Mambembe

On stage, in the square, in the circus
On a garden bench
Running in the dark, painted on the wall
You will know about me

Mambembe, gypsy
Under the bridge, singing
Under the ground, singing
In the mouth of the people, singing

Beggar, hustler, kid
Ragamuffin, good or bad (singing)
Runaway slave or crazy swept
I will make my festival

Mambembe, gypsy
Under the bridge, singing
Under the ground, singing
In the mouth of the people, singing

Poet, clown, pirate
Corisco, wandering Jew (singing)
Sleeping on the road, it's nothing, it's nothing
And this world is all mine

Mambembe, gypsy
Under the bridge, singing
Under the ground, singing
In the mouth of the people, singing
