Le petit homme et le grand homme(original) |
Le petit homme |
Portait un uniforme |
Et des souliers vernis |
Le grand homme allait les pieds nus |
Le petit homme |
Serrait dans ses poings |
La crosse d’un fusil |
Le grand homme avait les mains nus |
Le petit homme |
Portait dans son sac |
Les oiseaux qu’il avait tués |
Le grand homme ramassait des fruits |
Le petit homme |
Marchait sur l’asphalte |
Des routes bien tracées |
Le grand homme allait à travers champs |
Ils auraient pu ne jamais se rencontrer |
Pourtant un jour les deux routes se croisèrent |
Le petit homme prit peur et recula |
Il arma son fusil |
Le grand homme en souriant tendit les mains vers lui |
Et le coup partit |
(translation) |
The little man |
Wore a uniform |
And polished shoes |
The tall man went barefoot |
The little man |
Clenched in his fists |
The butt of a rifle |
The big man had his hands bare |
The little man |
Carried in his bag |
The birds he had killed |
The tall man was picking fruit |
The little man |
Walked on the asphalt |
Well-marked roads |
The tall man was going across fields |
They could have never met |
Yet one day the two roads crossed |
The little man got scared and stepped back |
He cocked his gun |
The tall man smiling extended his hands to him |
And the shot went |
