Lo Straniero
Georges Moustaki
The Stranger
With this foreigner face
I'm just a real man
Even if it doesn't seem like it to you
I have eyes as clear as the sea
Only capable of dreaming
While now I no longer dream
Half pirate half artist
A wanderer a musician
Who steals almost as much as he gives
With this mouth that will drink
At every fountain it sees
And maybe it will never stop
With this foreigner face
I have crossed my life
Without knowing where to go
It was the summer sun
And a thousand women in love
To mature my age
I've done wrong openly
And sometimes I've even suffered
Without ever crying
And my soul, you know
Will end up in purgatory
Unless a miracle comes now
With this foreigner face
On an abandoned ship
I have arrived to you
Now you are a prisoner
Of this splendid chimera
Of this ageless love
You will be a queen and you will reign
The things you dream of
Will become reality
Our love will last
For a brief eternity
Until death comes
Our love will last
For a brief eternity
Until death comes
