Lyrics of Le Petit Indien (1955) - Henri Salvador

Le Petit Indien (1955) (original)

Petit indien s’en allait
Sur son joli cano?
Et tout le long il chantait
Oh?
Au rythme de sa pagaie
Voguant vers sa bien aim?
e Il avait le c?
ur si gai
Oh?
Les lianes le caressaient
Et les bambous s'?cartaient
Pour laisser son cano?
Passer
Les oiseaux du voisinage
Se disaient dans leur langage
«Prenons bien soin du petit indien»
Oui, mais quand la nuit fut venue,
Dans son nid, chacun disparu
Il fut seul et la lune bleue
Ferma ses yeux
Petit indien sommeillait
Mais par bonheur, une fille
Sur la rivi?
re enchant?
e Veillait
Et des poissons argent?
s Toute la nuit ont nag?
En guidant son cano?
L?
ger
Eveill?
par un baiser
Il se dit «C'est la ros?
e»
Mais s'?tait sa bien aim?
e Oh?
L’amour chassant les obstacles
Avait sem?
les miracles
Sur le chemin du petit indien
Oh?
!
Oh?
!
Oh?
!

(translation)

Little Indian was leaving
On his pretty canoe?
And all along he was singing
Oh?
To the rhythm of his paddle
Sailing to his beloved?
e He had the c?
ur so cheerful
Oh?
The creepers caressed him
And the bamboos parted
To leave his canoe?
Pass
Neighborhood birds
Said to each other in their language
"Let's take good care of the little Indian"
Yes, but when the night had come,
In his nest, everyone disappeared
He was alone and the blue moon
Closed her eyes
Little Indian dozed
But luckily a girl
On the river?
re enchanted?
e Watched
What about silverfish?
s All night have nag?
Guiding his canoe?
L?
ger
awake
with a kiss
He's like "Is this the ros?
e»
But was his beloved?
e Oh?
Love Chasing Obstacles
Had sown?
the miracles
On the path of the little Indian
Oh?
!
Oh?
!
Oh?
!
