Lyrics and translation Electric Light Orchestra - 10538 Overture / Do Ya

10538 Overture / Do Ya

Did you see your friend crying from his eyes today?
Did you see him run through the streets and far away?
Did you see him run? Did you see him fall?
Did his life flash by at the bedroom door?
Did you hear the news, came across the air today?
Someone has been found on the rocks down in the bay
Did you see him hide? Did you see him crawl?
Does his life mean more than it did before?
Did you see that man running through the streets today?
Did you catch his face? Was it 10538?

10538 Ouverture / Do Ya

As-tu vu ton ami pleurer de ses yeux aujourd'hui ?
L'as-tu vu courir dans les rues et s'enfuir ?
L'as-tu vu courir ? L'as-tu vu tomber ?
Sa vie a-t-elle défilé devant ses yeux à la porte de sa chambre ?
As-tu entendu les nouvelles, diffusées à la radio aujourd'hui ?
On a trouvé quelqu'un sur les rochers dans la baie
L'as-tu vu se cacher ? L'as-tu vu ramper ?
Sa vie a-t-elle plus de sens qu'avant ?
As-tu vu cet homme courir dans les rues aujourd'hui ?
As-tu reconnu son visage ? Était-ce 10538 ?
