Lyrics in French

La Ballade des gens heureux

Notre vieille Terre est une étoile,

Où toi aussi et tu brilles un peu.

Je viens te chanter la ballade,

La ballade des gens heureux.

Je viens te chanter la ballade,

La ballade des gens heureux.




Tu n'as pas de titre ni de grade

Mais tu dis tu quand tu parles à Dieu.

Je viens te chanter la ballade,

La ballade des gens heureux.

Je viens te chanter la ballade,

La ballade des gens heureux.




Journaliste, pour ta première page,

Tu peux écrire tout ce que tu veux.

On t'offre un titre formidable,

La ballade des gens heureux.

On t'offre un titre formidable,

La ballade des gens heureux.




Toi qui a planté un arbre

Dans ton petit jardin de banlieue

Je viens te chanter la ballade

La ballade des gens heureux

Je viens te chanter la ballade

La ballade des gens heureux




Il s'endort et tu le regardes,

C'est ton enfant il te ressemble un peu.

On vient lui chanter la ballade,

La ballade des gens heureux.

On vient lui chanter la ballade,

La ballade des gens heureux.




Toi la star du haut de ta vague,

Descends vers nous, tu nous verras mieux.

On vient te chanter la ballade,

La ballade des gens heureux.

On vient te chanter la ballade,

La ballade des gens heureux.




Roi de la drague et de la rigolade,

Rouleur flambeur ou gentil petit vieux.

On vient te chanter la ballade,

La ballade des gens heureux.

On vient te chanter la ballade,

La ballade des gens heureux.




Comme un chœur dans une cathédrale,

Comme un oiseau qui fait ce qu'il peut.

Tu viens de chanter la ballade,

La ballade des gens heureux.

Tu viens de chanter la ballade,

La ballade des gens heureux.
