L'enfant au tambour - Nana Mouskouri

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?

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.

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 tambour.

On the road, parapampampam

Little drum goes away, parapampampam.

He feels his beating heart, parapampampam,

To the rhythm of his footsteps, parapampampam,

Rapampampam, rapampampam.

Oh !

small child, pamrapampam,

Where are you going?

Yesterday my father, parapam…

Followed the drum...

The Drum of the Soldiers...

And I'm going to heaven...

Go, I want to give, for his return,

My drum.

All the angels...

Took their beautiful drum...

And said to the child...

"Your father is back..."

And the child wakes up...

On his drum.
