Strangers when we Leave

Musique : Alain Bashung / paroles : Boris Bergman
Adaptation en anglais de "vertige de l'amour" par Boris Bergman


Friend, spin me no yarn
Please no more fairy tales
I was born in a barn
On a ship with no sails

I've travelled the seas
She took me for a ride
Merry maid from Chelsea
That called herself a bride
I hope you're on my side

OOO strangers when we leave

Halloween comes early
It's trick or treat in gringoland
You don't look so happy
Yesterday's candies have turned to sand
Why don' you take my hand

/ OOO strangers when we leave

I see a strange light in the air
Is it the bonfire from the fair?
Is it a sign, a kind of warning
For the last skater on the ring

OOOO strangers when we leave

Friend, spin me no yarn
Please no more fairy tales
I was born in a barn
On a boat with no sails
