Le monde entier est un cactus
The whole world is a cactus
Il est impossible de s'asseoir
It's impossible to sit down
Dans la vie, Il n'y a qu'des cactus
In life, there are only cacti
Moi j'm'pique de le savoir
I get pricked just knowing this
Aïe! Aïe! Aïe! Ouille! Aïe! Aïe! Aïe!
Aïe! Aïe! Aïe! Ouille! Aïe! Aïe! Aïe!
Dans leur cœur il y a des cactus
In their hearts, there are cacti
Dans leur portefeuille y a des cactus
In their wallets, there are cacti
Sous leur pieds, Il y a des cactus
Beneath their feet, there are cacti
Dans l'heure qu'il est y a des cactus
In this very hour, there are cacti
Aïe! Aïe! Aïe! Ouille! Ouille! Ouille! Aïe!
Aïe! Aïe! Aïe! Ouille! Ouille! Ouille! Aïe!
Pour me défendre de leur cactus
To defend myself from their cactus
A mon tour j'ai pris des cactus
Now it's my turn, I took some cactus
Dans mon lit, J'ai mis des cactus
In my bed, I put some cactus
Dans mon slip j'ai mis des cactus
In my shorts, I put some cactus
Aïe! Aïe! Aïe! Ouille! Aïe! Aïe! Aïe!
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
Dans leur sourir' il y a des cactus
In their smile, there are some cactus
Dans leur ventr' il y a des cactus
In their belly, there are some cactus
Dans leur bonjour, Il y a des cactus
In their hello, there are some cactus
Dans leur cactus il y a des cactus
In their cactus, there are some cactus
Aïe! Aïe! Aïe! Ouille! Aïe!
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
Le monde entier est un cactus
The whole world is a cactus
Il est impossible de s'asseoir
It's impossible to sit down
Dans la vie, Y a des cactus
In life, there are cacti
Moi j'm'pique de le savoir
I take pride in knowing that
Aïe! Aïe! Aïe! Ouille! Aïe! Aïe! Aïe!
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Yikes! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
Aïe! Aïe! Ouille!
Ouch! Ouch! Yikes!
