| Huit millions de tes frères |
| Génocides naguère |
| Sur ce qui fut la terre |
| Sacrée de tes ancêtres |
| Et ils sont toujours fiers |
| Du général Custer |
| Des héros légendaires |
| De la conquête de l’ouest |
| Du Buffalo Bill ce con |
| Qui tuait les bisons |
| Comme on tire au pigeon |
| Débile Buffalo |
| D’Davy Crockett ce fou |
| Dont les renards, les loups |
| Se souviennent surtout |
| Parce qu’il leur fit la peau |
| Entendras-tu ces mots |
| De derrière tes barreaux |
| Leonard |
| Du fond de ta cellule |
| Dis-leur qu’on les encule |
| Ces connards |
| Ce peuple de barbares |
| Ce pays blanc et noir |
| A construit son pouvoir |
| Sur le sang des Cheyenne |
| Mais les livres d’histoire |
| Ont perdu la mémoire |
| Pas un mot à la gloire |
| De ces nations Indiennes |
| Qui respectaient la vie |
| Et la terre et ses fruits |
| Et prêtaient aux fourmis |
| Une âme magnifique |
| Pas de drapeaux en berne |
| Pour qu’un môme se souvienne |
| De cette Shoah ancienne |
| Qui a bâti l’Amérique |
| Entendras-tu ces mots |
| De derrière tes barreaux |
| Leonard |
| Du fond de ta cellule |
| Dis-leur qu’on les encule |
| Ces connards |
| Tes frangins survivants |
| Quelques milliers pourtant |
| Furent bien gentiment |
| Parqués comme bétail |
| Dans des réserves sordides |
| Où vous crevez, tranquilles |
| Alcool, drogues, suicides |
| Loin du monde qui braille |
| Toi tu as pris ton fusil |
| Pour refuser l’oubli |
| Tu n’as pas leur folie |
| Tu as tiré en l’air |
| Et tu as pris perpette |
| Trente ans que tu végètes |
| À l’ombre des tempètes |
| Qui agitent la terre |
| Entendras-tu ces mots |
| De derrière tes barreaux |
| Leonard |
| Du fond de ta cellule |
| Dis-leur qu’on les encule |
| Ces connards |
| Je vis très loin de toi |
| Mais, tu sais, je suis là |
| Tu entendras ma voix |
| Un jour dans les nuages |
| Au pays de Voltaire |
| Résonne la colère |
| Contre ces tortionnaires |
| Qui t’ont jeté en cage |
| Puisse un jour ma chanson |
| Aux murs de ta prison |
| Ouvrir un horizon |
| D’amour et de lumière |
| Devenir un totem |
| Pour te dire «je t’aime «L'innocent qu’on enchaîne |
| Sera toujours mon frère |
| Entendras-tu ces mots |
| De derrière tes barreaux |
| Leonard |
| Du fond de ta cellule |
| Dis-leur qu’on les encule |
| Ces connards |
| (translation) |
| Eight million of your brothers |
| Former genocides |
| On what was the earth |
| Sacred to your ancestors |
| And they are always proud |
| From General Custer |
| legendary heroes |
| Of the Conquest of the West |
| Some Buffalo Bill that jerk |
| who killed bison |
| Like shooting a pigeon |
| stupid buffalo |
| D'Davy Crockett that crazy |
| Including foxes, wolves |
| Mostly remember |
| Because he killed them |
| Will you hear these words |
| From behind your bars |
| Leonard |
| From the bottom of your cell |
| Tell them we fuck them |
| These assholes |
| This people of barbarians |
| This black and white country |
| Built his power |
| On Cheyenne blood |
| But the history books |
| Have lost their memory |
| Not a word to fame |
| Of these Indian nations |
| Who respected life |
| And the earth and its fruits |
| And lent to the ants |
| A beautiful soul |
| No flags at half mast |
| For a kid to remember |
| Of this ancient Holocaust |
| Who Built America |
| Will you hear these words |
| From behind your bars |
| Leonard |
| From the bottom of your cell |
| Tell them we fuck them |
| These assholes |
| Your surviving brothers |
| A few thousand though |
| Were very kindly |
| herded like cattle |
| In sordid reserves |
| Where you die, quiet |
| Alcohol, drugs, suicides |
| Far from the bawling world |
| You took your gun |
| To refuse oblivion |
| You don't have their madness |
| You shot in the air |
| And you took life |
| Thirty years that you vegetate |
| In the shadow of the storms |
| Who shake the earth |
| Will you hear these words |
| From behind your bars |
| Leonard |
| From the bottom of your cell |
| Tell them we fuck them |
| These assholes |
| I live very far from you |
| But, you know, I'm here |
| You will hear my voice |
| A day in the clouds |
| In the land of Voltaire |
| Anger resounds |
| Against these torturers |
| Who threw you in a cage |
| May my song one day |
| To the walls of your prison |
| Open a horizon |
| Of love and light |
| Become a totem |
| To tell you "I love you" The innocent that we chain |
| Will always be my brother |
| Will you hear these words |
| From behind your bars |
| Leonard |
| From the bottom of your cell |
| Tell them we fuck them |
| These assholes |
