Lyrics of Strangers when we leave

Alain Bashung

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…
