Libertango - Sharon Shannon, Kirsty MacColl

Strange, I’ve seen that face before

Seen him hanging round my door

Like a hawk stealing for the prey

Like the night waiting for the day

Strange, he shadows me back home

Footsteps echo on the stone

Rainy nights on Haussmann Boulevard

Parisian music drifting from the bars

Tu cherches quoi (What are you looking for?)

A rencontrer la mort?

(to meet your death?)

Tu te prends pour qui?

(Who do you think you are?)

Toi aussi, tu detestes la vie (You hate life too)

Dance in bars and restaurants

Home with anyone who wants

Strange, he’s standing there alone

Staring eyes chill me to the bone

Dans sa chambre (In her room)

Joëlle et sa valise (Joëlle and her suitcase)

Un regard sur ses fringues (a glance at her clothes)

Sur les murs des photos sans regret (on the walls some pictures without regrets)

Sans melo?, la porte est claquee (without melodrama, the door is shut)?

Joëlle est barre (Joëlle is gone)?
