Djurdjura - Djur Djura - A Nanna - My Elder Sister

Lyrics:

He said, "I am an orphan,
My lot is a beggar's lot."
So I held out my hand to him.
Are not our roots the same?
Whether your from Barbes
Or Nanterre or Aubervilliers
My brother
You will always be
The stranger
He said, "Which road must I take?
Here, I feel lost
Please,
I beg you,
Take me with you."
And then my heart broke.
Whether your from Barbes...
He said, "My country is a dream.
But which door must I open?
I am rootless."
