Le général a dit: "Fermier
Toi qui n'as pas de quoi manger
Prends ta machette, viens, suis moi"
Et je le suis depuis des mois
Chante l'ami plus fort que moi
Sois plus ivre si tu peux
Danse l'ami, ne pense pas
Cette nuit on est heureux
Viens me parler de ton pays
De ta femme et de ton champ
Chante l'ami, car tout s'oublie
En chantant
Le général a dit qu'il faut
Prendre la ville de Tampico
Quand viendra l'aube elle brûlera
Et j'ai mon père qui vit là-bas
Chante l'ami plus fort que moi
Sois plus ivre si tu peux
Danse l'ami, ne pense pas
Cette nuit on est heureux
Viens me parler de ton pays
De ta femme et de ton champ
Chante l'ami, car tout s'oublie
En chantant
Vous, mes parents, vous m'attendez
Dans la maison oû je suis né
Mais je n'ai plus de ville natale
C'est ce que dit le général
Chante l'ami plus fort que moi
Sois plus ivre si tu peux
Danse l'ami, ne pense pas
Cette nuit on est heureux
Viens me parler de ton pays
De ta femme et de ton champ
Chante l'ami, car tout s'oublie
En chantant
Si j'ai tué, si j'ai volé
J'en ai encore le coeur serré
Dieu me pardonnera le mal
C'est ce que dit le général
Chante l'ami plus fort que moi
Sois plus ivre si tu peux
Danse l'ami, ne pense pas
Cette nuit on est heureux
Viens me parler de ton pays
De ta femme et de ton champ
Chante l'ami, car tout s'oublie
En chantant
Le général nous a promis
De l'argent et du pain blanc
Et les troupeaux et l'eau des pluies
Et la terre aux paysans
Et dans les rues de Mexico
On nous fera un carnaval
Chante l'ami, danse l'ami
Et longue vie au général
The lyrics LE GÉNÉRAL A DIT of JOE DASSIN is also present in the album Elle etait oh!... (1971)
Joe Dassin (Joseph Ira Dassin, 1938-1980) è stato un cantante e compositore statunitense naturalizzato francese. Considerato uno dei più grandi artisti della musica francese degli anni '60 e '70, Dassin ha conquistato il pubblico con la sua voce calda e le sue canzoni romantiche e orecchiabili. Super poliglotta, era in grado di esprimersi e cantare in inglese, francese, tedesco, spagnolo, italiano e greco. Nato a New York da genitori francesi, si trasferì in Francia all'età di 18 anni per dedicarsi alla musica. Il suo successo arrivò con il brano "Les Champs-Élysées" (1970), che divenne un inno nazionale francese. Tra le sue canzoni più famose ricordiamo anche "Salut les copains", "Et si tu n'existais pas", e "Laissez-moi danser". Dassin ha collaborato con numerosi artisti francesi, tra cui Claude François e Gilbert Bécaud. La sua musica è ancora oggi molto apprezzata in Francia e nel mondo.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
