Comédie tragédie [English translation]

Little coward

Wants to become great

But he remains seated.

Little clown

Insults the sultan

But he is punished.

Life is unfair but it depends for whom

Life is unfair above all for the small

Life is unfair and that’s why one laughs

At the great, the powerful,

The rotten laugh Ha ha ha…

Let us love one another

Comedy tragedy

All children are ours

Comedy tragedy

The blows hardly matter,

You will turn the other cheek

Comedy tragedy

The destitute are happy

Elected to the kingdom of the heavens.

Enough!
