Il s'en allait courant
Il s'en allait criant
Il s'en allait hurlant
Les mains sur les oreilles
On voyait qu'il fuyait
On voyait qu'il pleurait
On voyait qu'il tremblait
On disait qu'est-ce que c'est
Un enfant quitte Paris
Il s'en va vers des merveilles
Les merveilles de ces pays
Où l'oiseau fait encore son nid
Il a dit ça fait mal
C'est dur c'est trop brutal
Ce vacarme infernal
Ça casse les oreilles
Il a dit les autos
Les camions le métro
Les usines les radios
Les bennes les marteaux
Un enfant quitte Paris
Il s'en va vers des merveilles
Les merveilles de ces pays
Où l'oiseau fait encore son nid
Qu'est-ce que nous deviendrons
Si les enfants s'en vont
Si le soir nous n'avons
Plus jamais leur sourire
Et j'ai voulu crier
J'ai voulu appeler
J'ai voulu alerter
Toute la société
Mais y avait les autos
Les camions le métro
Les usines les radios
Les marteaux et les bennes
Il y avait tout Paris
Qui faisait trop de bruit
Et nul ne m'entendit
Il y a trop de bruit
Il y a trop de bruit
Il y a trop de bruit...
