me would that appease you....

Ein sehr schöner Oldie aus den 80 Jahren.
