et
brillante

as
a
sword
Je
l'ai

épée
My
eyes

seen
the
glory
of

When

homme
Standing
on
this
road
Debout
sur
cette
route
My
empty
belly
Mon
ventre
vide
An
aching
hole
Un
trou
douloureux
An

man
said
to
me
Un

homme
m'a
dit
Kid
don′t

Mon

tu
ne
sais
pas
That
it's
the
same
Que
c'est
la
même
chose
Wherever
you
go
Où
que

ailles
I
gambled
in
two
graveyards
J'ai
joué
dans

cimetières
I
won
against
the
odds
J'ai

again
Je
ne
pourrais
plus
jamais
revoir
And
the
howling
of
the
wind
at
night
Et
le
hurlement
du
vent
la
nuit
I
wrote
upon
the
rain
J'ai
écrit
sur
la
pluie
I
found
the
thing
J'ai
trouvé
la
chose
For
which
I

back
home

rentré
chez
