Original text with translation
Georges Moustaki
Le petit homme
Portait un uniforme
Et des souliers vernis
Le grand homme allait les pieds nus
Le petit homme
Serrait dans ses poings
La crosse d’un fusil
Le grand homme avait les mains nus
Le petit homme
Portait dans son sac
Les oiseaux qu’il avait tués
Le grand homme ramassait des fruits
Le petit homme
Marchait sur l’asphalte
Des routes bien tracées
Le grand homme allait à travers champs
Ils auraient pu ne jamais se rencontrer
Pourtant un jour les deux routes se croisèrent
Le petit homme prit peur et recula
Il arma son fusil
Le grand homme en souriant tendit les mains vers lui
Et le coup partit
The little man
Wore a uniform
And polished shoes
The tall man went barefoot
The little man
Clenched in his fists
The butt of a rifle
The big man had his hands bare
The little man
Carried in his bag
The birds he had killed
The tall man was picking fruit
The little man
Walked on the asphalt
Well-marked roads
The tall man was going across fields
They could have never met
Yet one day the two roads crossed
The little man got scared and stepped back
He cocked his gun
The tall man smiling extended his hands to him
And the shot went
