L'âne Trotro
ZUT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trop, trop rigolo
L'âne Trotro, l'âne Trotro
Trop, trop rigolo
Le copain des petits, le petit âne gris
Qui fait de chaque jour une aventure
Il rejoint ses amis, Nana, Boubou, Lili
L'âne Trotro, l'âne Trotro
Trop, trop rigolo
L'âne Trotro, l'âne Trotro
Trop, trop rigolo
S'il fait de la peinture, qu'il tache un peu les murs
Il en fait un tableau tout aussitôt
S'il casse son vélo, il le prend sur son dos
Et c'est le vélo qui fait du Trotro
L'âne Trotro, l'âne Trotro
Trop, trop rigolo
L'âne Trotro, l'âne Trotro
Trop, trop rigolo
Nana, Lili, Boubou, où êtes-vous
Ha ha, je vous vois
Eh, attendez-moi
L'âne Trotro, l'âne Trotro
Trop, trop rigolo
L'âne Trotro, l'âne Trotro
Trop, trop rigolo
L'âne Trotro, l'âne Trotro
Trop, trop rigolo
L'âne Trotro, l'âne Trotro
Trop, trop rigolo
L'âne Trotro c'est l'ami qu'il nous faut
Trop, trop rigolo
The song "L'âne Trotro" by Zut is a playful and upbeat tune about a little grey donkey named Trotro who serves as a beloved companion to young children. The lyrics introduce us to Trotro's playful and adventurous nature as he engages with his small circle of friends, Nana, Boubou, and Lili. They go about their days with zeal, making each day a new adventure.
The chorus of the song, "L'âne Trotro, l'âne Trotro, trop, trop rigolo" (Trotro the donkey, Trotro the donkey, too, too funny) captures the lighthearted tone of the song. The following verse describes how Trotro approaches challenges with creativity and resourcefulness. When he accidentally spills paint on the wall whilst painting, he quickly turns the mistake into a work of art. Similarly, when his bike breaks down, he carries it on his back and still manages to have fun.
At its core, "L'âne Trotro" is a celebration of childhood along with its innocent spirit, limitless imagination and carefreeness. It showcases how children can derive joy even from the most mundane things and find joy in simple moments of togetherness. The song also aims to showcase how a young animal like Trotro, through its love and companionship, makes an excellent friend that children can relate to and depend on.
