Where are people when you need 'em? When you need some help They're just not around Doesn't anybody work here? I ain't got all day What a crazy town New York Life in the city can be so hard But after dark New energy finds me I light up the night and live like a star In the evening the real me comes alive I can feel it In the evening something happens that I can't describe But it helps me to survive It's like magic, like something in the air You can feel it Close your eyes now and your heart will take you there Just let it take you there Monday morning in the line at the bank Standing around trying to cash a cheque To pay for your, One room apartment with a beautiful view On the alley in the back All day You've got to fight to defend your rights Everyday I work like a soldier Working to live, living for the night In the evening the real me comes alive I can feel it In the evening something happens that I can't describe But it helps me to survive It's like magic, like something in the air You can feel it Close your eyes now and your heart will take you there Just let it take you there Feel it, Magic, Feel it, New York In the evening the real me comes alive I can feel it In the evening something happens that I can't describe But it helps me to survive It's like magic, like something in the air You can feel it Close your eyes now and your heart will take you there Just let it take you there In the evening the real me comes alive I can feel it In the evening something happens that I can't describe But it helps me to survive It's like magic, like something in the air You can feel it Close your eyes now and your heart will take you there Just let it take you there

J'ai vu l'Orient dans son écrin Avec la lune pour bannière Et je comptais en un quatrain Chanter au monde sa lumière Mais quand j'ai vu Jérusalem Coquelicot sur un rocher J'ai entendu un requiem Quand sur lui je me suis penché Ne vois-tu pas humble chapelle Toi qui murmures paix sur la terre Que les oiseaux cachent de leurs ailes Ces lettres de feu, danger frontière Le chemin mène à la frontière Tu voudrais bien remplir ton saut Arrête-toi Marie-Magdeleine Pour ton corps ne vaut pas l'eau Inch'Allah, Inch'Allah Inch'Allah, Inch'Allah Et l'olivier pleure son ombre Sa tendre épouse, son amie Qui reposait sur les décombres Prisonnière en terre ennemie Sur une épine de barbelé Le papillon guette la rose Les gens sont si écervelés Qu'ils me répudieront si j'ose Requiem pour six millions d'âmes Qui n'ont pas leur mausolée de marbre Et qui malgré le sable infâme Ont fait pousser six millions d'arbres Inch'Allah, Inch'Allah Inch'Allah, Inch'Allah
