Foreigner

(альбом: Foreigner - 2020)

Misunderstood
At an early age
At an early age
I couldn't read the signs
I couldn't read the pages
I couldn't read the pages
I felt like a stranger
So I didn't speak
I didn't speak
I just said

Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
When they spoke to me
I just said
Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
Pardon, je n'ai pas compris

As time seemed to pass
And I learned the language
I learnt the language
But I felt disconnected
From my mothers tongue
I couldn't understand it
And she looked at me
With such disbelief
Is when I couldn't speak
I just said

Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
When she spoke to me
And I just said
Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
Pardon, je n'ai pas compris

But I seem to find my way around
These complicated foreign sounds
But had no-one had told me there would be
All of these changes
This city's an awful place to be
It's poisoned the air I breathe
And I will not stay where I'm not wanted
But I don't want to leave

So no matter where I go
I know where I came from
I know where I came from
'Cause I speak in a tone
That speaks to the soul
And you know how it goes

When it says
Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
When it spoke to me
When it says
Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
When it spoke to me
Mais je n'ai pas compris
