Foreigner - Jordan Mackampa

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
