L'étrangère [English translation]
L'étrangère [English translation]
She has the black eyes of her mother
And her tenderness and her anger
She dares to say she's proud of it
The foreigner
She kept a postcard
Of her portuguese village
She has memories that hurt
The foreigner
Of course, she changed her life
When she arrived here
She didn't have any friend
The foreigner
She got used to Paris
She love people from this country
And the popular fados tunes
She's singing with the sun in her voice
She's singing loves that don't exist
She's singing for the poor people, for the kings
She's singing everything she says, everything she believes in
From this side of the border,
She never knew winter
She knows the price of poverty
The foreigner
She hasn't forget those
Who sing with tears in their eyes
So she stayed for them
Proud soul
She's singing with the sun in her voice
She's singing loves that don't exist
She's singing for the poor people, for the kings
She's singing everything she says, everything she believes in
She loves the kids, the rivers
Bigs birthday cakes
Holidays by the beach
The foreigner
She's afraid to say "I love you" to you
She's a bit of a fortune-teller
She has a bohemian heart
The foreigner
She doesn't know how to say "Sorry"
It's a volcano, it's the passion,
It's the sweetness of a fountain
The foreigner
One should take her into your arms
One should whisper very low
That she hasn't been for you
A foreigner
A foreigner
