1 Sur la route parapampampam
Petit tambour s’en va parapampampam
Il sent son coeur qui bat parapampampam
Au rythme de ses pas parapampampam
Rapampampam, rapampampam
Oh ! petit enfant pamrapampam,
Où vas-tu?
2 Hier mon père, parapam…
A suivi le tambour…
Le tambour des soldats…
Et je m’en vais au ciel…
Va, je veux donner pour son retour
Mon tambour.
3 Tous les anges…
Ont pris leur beau tambour…
Et ont dit à l’enfant…
Ton père est de retour…
Et l’enfant s'éveille…
Sur son tamobur.

1 on the road parapampampam
Little drum leaves forpampampam
He feels his heart beating parapampampam
To the rhythm of his steps parapampampam
Rapampampam, rapampampam
Oh ! small child pamrapampam,
Where Are you going?
2 Yesterday my father, parapam…
Followed the drum…
The drum of soldiers…
And I'm going to heaven…
Go, I want to give for his return
My drum.
3 All Angels…
Took their beautiful drum…
And told the child…
Your father is back…
And the child wakes up…
On his tamobur.
