Oiseau malin [English translation]

Oh! Keep a watchful eye on the Poor

Sings a wise little bird

Flying to the skies, soaring and diving

High above Kingdoms and Republics

The wise bird observes and sees

The monarchs and their secrets

Proclaiming laws the decrees

in their State palaces

Masters and servants

Insulated from the world in their chambers

They do not hear the bird that sings

They do not hear the bird singing

Sensing what could be danger

Oh! Keep a watchful eye on the Poor

Those who have been left out

Dreamers dreaming of a better world

How can they hold back the anger welling up in their hearts?

Oh! Keep a watchful eye on the Poor

Sings a wise little bird

flying to the skies, soaring and diving

high above Kingdoms and Republics

The wise bird observes and sees

Financiers and their mysterious ways

Staring at plasma screens, la la la!

and playing games with the money so many people long for

Masters and servants

Protected from the world in their offices

They do not hear the bird that sings

They do not hear the bird singing

Sensing what might be danger

Oh! Keep a watchful eye on the Poor

Those who have been allowed to fall by the wayside

Dreamers dreaming of a better world

They cannot stop the anger welling up in their hearts

Oh! Keep a watchful eye on the Poor

Sings a wise little bird

flying high into the skies, soaring and diving,

high above Kingdoms and Republics

For they hold tomorrow's world

in their hands

The hands of the Poor

In their hands

Oh! Keep a watchful eye on the Poor

Those who have been left out

Dreamers dreaming of a better world

They cannot stop the anger welling up in their hearts

Oh! Keep a watchful eye on the Poor

Sings a wise little bird

who flies high up to the skies, soaring and diving,

high above Kingdoms and Republics

Be on your guard

Be on your guard

Be on your guard
