Je pense que j'ai mon mot � dire
Qui � v�cu pire enfance que ceux
Qui n'ont pas eu la chance de pouvoir grandir
Un gros porc baisse son froc
Dans un tripot de Bangkok
Et c'est un enfant de cinq ans
Qui lui prend son argent
Qu'il supporte ce troc
C'est � grosse dose de coke
Qu'il supporte ce troc
Et moi, je pense � tous les autres qui tapinent au m�me moment
Le monde est avari�
Je suis une petite Indie
Un genre de Phoolan Devi
Qui n'a pas de fusil... de fusil
Mari�e � douze ans � un pauvre paysan
Je bosse dans les champs... harassant
Ils ont dit " tu n'es plus une enfant,
tu es une femme � pr�sent "
Le monde est avari�
Condamn� par la naissance des bas quartiers
Je pense que j'ai mon mot � dire
Qui � v�cu pire enfance que ceux
Qui n'ont pas eu la chance de pouvoir grandir
Des milliers d'enfants au Pakistan
Dans des fabriques de ciment
Des petites filles voil�es de la t�te aux pieds en Afghanistan
Et les enfants de Bogota � qui on arrache les corn�es
Le monde est avari�
Condamn� par la naissance d'un h�pital de France
J'ai jamais rien � dire
Je n'ai pas conscience de la chance
Que j'ai de savoir lire et �crire
J'applaudis les lois contre l'immigration
Je vote pour les rois qui prot�gent mon pognon
Mes enfants h�riteront de ma connerie et la transmettront
A leurs rejetons
Et le monde reste... et le monde reste avari�
Moi je danse sur le monde...
The song "Le monde est avare" by French band Tryo talks about the harsh reality of the world we live in, where children suffer, are abused, and neglected. The song starts by condemning the birth in lowly neighborhoods and expressing the desire to be heard. The first verse talks about a fat, lecherous man who goes to Bangkok and engages in prostitution, where a five-year-old child takes his money. The man is high on cocaine and supporting the trade which is the trope for the dark world we live in. The singer empathizes with all the people who are forced to sell themselves and work in the same profession.
The second verse talks about a girl from India who was married at the tender age of twelve to a poor farmer and is now employed in agriculture. Her childhood has been taken away, and she is asked to behave like a woman when she is barely past her childhood. The singer expresses empathy and camaraderie with people who have lived through worse conditions than him and does not take his life for granted.
The chorus of "Le monde est avare" highlights the existent issues present in the world we live in. There are thousands of children in Pakistan working in cement factories, young girls who get veiled from head to toe in Afghanistan, and children getting their eyeballs taken in Bogota. The song talks about how the world is stingy, and people are indifferent.
The last verse of the song turns accusatory, where the singer points out the irony in the fact that he is not qualified to speak about things he has not encountered firsthand. The stanza has a self-reflective tone to it as he mentions that he does not appreciate the rights that he has had all his life, such as the ability to read and write. The singer talks about his hypocrisy in applauding strict immigration laws that are in place along with the notion that the rich must protect their property, instead of helping those who are less fortunate.
