Already, I didn't have much
In my little life that's not always rosy
In my little suburban house
Forgotten by men and by God
Between my little wife and my dog
I only had the TV and then nothing
Barely a small patch of lawn
One meter twenty-three by one meter twelve
Where he reigned like a pasha
My little Simplet who is no longer there

If I caught the little rascal
Who stole my garden gnome
I'd make him lose his taste for bread
I'd make him lose his taste for bread

He was a real little Snow White dwarf
Red pants and beige polo
Not a plastic piece of junk
The prettiest of ceramics
Brought sunshine to my lawn
All the flowers were jealous
He kept the birds company
Damn it, he was beautiful
With his little pointed hat
He was the prettiest on the street

If I caught the little rascal
Who stole my garden gnome
I'd make him lose his taste for bread
I'd make him lose his taste for bread

If they ask for a ransom for him
I'd give two months of my welfare
I don't want to see my garden all bare
I want to see the innocent smile again
Of my little gnome who, without a doubt
Finds himself an orphan today

They took my only wealth
And I realize with sadness
That thieves, unfortunately
Always steal from those poorer than themselves

If I caught the little rascal
Who stole my garden gnome
I'd make him lose his taste for bread
I'd make him lose his taste for bread

If I caught the little rascal
Who stole my garden gnome
I'd make him lose his taste for bread
I'd make him lose his taste for bread

If I caught the little rascal
Who stole my garden gnome
I'd make him lose his taste for bread
I'd make him lose his taste for bread
