Un Homme Debout
Claudio Capéo
A Standing Man
If I fall asleep will you wake me up?
It's so cold outside, do you feel it?
There was a time when I was like you
Despite all my struggles, I remain a standing man
Pray for me to make it through
Pray for me to feel better
Don't blame me
Don't close the door on me
Yes, I live day by day
From squat to squat, a troubadour
If I sing, it's to be noticed
Even just a little hello
I see people passing by when I'm sitting
You're standing, in a hurry, I appreciate it
A little look, a little smile
Don't take the time, just keep running
If I fall asleep will you wake me up?
It's so cold outside, do you feel it?
There was a time when I was like you
Despite all my struggles, I remain a standing man
Thank you for the change
It's tough right now, I confess
When I make it through, I swear
I want to have a roof, an address
If it's hard from you to me, I stress
My morale isn't always good, time is ticking
But how can I do it besides getting drunk as a future
And promises, do you want some?
That's my life, I've taken blows to the face
Be sure that if I fall to the ground, everyone passes by but no one flinches
Honestly, except for the kids who look at me strangely
Everyone finds it normal that I beg
Don't blame me, but sometimes I just want to give up
If I fall asleep will you wake me up?
It's so cold outside, do you feel it?
There was a time when I was like you
Despite all my struggles, I remain a standing man
Pray for me to make it through
Pray for me to feel better
Don't blame me
Don't close the door on me
If I fall asleep will you wake me up?
It's so cold outside, do you feel it?
There was a time when I was like you
Despite all my struggles, I remain a standing man
If I fall asleep will you wake me up?
It's so cold outside, do you feel it?
There was a time when I was like you
Despite all my struggles, I remain a standing man
