Lyrics
Sous le soleil la terre se fend pour cet homme et pour son enfant
Apr�s le puits qu’il faut creuser, il reste un sillon � tracer…
Sans attendre…
Apprendre… � lire, � �crire, � compter
Ouvrir les portes encore ferm�es sur ce savoir accumul�
Qu’on lui en donne un jour la cl�, il a le monde � sa port�e…
Lire… Apprendre � lire entre les lignes, d�couvrir la magie des signes
Et les tr�sors in�puisables qu’on emporte dans son cartable
Comprendre… C’est comme un mur que l’on traverse
C’est la brume qui se disperse
Une promesse encore plus belle, la connaissance universelle
Compter… Apprendre � compter sur soi-m�me
� compter pour ceux qui vous aiment
Pour faire aussi partie du nombre pouvoir enfin sortir de l’ombre
Comprendre… Combien la vie peut �tre belle
Et se mettre � compter pour elle
Faire la somme de sa diff�rence et se soustraire � l’ignorance
�crire… Apprendre � �crire son histoire
� la plume et au crayon noir
En appliquant son �criture, raconter sa propre aventure…
Surprendre… Cueillir ses mots comme des fleurs
Semer des graines au long des c? urs
Confier son �me et sa m�moire � celui qui viendra plus tard
Pour cet enfant � son pupitre, tirer la langue sur le titre
�crire son nom sur son cahier, c’est plonger vers sa libert�.
Lyrics translation
Under the sun the Earth cleaves for this man and his child
After the well to be dug, there is still a furrow to be traced…
Without waiting…
To learn ... to read, to crire, to count
Open the doors still firmly on this accumulated knowledge
That one day we give him the cl so, he has the world Cote his port so e…
Read ... learn how to read between the lines, how to cover the magic of the signs
And the tr rijes out in rijes puisables that we take in his satchel
Understanding ... it's like a wall you walk through
It is the mist that disperses
An even more beautiful promise, universal knowledge
Count on ... Learn to count on yourself-m hace me
to count for those who love you
To be also part of the number can finally get out of the shadows
Understand ... how beautiful life can be
And get ready to count for it
Sum up its difference and evade ignorance
cette crire ... learn cette crire its history
black pen and pencil
By applying his Criture, tell his own adventure…
Surprise ... picking his words like flowers
Sowing seeds along the c? URS
Conferring his coy me and his M coy moire the one who will come later
For this child to his desk, pull the tongue on the title
to write his name on his notebook is to dive towards his freedom.
