The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Les Girafes" by Andre Bourvil.

Lyrics

Les girafes au long cou
Se promènent dans l'été brûlant
L'été brûlant
Si lentement
Le soleil est encore loin d’elles
Et leur cou est encore trop court
Elles courent comme des gazelles
Pour l’attraper
Et cette herbe qui monte si haut
C’est si bon de marcher dedans
De courir vers le grand étang
Boire un peu d’eau
Mais soudain, qui vient troubler l’horizon?
Qui sont ces curieux animaux?
Il paraît qu’ils vivent sans soleil
Dans des maisons

Lyrics translation

Giraffes with a long neck
Walk in the scorching summer
Scorching summer
So slowly
The sun is still far from them
And their neck is still too short
They run like gazelles
To catch it
And this grass that rises so high
It's so good to walk in it
To run to the Great Pond
Drink some water
But suddenly, who comes to disturb the horizon?
Who are these curious animals?
I hear they live without sun.
In houses
