Lyrics
Le petit cheval dans le mauvais temps,
Qu’il avait donc du courage!
C’était un petit cheval blanc,
Tous derrière et lui devant.
Il n’y avait jamais de beau temps
Dans ce pauvre paysage.
Il n’y avait jamais de printemps,
Ni derrière ni devant.
Mais toujours il était content,
Menant les gars du village,
À travers la pluie noire des champs,
Tous derrière et lui devant.
Sa voiture allait poursuivant
Sa belle petite queue sauvage.
C’est alors qu’il était content,
Tous derrière et lui devant.
Mais un jour dans le mauvais temps,
Un jour qu’il était si sage,
Il est mort par un éclair blanc,
Tous derrière et lui devant.
Il est mort sans voir le beau temps,
Qu’il avait donc du courage!
Il est mort sans voir le printemps,
Ni derrière ni devant.
Lyrics translation
The little horse in bad weather, so that he had courage!
It was a little white horse, all behind and him in front.
There was never good weather in this poor landscape.
There was never a spring, neither behind nor in front.
But still he was happy, leading the guys from the village, through the Black Rain of the fields, all behind and in front of him.
His car was chasing his beautiful little wild tail.
It was then that he was happy, all behind and him in front.
But one day in bad weather, one day he was so wise, he died by a White Lightning, all behind and him in front.
He died without seeing the good weather, so he had courage!
He died without seeing the spring, neither behind nor in front.
