Lyrics
De tous les animaux qui s'?l?vent dans l’air
Qui marchent sur la terre ou nagent dans la mer
De Paris au P? rou du Japon jusqu'? Rome
Le plus sot des animaux? mon avis c’est l’homme
Voil? l’homme en fait il va du blanc au noir
Il d? nigre au matin ses sentiments du soir
Si p? nible aux autres, en soi-m?me incommode
Il change d’attitude comme il change de mode
Est-ce qu'-on a d? j? vu dans les plaines d’Afrique
Saccager? a jusqu’au bout leur propre r? publique
Lions contre lions? l?phant contre? l?phant
Se combattre jusqu’aux os pour le solde d’un tyran
Calmes-toi me diras-tu, ?a ne sert? rien de s’exciter
L’homme a toutes ces vertus dont on oserait douter
Comme la mer il fait ces flots et il fait ces caprices
Mais ces moindres d? fauts occultent mal ces vices
Qui voudrait nous prouver par son discours profane
Que l’homme est merveilleux et m? rite mieux qu’un ?ne
Un? ne peut dire tout haut ce qu’il pense tout bas
Mais entre nous dis, docteur, que ne dirait-il pas
Lyrics translation
Of all the animals who's?l?wind in the air
Who walk on land or swim in the sea
From Paris to P? rou from Japan until? Rome
The dumbest animal? my opinion is the man
Voil? man actually it goes from white to black
The d? nigre in the morning his evening feelings
And p? in itself?it bothers me
He changes his attitude as he changes his fashion
Do we have d? j? seen in the plains of Africa
Saccager? has up to the end their own r? public
Lions against lions? l?phant against? l?phant
Fighting to the bone for the pay of a tyrant
Calm down, will you ?does it serve? nothing to get excited about
Man has all these virtues that one would dare to doubt
Like the sea it makes these waves and it makes these whims
But these least d? faults badly conceal these vices
Who would like to prove to us by his profane speech
That man is wonderful and m? rite better than one ?do
One? can't say up loud what he thinks down loud
But between us say, doctor, What wouldn't he say
