Original Title: "Restera-t-il un chant d'oiseau"
Text: Claude Delécluse
Year: 1962
What will remain on earth fifty years from now?
We are poisoning the rivers, the oceans
We are eating hydrocarbons, and what else?
The Rhône carries along mercury, dead fishes.
For the children of the new times
Will a bird song remain?
The world lost its compass. What did it win?
Beaches blackened by oil to go swimming
The atom will rule over earth, like a lord
What will we do with it, it's a matter that scares me.
For the children of the new times
Will a bird song remain?
As soon as the misfortune of men is less big
Already the apples are rotting of the new times
Children, children, the earth is round, shout louder
So that the world wakes up, if it's not dead
For the children of the new times
Will a bird song remain?
