peuvent-ils
se
tourner
maintenant ?
Got
no
place
to

nulle
part
où
se
sentir
chez
nous
We
ain't
got

On
n'a
pas
assez
We
ain't
got
no
place
to
own
On
n'a
pas
d'endroit
pour
se
sentir
chez
nous
I'll
never
forget
it
Je
ne
l'oublierai
jamais
I
don't
think
you
will,
either
Je
ne
pense
pas
que
tu
l'oublieras
non
plus

moment
puissant,
mon
chéri ?
