Nain D'jardin
Les Betteraves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Le FLNJ avait tort
Les libérés sont tous morts
Abandonnés dans les bois
Les nains d'jardins sont morts de froid
Ils ont besoin
Qu'on s'occupe d'eux tous les matins !
Ils ont le droit
D'être nourri, logés comme des rois
Oh ohoh le FLNJ avait tort
Oh ohoh le FLNJ avait tort

Les nains d'jardins sont des gamins
Faut les nourrir tous les matins
Laver leur barbe et leur bonnet
Mais personne ne le fait jamais
Il faut leur faire écouter
Du ska du punk et du hardcore
Car sous leurs bonnets
Ils ont des crêtes, des têtes de mort





Ohoh les nains d'jardins sont des keupons (x4)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song Nain D'jardin by Les Betteraves paint a picture of abandoned garden gnomes who have been left to fend for themselves in the woods. The FLNJ, presumably a militant group, is blamed for the deaths of the group of liberators who were supposed to be protecting the gnomes. The gnomes are now left to die of cold and hunger unless someone takes care of them. The chorus of the song emphasizes the need for the gnomes to be cared for properly, with food and shelter fit for royalty.


The second verse of the song picks up the theme of neglect and abandonment of the garden gnomes. The gnomes are likened to children in need of care, with their beards and hats providing a humorous image. The mention of punk and hardcore music is a nod to the rebellious nature of the gnomes, who apparently have punk-style haircuts under their hats. The last line of the song, "Les nains d'jardins sont des keupons", is a French term for punk or punk rockers, and implies that the gnomes are a symbol of rebellion and counterculture.


Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the mistreatment of those who are vulnerable and dependent, whether they are human or inanimate objects. The gnomes represent a collective group that needs to be taken care of and nurtured, and the failure to do so has led to their demise. The mention of punk music and rebelliousness also suggests that the song is a call to action, urging the listener to take a stand against neglect and indifference.
