Lyrics
Le grand et le p’tit
Étaient deux amis
Le p’tit et le grand
N'étaient pas parents
Mais ils s’en foutaient bien
De n'être cousins
Ni neveu ni oncle
Mais ils s’en foutaient bien
Et soir et matin
On n' voyait pas l’autre sans l’un
Le grand et le p’tit
Étaient deux amis
Le p’tit de là-bas
Le grand, on n' sait pas
Mais Dieu, qu’ils s’en foutaient
D’avoir un accent
Qui ne soit le même
Mais Dieu, qu’ils s’en foutaient
À quoi bon parler?
D’un clin d' il, ils se comprenaient
Le grand et le p’tit
Étaient deux amis
Le p’tit voyait loin
Le grand n' voyait rien
Mais ils se souciaient peu
De ne pas porter
Les mêmes lunettes
Mais ils se souciaient peu
Ils allaient tous deux
Affronter le fer et le feu
Le grand et le p’tit
Étaient deux amis
On a tué le grand
Le p’tit en même temps
Mais on les a cachés
Aux coins opposés
D’une grande terre
Mais on les a cachés
Sans réaliser
Tout ce qu’on venait de gâcher
Le p’tit et le grand
N'étaient pas parents
Le grand et le p’tit
Étaient deux amis
Lyrics translation
The big and the little
Were two friends
The little and the big
Were not parents
But they didn't care.
Not being cousins
Neither nephew nor Uncle
But they didn't care.
And evening and morning
One could not see the other without one
The big and the little
Were two friends
The little one over there
The big one, we don't know
But God, they didn't care
To have an accent
Which is not the same
But God, they didn't care
What's the point of talking?
With a wink, they understood each other
The big and the little
Were two friends
The little one could see far away
The great could see nothing
But they cared little
Do not wear
The same glasses
But they cared little
They both went
Confront iron and fire
The big and the little
Were two friends
We killed the great
The little one at the same time
But we hid them.
At opposite corners
Of a great land
But we hid them.
Without realizing
Everything we just ruined
The little and the big
Were not parents
The big and the little
Were two friends
