lyrics

Tu m’as pris pour voyager, pour voyager dans le gran bois.
Pour voyager dans le gran bois, pour combattre la misere
et pleurer de la créve de faim.

J‚ai passe devant la porte, la porte de ton papa.
Il etait assis sous un arbre, apres charcouter la misere,
et pleurer de la créve de faim.

J‚ai passe devant la porte, la porte de ta maman.
Elle etait assis sur la gallerie, apres radouter la misere,
et pleurer de la créve de faim.

J‚ai passe devant la porte, devant la porte de ta maison.
Moi j‚etais dans mon buggy ,
Apres, crier la misere
et pleurer avec mon grand top.
