Lyrics and translation Electric Light Orchestra - 10538 Overture (Single Version)

10538 Overture (Single Version)

Did you see your friend, crying from his eyes today?
Did you see him run through the streets and far way?
Did you see him run? Did you see him fall?
Did his life flash by on 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 (Version Single)

As-tu vu ton ami pleurer de ses yeux aujourd'hui ?
L'as-tu vu courir dans les rues et loin ?
L'as-tu vu courir ? L'as-tu vu tomber ?
Sa vie a-t-elle défilé sur la porte de la chambre ?
As-tu entendu les nouvelles passer à la radio aujourd'hui ?
Quelqu'un a été retrouvé sur les rochers dans la baie
L'as-tu vu se cacher ? L'as-tu vu ramper ?
Sa vie compte-t-elle plus qu'avant ?
As-tu vu cet homme courir dans les rues aujourd'hui ?
As-tu vu son visage, était-ce 10538 ?
