You are and we are
Similar men
More or less naked under the sun
Same heart between the same shoulders
What are they teaching you at school?

If they forget the essential
We share the same kingdom
Where you are and we are

I have islands, I have lakes
I have three fish in a bag
I wear a crucifix
I pray on a mat
I rule and I decide
I have four cents of liquid
I sleep on bamboos
I am a witch doctor

And we are similar men
More or less far from the sun
White, black, red, yellow, Creole
What are they teaching you at school?
If the essential is missing
Similar down to the smallest atom
You are and we are

I dye and I make up
My dogs stand guard
I have trapped my house
I live under cardboard
I will be a hundred in two days
I have never made love
We children, nephews and nieces
We all sleep in the same room

Whatever cry we give ourselves
We swim in the same aquarium
We share the same kingdom
Where you are and we are

Where we are similar men
More or less naked under the sun
All stretched towards the hope of living
What are they teaching you in books?
If the essential is missing
If the essential is missing
I prefer this polychrome world
Where you are and we are
