Debout les gars
Aufray Hugues Lyrics

The song "Debout les gars" by Aufray Hugues is a call to action for a group of men who are determined to conquer a large mountain by building a road over it. The first stanza sets the scene by describing the mountain that they intend to conquer with a bulldozer and the combined effort of two hundred men. The second stanza is a call to action to the group to wake up and get going, as they are set to go to the end of the world.

The third stanza acknowledges the challenges they face on this journey, as occasionally they may be bogged down by a little sense of sadness, but the group encourages themselves, reminding them that it is only temporary and that the sun will soon burn it away. The fourth stanza talks about the fear and intimidation that they may face as they face tonnes of rock on their journey, but this is not enough to deter them, and they will utilize dynamite to conquer this obstacle.

The fifth stanza acknowledges the skeptics and doubters who consider them foolish for trying to build a road over a mountain, but the group is confident in their abilities and believes that they will surpass all challenges. The sixth and seventh stanzas talk about the future and the pride that their children will feel once the road is built. The final stanza acknowledges how the journey may end, but the group will never forget the journey that they took together.

Overall, the song is about perseverance and the belief in oneself to accomplish great things. It is a tribute to teamwork and collaboration in dealing with daunting obstacles, and ultimately the pride that comes when one sees a longtime dream come true.
