C'était pas moi

In his cell, he cried
Rebelled, then resigned
And in a desperate voice
He kept repeating:

It wasn't me who was passing by that day
It wasn't me!
It wasn't me who did that, that story
It's not me!

But I couldn't explain myself
That man found in the ditch
I can scream my innocence all I want
In my cell
I can scream into the silence:
No, no, and no!

I've been stuck here for months
And I'm just waiting for what they'll do with me...

Yeah, I loved her
That woman for whom
They found
That murdered man...
Yeah, I loved her
I was crazy for her
And really jealous
But it's not true!...

Coincidence?
Bad luck?
It wasn't me!
It wasn't me!

I can scream into the silence
From my cell
I can scream my innocence
No, no, and no!

I've been stuck here for months
And I'm just waiting for what they'll do with me...

And facing the sky,
My only witness,
Reaching out my hands
I want to scream:
It's not me!
It's not me!
It's not me!
It's not me!
