Who? Songtext

von Martin Guerre

JUDGE:
Silence! Benoit. Who is this man?

BENOIT:
Who knows who you know
And who knows if it's true
I know I have a name
But who knows if it's true?
I have one name
But all of you have two
So who knows
Don't even know who chose
My name, was it you?

If I call him Martin then he's Martin to me
If he calls me Benoit then I have to agree

Who?

VILLAGERS:
Who?

BENOIT:
He's who?

VILLAGERS:
Who?

BENOIT:
Who he?

VILLAGERS:
No!

BENOIT:
I see, who is he?

VILLAGERS:
You will see what happens
If you play this game
You will hang beside the man
Who stole a name

JUDGE:
Let him finish what he has to say
He's doing the best that he can
Now tell me Benoit, who is this man?

FATHER DOMINIC:
His name, Benoit!

EMILE:
Come on fool!

VILLAGERS:
Speak Benoit speak!

BENOIT:
Who knows who is who
You never know for sure
And now you ask for me
You never asked before
You call me fool
In know that's not my name
See, it's strange
Names can always change
Yet I'm still the same

Who can say why Louison has such beautiful hair?
Can I know who he is if I'm not Martin Guerre?

Who?

VILLAGERS:
Who?

BENOIT:
He's who?

VILLAGERS:
Who?

BENOIT:
Who he?

VILLAGERS:
No!

BENOIT:
I see, who is he?

VILLAGERS:
You will see what happens
If you play this game
You will hang beside the man
Who stole a name

JUDGE:
I will have every one of you thrown out of court
If this turmoil happens once more
Just tell the truth, you're protected in here
Tell me now! Benoit, who is this man?

BENOIT:
Yes! He's who you all want him to be for you
