La légende de Thomas [English translation]

He ran from flower to flower

He lived like a madman

Far from people, far from everything

He looked at the butterflies

Occasionally gathered holly

For the party at our house

One day, three soldiers appeared at his house

To search, to turn over everything even up to his bed

"Tell us, Thomas, show us where the bird is hiding

Who pecks, who devours all our apricot fields

Oh! Oh! Oh!"

And Thomas had to run there through the paths of earth

To cross the ferns

He was scared of these people

The children, the grandmothers

Who threw stones at him

"Stop! Stop! I have torn pockets

I only have my life, so you have to give it

Take everything, leave me, I don't know the bird

Who pecks, who devours all our apricot fields

Oh! Oh! Oh!"

The good God saw all that

Through the crack of the sky

We lead the poor Thomas

To the dungeon of the citadel

Tonight, he sleeps

But the sounds and the cries

Invade his bed

Now, he was scared

His fear made him scared

And gnawed on his mind

When suddenly, the birds

The big birds of the night

Will attack the castle

And surprise the guards

Save him and cry

Crossing the villages in the hamlets1

Pillaging all the apricot fields2

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Thomas was in paradise

In the middle of the birds

God had brought it back to him

To gather there his apricots

He ran from flower to flower

He lived like a madman

Far from people, far from everything

He looked at the butterflies

Occasionally gathered holly

For the party at our house

1. a small human settlement2. I have condensed these three lines into two in order to have a clearer meaning. Literally, it is:

The villages in hamlet

Crossing, pillaging

all the apricot fields
