Burning from the sun
Why do this to us Lord?
My lips taste only dust
Have mercy on us Lord
The wind it howled and roared
Why do this to us Lord?
It smashed our broken hopes
Have mercy on us Lord
La vie est courte, la vie est cruelle
C'est l'enfer, pas le ciel
On a resté six ans sur mer
Sans pouvoir border la terre
Au bout de la septième année
On a manqué de provisions
On a mangé souris et rats
Jusque la tourbe du navire
On a tiré la courte paille
Pour voir lequel qui serait mangé
O voilà a petit Jean qu'il tombe au sort
Ça serait petit Jean qui serait mangé
O petit Jean ça lui fait du mal
Il crie "Courage me camarades"
"Je vois la terre sur toutes cotés Trois pigéons blancs qui sont a voltiger.
Je vois aussi trois filles du prince
Qui se promenaient au long du rivage.
O si jamais je mets les pieds sur terre,
La plus jolie je l'epouserai."
