lyrics

Ils ont jeté au feu leurs cahiers
Déserté leurs bancs d'écoliers
Dans l'insouciance
Les enfants se sont mis à jouer

Stupeur des enseignants désarmés
Aucun ne veut plus travailler
Dans l'allégeance
Sur le sol ils dessinent à la craie

Ils font des cabanes en cartables
Et jouent à des jeux inventés
Quand la nuit tombe
Certains continuent de jouer

Le jour se lève ils n'ont pas dormi
Mais les bureaucrates ont trahi
On aperçoit déjà
Au loin les militaires en treillis

Bruit de bottes et vol noir des corbeaux
Des gamins sous les lacrymos
Mains sur la tête
Tous en rang et salut au drapeau

Soudain l'un d'eux chante à tue-tête
Les amis cessons de pleurer !
Que cela cesse !
Nous n'irons plus jamais travailler !

Amis ne pleurons plus sur nos chaînes
Tous à l'assaut de nos rêves

___

Children


They threw their notebooks into fire
Deserted their school benches
Carefree
The children started to play

Stunned disarmed teachers
None of them want to work anymore
In allegiance
On the ground they draw with chalk

They make huts with school bags
And play invented games
When night is falling
Some keep playing

Daybreak they haven't slept
But the bureaucrats have betrayed
We can already see
In the distance the soldiers in lattice

Sounds of boots and black flight of crows
Kids under tear gas
Hands on the head
Everybody in row and salute to the flag

Suddenly one of them sang loudly
Friends stop crying !
Let it stop !
We’ll never go to work again !

Friends, no longer cry on our channels
Everybody stand for our dreams
