Un enfant quitte Paris (original)Un enfant quitte Paris (translation)
Il s’en allait courant He was running away
Il s’en allait criant He went away screaming
Il s’en allait hurlant He went off screaming
Les mains sur les oreilles hands over ears
On voyait qu’il fuyait You could see he was running away
On voyait qu’il pleurait You could see he was crying
On voyait qu’il tremblait You could tell he was shaking
On disait qu’est-ce que c’est We said what is it
Un enfant quitte Paris A child leaves Paris
Il s’en va vers des merveilles He's going to wonders
Les merveilles de ces pays The Wonders of These Lands
Où l’oiseau fait encore son nid Where the bird still makes its nest
Il a dit ça fait mal He said it hurts
C’est dur c’est trop brutal It's hard it's too brutal
Ce vacarme infernal This infernal noise
Ça casse les oreilles It breaks your ears
Il a dit les autos He said cars
Les camions le métro The trucks the metro
Les usines les radios The factories the radios
Les bennes les marteaux The dumpsters the hammers
Un enfant quitte Paris A child leaves Paris
Il s’en va vers des merveilles He's going to wonders
Les merveilles de ces pays The Wonders of These Lands
Où l’oiseau fait encore son nid Where the bird still makes its nest
Qu’est-ce que nous deviendrons What will we become
Si les enfants s’en vont If the children leave
Si le soir nous n’avons If in the evening we don't have
Plus jamais leur sourire Never again their smile
Et j’ai voulu crier And I wanted to scream
J’ai voulu appeler I wanted to call
J’ai voulu alerter I wanted to warn
Toute la société The whole company
Mais y avait les autos But there were the cars
Les camions le métro The trucks the metro
Les usines les radios The factories the radios
Les marteaux et les bennes hammers and buckets
Il y avait tout Paris There was all Paris
Qui faisait trop de bruit Who made too much noise
Et nul ne m’entendit And no one heard me
Il y a trop de bruit There is too much noise
Il y a trop de bruit There is too much noise
Il y a trop de bruit…There is too much noise…
