Kirikou
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Dans le village l'eau et les hommes avaient disparus
Les femmes pleuraient et tremblaient devant la sorcière
Kirikou savait où trouver notre grand-père
Kirikou mon ami nous a redonné la vie
Kirikou n'est pas grand mais il est vaillant
Kirikou est petit mais c'est mon ami
Kirikou n'est pas grand mais il est vaillant
Kirikou est petit mais c'est mon ami
Sur la route des flamboyants
Du haut de la case de karaba
Les fétiches veillent le village
Kirikou demande pourquoi karaba est si méchante
Kirikou mon ami nous a redonné la vie
Kirikou n'est pas grand mais il est vaillant
Kirikou est petit mais c'est mon ami
Kirikou n'est pas grand mais il est vaillant
Kirikou est petit mais c'est mon ami
