Chandernagor

She got, she got
A smart Chandernagor
She got, she got
A chunky Chandernagor
I was the only one, the only one
For whom she unveiled her cashmeres
Her gardens, her posh districts
In a word, her Chandernagor
No question
Under those circumstances
That we leave our Establishments in India
 
She got, she got
Two splendid Yanaon
She got, she got
Two fesh and round Yanaon
And I was the only one, the only one
To venture into her jungle
Her valleys, her glens
Her hills of Yanaon
No question
Under those circumstances
That we leave our Establishments in India
 
She got, she got
A difficult Karikal
She got, she got
A grumpy Karikal
But at night I reached
Her nirvana at fixed times
And this in spite
Of her bad Karikal
No question
Under those circumstances
That we leave our Establishments in India
 
She got, she got
A small twiggy Mahé
She got, she got
A small secret Mahé
But when the monsoon came I had to
Put out my Bengal lights
And tear myself away: tear myself away
From the delights of Mahé
No question
Under those circumstances
We remain in our Establishments in India
 
She got, she got
A tolerant Pondichéry
She got, she got
A friendly Pondichéry
Right away, right away
Its to another tourist
She showed her establishment
Its flora, its geography
No question
Under those circumstances
We ever see again our Establishments in India
 

The truth

The first to speak always becomes a scapegoat
To start with, you kill him
Then you get used to it
You cut his tongue, you say he is raving mad
Then the second one
May speak without trouble
The first one to tell the truth
He will be executed
 
I claim they offered me a lot of money
To sell my chances
In the Tour de France
The Tour is a show that many people love
And in a show
There's no miracle
The racer has told the truth
He will be executed
 
In Chicago a newsman died in the street
He won't talk anymore
About everything he knew
Poor President, all your witnesses have disappeared
They keep silent in unisson
The thirteen died
The witness has told the truth
He will be executed
 
The world should get drunk with speeches, not wine
Remain in the line
Follow the rules
In Moscow a poet at the writers' Association
Blows in the soup
The group is enjoying
The poet has told the truth
He will be executed
 
How many men who disappeared one day said No
In a convenient death
Their bodies pass out
Nobody remembers their eyes or their name
Their undying words
Still ring true
The unknown has told the truth
He will be executed
 
A young man with long hair was climbing the Golgotha
The mindless crowd
Was rejoycing
Pilate was right not to shoot at random
In a way it was wiser
To kill a single man
That young man has told the truth
He will be executed
 
Tonight with you I broke the rule of the game
I broke the rule
Of sparrows and eagles
You are scared for me as you know I
Risk your disapproval
Your ripe tomatoes
My song has told the truth
You are going to execute me
My song has told the truth
You are going to execute me
 

I would like to change the colors of time

The sea is in blue between two brown rocks
I would prefer it in orange
Or even as rainbow just like sea spray
That's strange
 
I would like to change the colors of time
Change world colors
The rising sun, the compass rose
The way my round dance will go
Water from a tear and the whole ocean
That rumbles
 
I have cleaned streets and benches
Adorned towns with ribbons
Painted the Eiffel tower in pink
Blended the subway with the sea
The sky between two chimneys is iron
I would prefer it deep purple
Or even as rainbow just like the smokes
In China
 
I would like to change the colors of time
Change world colors
The rising sun, the compass rose
The way my round dance will go
Water from a tear and the whole ocean
That rumbles
 
I have all the colors of the rainbow
And above all the weeping ones
The color I wear mainly is
The one to be wiped out
And your black hair hidden in the night
I would prefer it multicolored
Just like the rainbow sets fire to the rain
At dawn
 
I would like to change the colors of time
Change world colors
The words I hear will be radiant
And we shall play a round dance
A round dance in brown, red and saffron
And blond
