Morts les enfants
Renaud Lyrics
Chiffon imbibé d´essence,
Un enfant meurt en silence
Sur le trottoir de Bogotá
On ne s´arrête pas
Déchiquetés aux champs de mines,
Décimés aux premières lignes
Morts les enfants de la guerre
Pour les idées de leur père
Bal à l´ambassade,
Imbéciles et grabataires
Se partagent l´univers
Morts les enfants de Bopale,
Industrie occidentale
Parti dans les eaux du Gange,
Des avocats s´arrangent
Morts les enfants de la haine
Près de nous où plus lointaine
Morts les enfants de la peur
Chevrotine dans le cœur
Bal à l´ambassade,
Quelques vieux malades
Imbéciles et militaires
Se partagent l´univers
Morts les enfants du Sahel,
On accuse le soleil
Morts les enfants de Seveso,
Morts les arbres, les oiseaux
Morts les enfants de la route,
Dernier week-end du mois d´août
Papa picolait sans doute
Deux ou trois verres, quelques gouttes
Bal à l´ambassade,
Quelques vieux malades
Imbéciles les tortionnaires
Se partagent l´univers
Mort l´enfant qui vivait en moi,
Qui voyait en ce monde-là
Un jardin, une rivière
Et des hommes plutôt frères
Le jardin est une jungle,
Les hommes sont devenus dingues
La rivière charrie les larmes,
Un jour l´enfant prend une arme
Bal sur l´ambassade,
Attentat grenade
Hécatombe au ministère
Sur les gravats, les grabataires

Extremely versatile and respected French singer-songwriter. His music is a crossover of folk, rock, blues and punk. Active since the 70s, Renaud has written some very controversial songs during his musical career, the most famous one (to British readers at least) praising all women as being better than men except Margaret Thatcher, saying that if he comes back as a dog in his next life, he will use her as a lampost...

Active since the 70s, Renaud has written some very controversial songs during his musical career, the most famous one (to British readers at least) praising all women as being better than men except Margaret Thatcher, saying that if he comes back as a dog in his next life, he will use her as a lampost... He is famously recovering from alcoholism with some degree of success.
The most iconic song to many French people, and possibly the song that put him on the map, was the huge 70's French hit "Laisse Béton" (the story - told with a great deal of humour - of someone who enters a bar and gets mugged for everything he owns, from his leather jacket, to his jeans, his boots, and ends up in an alley without any clothes on).
Renaud 'came back' in 2002 with a huge hit 'Manhattan-Kaboul' (featuring Belgian singer Axelle Red), comparing the lives of a Puerto Rican in NYC to an Afghan girl in Kabul in 2001. This song catapulted his latest album to the top of the charts and earned him various awards in France. His latest album was published in october 2006 and was called "Rouge sang".

Cette chanson est triste mais quand on voit la misère des enfants dans le monde il était obligé de la chanter. Une de ses plus engagées. Respect Renaud
