Les chercheurs d'or


La longue horde de charriots

Trace des sillons dans la terre

Et le galop de ces cheveaux

Dans un grand bruit de sabots

Fait tourbillonner la poussière

Ya Ya Hue



Les hommes de tous les pays

Qui conduisent ces attelages

Ont quitté familles et amis

Et d'un élan sont partis

Courant au devant d'un mirage

Hi Han Hue



Claque ton fouet frappe ta bête

Marche ou crève mais non de non

Arrange-toi pour être en tête

Et tomber sur le bon filon



On a trouvé de l'or disait les journaux

En première page et le cri se répercutait

Ricochait et s'élançait de ville en ville et en villages

Hue Hue donc



Hommes simples ou aventuriers

Le coeur débordant d'espérence

Partirent en tête pour toucher, pour voir et pour posséder

Ce qu'ils croyaient être leur chance

Ya Ya Hue



Claque ton fouet frappe ta bête

Marche ou crève mais non de non

Arrange-toi pour être en tête

Et tomber sur le bon filon



Marche forcée, course éperdue

Faut avancer coûte que coûte

Très peu arriverons au but

Affaiblis, déçus et rompus

Beaucoup tomberont sur les routes

Ya Ya Hue



Tous les traîneurs qui crèveront

Iront à la fosse commune

Et très peu s'en retourneront

Riche et remplis d'illusions

Après avoir trouvé fortune

Ya Hue Ya



Claque ton fouet frappe ta bête

Marche ou crève mais non de non

Arrange-toi pour être en tête

Et tomber sur le bon filon.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
