Kangourou, kangourou,
Mon gentil kangourou
Aux yeux verts au poil roux,
On t'aimait ici beaucoup.
On t'avait rapporté
Du pays des grands étés,
D'Australie,
Dans un lit,
Un petit lit de paille bien joli.
Kangourou, kangourou,
Les premiers jours furent si doux.
Tu sautais comme un fou,
Gambadant un peu partout.
Sous les arbres, dans leurs fleurs,
Tu faisais le joli cœur.
Les voisins sans courroux
Disaient : "Qu'il est gentil, ce kangourou."
Tu grandis, tu grandis.
Le jardin devint trop p'tit.
A la fin, rassasié
De jouer à saute-rosier,
Saute-lilas, saute-gazon,
Un beau jour, tu fis un bond
Et franchit, c'est malin
Le mur de la maison de Saint Paulin.
Un gendarme qui passait
S'écria : "Mais qu'est-c'que c'est
Que ce gros lapin d'choux
Qui saut' le mur de chez vous ?"
Je lui dis : "Ce lapin,
M'sieur l'gendarm' c'est un copain."
Sans m'entendre, il t'emmène
Pour t'enfermer au Zoo de Vincennes.
Nous venions le jeudi
T'apporter des fruits confits.
Tristement, tu r'gardais
Les badauds qui te badaient
Et ton exil semblait dire :
"Est-ce bien vrai ou est-ce pour rire
Ou pour faire un'chanson
Que tu m'as fait jeter dans cett' prison ?"
Vint l'automne le temps froid
Et je compris ce jour, ma foi,
En venant un jeudi
Que tu allais mourir d'ennui.
J'eus alors du chagrin
De t'avoir ram'né de si loin
Sans savoir que ton bonheur,
C'était de vivr' du pays de ton cœur.
Kangourou, kangourou,
Tu partis, gentil comm' tout,
Pour des lieux merveilleux
Où l'on voit passer l'Bon Dieu,
Mais parfois, quand l'soleil
Brise de ses rayons vermeils
La pluie fine du mois d'août,
Je crois te voir là-haut, mon kangourou.
Librement, librement,
Tu gambades au firmament.
Sur de beaux nuag's perché,
Tu t'amuses à saute-clocher,
Saut' le toit d'la maison,
Saut' les vers de ma chanson,
Loin des cages des verrous
Et sans raucune pour moi, mon kangourou.
Charles Trenet (Louis Charles Auguste Claude Trenet), born May 18, 1913, in Narbonne and died February 19, 2001, in Créteil, was a highly successful French singer-songwriter. His career began in the 1930s and reached its peak between the late 1930s and the mid-1950s, although it continued until the 1990s. Trenet distinguished himself by writing most of his songs, refusing to record songs composed by other artists during a period when it was rare for singers to write their own material. Among his most famous successes are "La Mer", "Boum!" and "Y'a d'la joie". Trenet helped define the sound of French chanson, influencing generations of artists.
