In the unknown town,
I like nothing
I always take to the streets
That go too far
Of never-ending streets
Where I get lost
The quays, the avenues
And the deserted boulevards
Then, between two houses
I hear the din
Of a long train on a bridge
That is going some place
In the unknown town,
Evening and morning,
Like this lost dog
I go and I come back
There are passers by
That have the air to flee from you
And who don't have the temps
To do you a smile
In the unknown town,
When the night comes,
I have fear of the naked walls
The all-grey walls
I have fear of this hotel
In the too cold bed
And of cruel morning
That wakes me up
Because I want to sleep
Sleep all day,
With my memories,
My memories of love
In the unknown town,
I think of you
But you, do you remember me?
Still a little bit of me?
