IL n'a plus un seul ami je crois

Parfois IL reve la nuit
Sometimes HE dreams at night
Parfois IL coupe son bois
Sometimes HE cuts his wood
Oui mais IL parle aux oiseaux
Yes but HE speaks to the birds
Au soleil et aux forets
In the sun and the forests
Oui mais IL parle aux ruisseaux
Yes but HE speaks to the streams
Parfois quand le temps n'est pas trop froid
Sometimes when the weather isn't too cold
IL ne lit pas les journaux
