Текст и перевод песни Georges Moustaki - Humblement Il Est Venu

Humblement Il Est Venu

Humblement il est venu
On ne l'a pas reconnu
Il était mal habillé
Il n'avait pas de souliers
Parce qu'il était pieds nus
On ne l'a pas reconnu

Humblement il est venu
Comme s'il tombait des nues
Il disait des mots très doux
On ne comprenait pas tout
Mais personne n'y a cru
De ceux qui l'ont entendu

Humblement il est venu
Demander la bienvenue
Demander du pain du vin
Et un lit jusqu'au matin
Il ne voulait rien de plus
Il n'a pourtant rien reçu

Humblement il est venu
Humblement a disparu
Ce n'était qu'un étranger
Que pouvait-il bien chercher
Ce n'était qu'un inconnu
On ne l'a pas retenu

Ça fait 2000 ans ou plus
Il n'est jamais revenu
Mais on s'en souvient pourtant
Et tout le monde l'attend

Les filles pour le recevoir
Se font belles chaque soir
Les enfants parlent de lui
Comme on parle d'un ami

Les hommes eux ne disent rien
Mais lui gardent un verre de vin
Il viendra le boire un jour
À la joie et à l'amour

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la

He Came Humbly

He came humbly
We didn't recognize him
He was poorly dressed
He didn't have any shoes on
Because he was barefoot
We didn't recognize him

He came humbly
As if he had fallen from the clouds
He said very tender words
We didn't understand everything
But no one believed him
Of those who heard him

He came humbly
Asking to be welcomed
Asking for bread, wine
And a bed until morning
He didn't want anything more
Yet he received nothing

He came humbly
He disappeared humbly
He was just a stranger
What could he possibly have been looking for
He was just a stranger
We didn't keep him

It's been 2000 years or more
He has never come back
But we still remember him
And everyone is waiting for him

The girls, to welcome him
Make themselves beautiful every night
The children talk about him
As one speaks of a friend

The men themselves don't say anything
But they keep a glass of wine for him
He will come and drink it one day
To joy and to love

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
