Lyrics
C'était un petit village
En terre de France
Une église au clocher sage
Et du silence
On y vivait gentiment
Et sans tapage
Mais c’est fini maintenant
Le petit village
Au fond de la vallée
Un méchant barrage
Va bientôt le noyer
Pan! Pan! Monsieur le Préfet
Pan! Pan! C’est bien fait
Et les pandores ont tiré
Sur le vieux paysan
Mais il avait pris la clef des champs
Le petit village
Au fond de la vallée
Un méchant barrage
Va bientôt le noyer
Et malgrétous les barrages
Les recompenses
Il court encore, le sauvage
Quelle malchance
On dit qu’il vit paisiblement
Dans son village
Cachépar les habitants
Le petit village
Au fond de la vallée
Un méchant barrage
Va bientôt le noyer
Pan! Pan! Monsieur le Préfet
Pan! Pan! C’est bien fait
Il fallait pas inonder
Mon village et mes champs
Ça rend les gens gentils très méchants
Le petit village
Au fond de la vallée
Un méchant barrage
Va bientôt le noyer
Le petit village
Au fond de la vallée
Un méchant barrage
Va bientôt le noyer
Lyrics translation
It was a small village
In terre de France
A church with a wise bell tower
And silence
We lived there nicely
And no fuss
But it's over now
The small village
At the bottom of the Valley
A nasty barrage
Go drown him soon
Pan! Pan! Mr. Prefect
Pan! Pan! It is well done
And the pandores fired
On the old peasant
But he had taken the key to the fields
The small village
At the bottom of the Valley
A nasty barrage
Go drown him soon
And despite all the dams
Reward
He's still running, the wild
What bad luck
It is said that he lives peacefully
In his village
Hidden by the locals
The small village
At the bottom of the Valley
A nasty barrage
Go drown him soon
Pan! Pan! Mr. Prefect
Pan! Pan! It is well done
You didn't have to flood.
My village and my fields
It makes nice people very bad
The small village
At the bottom of the Valley
A nasty barrage
Go drown him soon
The small village
At the bottom of the Valley
A nasty barrage
Go drown him soon
