Les Rues de Philadelphie
Patrick Bruel
The Streets of Philadelphia
I was hurt, damaged
I didn't feel anything anymore
I didn't recognize myself
I saw my reflection in the mirror
It wasn't my face
It wasn't really me
Oh, my brother, will you leave me, street of Philadelphia?
Oh, my brother, will you leave me, street of Philadelphia?
I walked on this boulevard
Until my legs were hard
Like stone
I heard the voices
Of lost friends
I felt the blood pumping in my veins
Like the black rain, beating against a wall, street of Philadelphia
Like the black rain, beating against a wall, street of Philadelphia
No angel will pity me
There's only you and me left
My clothes don't fit me anymore
I've walked so many kilometers
I think I can't take it anymore
Now the night falls
But I'm awake
And I feel myself fading
So, take me away, my brother
With this last kiss
Take me far away
We're not going to leave each other like this, street of Philadelphia
We're not... We're not going to leave each other
Like this, alone, street of Philadelphia
We're not going to leave each other, alone, like this...
No, we're not going to leave each other, alone, like this...
In the streets of Paris... Or Philadelphia...
Paris... Philadelphia...
Elsewhere...
Paris... Philadelphia...
