Lyrics and translation The Durutti Column - The Beggar (London School of Economics, 14/12/84)
Some
words
uttered
by
a
beggar
Quelques
mots
prononcés
par
un
mendiant
Struck
a
glancing
blow
Ont
frappé
un
coup
de
grâce
Frames
form
in
his
mind
Des
images
se
forment
dans
son
esprit
Words
form
in
his
mouth
Des
mots
se
forment
dans
sa
bouche
Call
into
this
night
Appel
dans
cette
nuit
At
each
new
corner
À
chaque
nouveau
coin
de
rue
I
grow
more
weary
Je
deviens
plus
las
At
each
new
corner
À
chaque
nouveau
coin
de
rue
I
see
more
people
Je
vois
plus
de
gens
I

Lay
in
this
doorway
Allongé
dans
cette
porte
In
the
orange
street
glare
Dans
l'éclat
orange
de
la
rue
People
seem
so
far
away
Les
gens
semblent
si
loin
Their
names
mean
nothing
now
Leurs
noms
ne
signifient
plus
rien
maintenant
I
see
them
turn
and
stare
Je
les
vois
se
retourner
et
me
fixer
I
watch
them
slip
away
Je
les
regarde
s'éloigner
Their
names
mean
nothing
Leurs
noms
ne
signifient
rien
Their
names
mean
nothing
Leurs
noms
ne
signifient
rien
Their
names
mean
nothing
now
Leurs
noms
ne
signifient
plus
rien
maintenant
At
each
new
corner
À
chaque
nouveau
coin
de
rue
I
grow
more
weary
Je
deviens
plus
las
At
each
new
corner
À
chaque
nouveau
coin
de
rue
I
see
more
people
Je
vois
plus
de
gens
I
see
more
people
Je
vois

de

Has
Jesus
forgotten
Jésus
a-t-il
oublié
This
man
on
the
ground
Cet
homme
sur
le
sol
The
dirt
on
his
clothes
La
saleté
sur
ses
vêtements
And
the
blood
on
his
face
Et
le
sang
sur
son
visage
He
has
his
own
blood
Il
a
son
propre
sang
And
the
light
in
his
eyes
Et
la
lumière
dans
ses
yeux
People
seem
so
far
away
Les
gens
semblent
si
loin
Their
names
mean
nothing
now
Leurs
noms
ne
signifient
plus
rien
maintenant
