Lyrics
Il s’en allait courant
Il s’en allait criant
Il s’en allait hurlant
Les mains sur les oreilles
On voyait qu’il fuyait
On voyait qu’il pleurait
On voyait qu’il tremblait
On disait qu’est-ce que c’est
Un enfant quitte Paris
Il s’en va vers des merveilles
Les merveilles de ces pays
Où l’oiseau fait encore son nid
Il a dit ç a fait mal
C’est dur c’est trop brutal
Ce vacarme infernalÇa casse les oreilles
Il a dit les autos
Les camions le mÃ(c)tro
Les usines les radios
Les bennes les marteaux
Un enfant quitte Paris
Il s’en va vers des merveilles
Les merveilles de ces pays
Où l’oiseau fait encore son nid
Qu’est-ce que nous deviendrons
Si les enfants s’en vont
Si le soir nous n’avons
Plus jamais leur sourire
Et j’ai voulu crier
J’ai voulu appeler
J’ai voulu alerter
Toute la sociÃ(c)tÃ(c)Mais y avait les autos
Les camions le mÃ(c)tro
Les usines les radios
Les marteaux et les bennes
Il y avait tout Paris
Qui faisait trop de bruit
Et nul ne m’entendit
Il y a trop de bruit
Il y a trop de bruit
Il y a trop de bruit…
Lyrics translation
He was running away
He was screaming.
He was leaving screaming
Hands on ears
You could see he was running away.
You could see he was crying.
You could see he was shaking.
We used to say what it is
A child leaves Paris
He goes to wonders
The wonders of these countries
Where the bird still makes its nest
He said it hurt
It's hard it's too brutal
This infernal noise breaks the ears
He said the cars
Lorries on the mà (c)tro
The factories the radios
The dumpsters the Hammers
A child leaves Paris
He goes to wonders
The wonders of these countries
Where the bird still makes its nest
What will we become
If the children leave
If in the evening we have
Never again their smile
And I wanted to scream
I wanted to call
I wanted to alert
The whole company(C)tà (C) but there were cars
Lorries on the mà (c)tro
The factories the radios
Hammers and dumpers
There was All Paris
That was too loud
And no one heard me
There's too much noise
There's too much noise
There's too much noise…
