Nous Sommes Deux
Georges Moustaki
We Are Two
We are two
We are two
Eight o'clock will soon strike
And hold the lamp, the keeper knocks
Tonight they will come back to see us
One goes ahead, one goes ahead
And the others follow behind
Then the silence and here it is
The same song that returns
One goes ahead, one goes ahead
And the others follow behind
Then the silence and here it is
The same song that returns
He knocks two
He knocks three
He knocks a thousand twenty-three
You hurt, you
And I hurt, me
Which of us two hurts the most?
The future will tell
We are two
We are three
We are a thousand twenty-three
With time, with rain
With the blood that dried it
And the pain that lives in us
That pierces us and nails us
We are two
We are three
We are a thousand twenty-three
With time, with rain
With the blood that dried it
And the pain that lives in us
That pierces us and nails us
Our pain will guide us
We are two
We are three
We are a thousand twenty-three
