L'homme qui n'avait pas de maison [English translation]

He wore only a large hat

A cane and a long coat

He slept on the old benches

Of the park where one often went

He drew rainbows

On the paving stones, under the skyscrapers

He Slept beside an unusual bag

Where he hid his steel guitar

We told stories about

The homeless man.

If he had lost his reason

He had not lost his memory

The homeless man

Always had a beautiful smile

A big smile that says a lot

When those who speak have nothing to say

He wore only a large hat

A cane and a long coat

He slept on the old benches

Of the park where one often went

He drew rainbows

On the paving stones, under the skyscrapers

He slept beside an unusual bag

Where he hid his steel guitar

The homeless man

Had engraved on his face

Cruelty that the seasons

Left in their path

The homeless man

Put his heart in a bottle

From which he drew all the affection

That he misses upon awakening

He wore only a large hat

A cane and a long coat

He slept on the old benches

Of the park where one often went

He drew rainbows

On the paving stones, under the skyscrapers

He slept beside an unusual bag

Where he hid his steel guitar
