I'm gone, I were all youth
Make a living and learn a job
To my parents, I've made the promise
to come back as soon as rich
I saw from afar my village fading
Noon sounding, I didn't hear it
Cause I're walking towards mirages
which were grewing to each of my steps
Cause I're walking towards mirages
which were grewing to each of my steps
Found myself walking from town to town
Very few friends, lots of companions
Friendship is easy when the glass is full
You're alone when you see the bottom
Do ya come from ? How is it that ya're called ?
Norbert ! One beer, Armand, strong alcohol for me
Me i'm washing windows, me the dishes
My companions call me "Littl' Nor"
Me i'm washing windows, me the dishes
My companions call me "Littl' Nor"
All this jobs which are sons of misery
I made it and I left it
You're unemployed when you refuse to do them
When you lose him, you are... as you are.
It's not at the end of brooms ans shovels
that the wealthy come most of the time
The bigs which have it sleep not far of it
Other are just autumn leaves in the wind
The bigs which have it sleep not far of it
Other are just autumn leaves in the wind
Oh if I were a naive lover
I'd took a wife and I'd have children,
a house, a car, as those which are coming
I'll be alone but alone less... lonely
But too much money make the love doubtfully
and not enough away it forever
I spent my existance
Before to win the heart of my beloved
I spent my existance
Before to win the heart of my beloved
I spent three days on a trip
To find back parents and friends
For my parents it's at the end of the village
In the graveyard where death put them
But my ear and my sight are surprised
We see nobody and all seem souless
A lost dog goes out of the church
And I understood : my village became a ghost town
A lost dog goes out of the church
And I understood : my village became a ghost town
I went up to inform myself at Narcisse
Who has refused to move from the 5th block
Should closing, in the name of the law
Of the law and of the gouvernements
Did we have to work on our land
Remove the strains and pounding gravels
To discovering at the notary
That at the end of our lives we aren't even at home
To discovering at the notary
That at the end of our lives we aren't even at home
I've thought about stay here
Spend the night sleeping on the stairs
Save the church before it collapses
And repair the best of the houses
I'll became my own tenant
I'll beacome my own doctor
Verger, priest, shopkeeper and mayor
My own friend and my own neighbour
Verger, priest, shopkeeper and mayor
My own friend and my own neighbour
As in jail around the world
I'll leave as I'd came
I don't wait that someone answers me
despair is never welcome
For my kinds tormanted by journeys
My sad fate serve them as a lesson
Don't leave your village
If you aren't well educated
Don't leave your village
If you aren't well educated
Should have to go, but all youth anymore
Make a living, any job
Me we who had made in time promises
Of great come-back as soon as rich
I see often appear a village
I hear noon even when it don't sound
walking always towards mirages
which were evaporating to each of my steps
walking always towards mirages
which were evaporating to each of my steps
