Ralph McTell — Tous les animaux sont tristes

Tous les animaux sont tristes Après avoir faire 1'amour Wondering if there was more than this Wishing there there could be more, just a little more Harry bought a little boat And with his boat he made some money His wife bore him a daughter and two sons The sun shone and they were never hungry He bought more boats, a bigger house And more ships were his goal But even after making love There was a darkness in his soul Tous les animaux sont tristes Après avoir faire 1'amour Wondering if there was more than this Wishing that there could be more, just a little more His fortune and his children grew strong His wife slept sweet contented He paced the floor till dawn sometimes Or until the night relented One morning he heard a song bird sing A song to take his darkness away And he put a roof over his garden So that forever it would stay Tous les animaux sont tristes Après avoir faire 1'amour Wondering if there was more than this And wishing that there could be more, just a little more But the songbird was small and plain With its heartache healing song And he tired of the repetition And he wished that it was gone So he tore the roof from off his garden But he1d fed the bird and it remained Till he shot a silver arrow through her heart And his darkness came again Tous les animaux sont tristes Après avoir faire 1'amour Wondering if there was more than this And wishing that there could be more, just a little more In time the children forgot The loss of their singing bird And the light came back to their garden As his emptiness returned So he sailed away in one of his ships Married a rich widow in America In photographs they were always smiling He needed her but did he, did he really love her? Tous les animaux sont tristes Après avoir faire 1'amour Wondering if there was more than this Or wishing that there could be more, just a little more Just a little more Tous les animaux sont tristes Après avoir faire 1'amour Wondering if there was more than this Or wishing that there could be more, just a little more Tous les animaux sont tristes Après avoir faire 1'amour Wondering if there was more than this Or wishing that there could be more, just a little more ...
