Translation
Bilingual
Have you seen the old man
In the closed-down market
Kicking up the papers
With his worn-out shoes?
In his eyes, you see no pride
Hands held loosely by his side
Yesterday's papers telling yesterday's news
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something that will make you change your mind
ย
Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
She's no time for talking
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something that will make you change your mind
ย
In the all night cafรฉ
At a quarter past 11
Same old man, sitting there on his own
Looking at the world
Over the rim of his tea cup
Each tea lasts an hour
Then he wanders home alone
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something that will make you change your mind
How can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something that will make you change your mind
