Le petit âne gris(original) |
| Ecoutez cette histoire |
| Que l’on m’a racontée |
| Du fond de ma mémoire |
| Je vais vous la chanter |
| Elle se passe en Provence |
| Au milieu des moutons |
| Dans le sud de la France |
| Au pays des santons |
| Quand il vint au domaine |
| Y avait un beau troupeau |
| Les étables étaient pleines |
| De brebis et d’agneaux |
| Marchant toujours en tête |
| Aux premières lueurs |
| Pour tirer sa charrette |
| Il mettait tout son cœur |
| Au temps des transhumances |
| Il s’en allait heureux |
| Remontant la Durance |
| Honnête et courageux |
| Mais un jour, de Marseille |
| Des messieurs sont venus |
| La ferme était bien vieille |
| Alors on l’a vendue |
| Il resta au village |
| Tout le monde l’aimait bien |
| Vaillant, malgré son âge |
| Et malgré son chagrin |
| Image d'évangile |
| Vivant d’humilité |
| Il se rendait utile |
| Auprés du cantonnier |
| Cette vie honorable |
| Un soir, s’est terminée |
| Dans le fond d’une étable |
| Tout seul il s’est couché |
| Pauvre bête de somme |
| Il a fermé les yeux |
| Abandonne des hommes |
| Il est mort sans adieux |
| Mm mm mmm mm… |
| Cette chanson sans gloire |
| Vous racontait la vie |
| Vous racontait l’histoire |
| D’un petit âne gris… |
| (translation) |
| Listen to this story |
| What I was told |
| From the depths of my memory |
| I will sing it to you |
| It takes place in Provence |
| Among the sheep |
| In the south of France |
| In the country of the santons |
| When he came to the estate |
| There was a fine herd |
| The stables were full |
| Of ewes and lambs |
| Always walking ahead |
| At first light |
| To pull his cart |
| He put his whole heart |
| In times of transhumance |
| He went away happy |
| Going up the Durance |
| Honest and Courageous |
| But one day from Marseille |
| Gentlemen have come |
| The farm was very old |
| So we sold it |
| He stayed in the village |
| Everyone liked him |
| Valiant, despite his age |
| And in spite of her sorrow |
| gospel picture |
| Living in humility |
| He made himself useful |
| With the roadmender |
| This honorable life |
| One night ended |
| In the back of a stable |
| He slept alone |
| Poor workhorse |
| He closed his eyes |
| Abandon men |
| He died without a goodbye |
| Mm mm mmm mm… |
| This inglorious song |
| Told you about life |
| Told you the story |
| From a little gray donkey... |
