Où étais-tu pendant tout ce temps ?

Chanté par Colette Magny, de l'album Chansons pour Titine, 1983

Yes he turned and he walked
Past the eyes of my life
And he nodded and sang without sound
And his face had the look
Of a man who knew strife
And a feeling familiarly came around
I said man
Where have you been for all these years
Man where were you when I sought you
Man do you know me as I know you
Man am I coming through

And he spoke in a voice

That was centuries old
And be smiled in a way that was strange
And his full lips of night
Spoke about our people's plight
And a feeling familiarly came around
I said man
Where have you been for all these years
Man where were you when I sought you
Man do you know me as I know you
Man am I coming through

And we sat and we talked

About freedom and things
And he told me about what he dreamed
But I knew of that dream
Long before he had spoke
And a feeling familiarly came around
I said man
Where have you been for all these years
Man where were you when I sought you
Man do you know me as I know you
Man am I coming through
