Three children in the middle of the zoo
Three children turned their backs on us
Three children lying on the ground
Lying on their mother, lying on their father
And the little Sophie, at the bottom of the carousel
And the little Sophie lies down under the snow
I blew the ashes over the graveyard
At the bottom of the carousel, next to the little Sophie
And the elephants are falling
All around just like bombs
And I remain sitted on the ground
In the middle of the zoo
Three children turned their backs on us
Three children standing on a boat
Will sail away in the sun, will sail away on the sea
With the father and the mother, to run away from the animals
Don't leave me alone in the middle of the zoo
Strolling on the ground amongst the animals
I want to leave with you on that boat
To find my mother again and run away from the animals
And the elephants are falling
All around just like bombs
And I remain sitted on the ground
In the middle of the zoo, in the middle of the zoo, in the middle of the zoo
