Humbly He Came Lyrics

(Georges Moustaki) adaptation anglaise Graeme Allwright

Humbly he came, nobody knew his name.
He was so poorly dressed, looking for a place to rest.
Because his feet was bare, they didn't really care.
Humbly he came, nobody knew his name.
The words he said were good but no one understood
Though some of them received, so very few believed.
Humbly he came, nobody knew his name
Just asked for wine and bread, somewhere to lay his head
But he asked for so much more from the rich and from the poor.
So, humbly he came, his leaving was the sameGeorges Moustaki - Humbly He Came - http://motolyrics.com/georges-moustaki/humbly-he-came-lyrics.html
Like a ship without a crew, a stranger passing through.
He left the way he came, nobody cried his name.

Humbly he came and never came again.
It happened long ago, now, they would not let him go.
Women wear their nicest dress as for a much awaited guest.
Children call him by his name, invite him to their game.
Men keep a glass of wine to celebrate that time.
They will feast and sing and then, they will love and love and love again.

Humbly he came, nobody knew his name.
Humbly he came and never came again.
