1 When we only have love
To offer ourselves to share
On the day of the great journey
What is our great love
When we only have love,
My love you and me
So that joy bursts,
Every hour and every day.
When we only have love
br/>To live our promises
Without any other wealth
Only to always believe in it
When we only have love
To furnish with wonders
And cover in the sun
The ugliness of the suburbs
When you only have love
For only one reason
For only one song
And only one help
2 When we only have love
To dress up in the morning
Poor and miscreants
With velvet coats
When we only have love
à offer in prayer
For the evils of the earth,
As a simple troubadour
When we only have love
to offer to those
/>Whose only fight
Is to seek the day
When we only have love
To trace a path
At every crossroads
When we only have love
To speak to the guns
And nothing but a song
To convince a drum
3 So, without having anything
That the strength to love,
We will have in our hands,
My dear, the whole world.
