"Un crocodile, s'en allant à la guerre"
A crocodile, heading off to war
Disait au revoir à ses petits-enfants
Said goodbye to his grandchildren
Trainant ses pieds, ses pieds dans la poussière
Dragging his feet, his feet in the dust
Il s'en allait combattre les éléphants
He was off to fight the elephants
Danse
Dance
Ah, les cro, cro, cro, les cro, cro, cro
Oh, the cro, cro, cro, the cro, cro, cro
Les crocodiles
The crocodiles
Sur les bords du Nil, ils sont partis
By the banks of the Nile, they have departed
N'en parlons plus
Let's not talk about it anymore
Ah, les cro, cro, cro, les cro, cro, cro
Oh, the cro, cro, cro, the cro, cro, cro
Les crocodiles
The crocodiles
Sur le bord du Nil, ils sont partis
On the banks of the Nile, they have left
N'en parlons plus
Let's not speak of it anymore
Il fredonnait une marche militaire
He hummed a military march
Dont il mâchait les mots à grosses dents
Whose words he chewed with big teeth
Quand il ouvrait sa gueule tout entière
When he opened his mouth wide
On croyait voir ses ennemis dedans
We thought we could see his enemies inside
Ah, les cro, cro, cro, les cro, cro, cro
Ah, the cro, cro, cro, the cro, cro, cro
Les crocodiles
The crocodiles
Sur le bord du Nil, ils sont partis
On the banks of the Nile, they have left
N'en parlons plus
Let's not speak of it anymore
Ah, les cro, cro, cro, les cro, cro, cro
Ah, the cro, cro, cro, the cro, cro, cro
Les crocodiles
The crocodiles
Sur le bord du Nil, ils sont partis
By the banks of the Nile, they set off
N'en parlons plus
Let's not speak of it anymore
Un éléphant parut et sur la terre
An elephant appeared, and on the ground
Se prépara ce combat de géants
This battle of giants was prepared
Mais près de là, courait une rivière
But nearby, a river was running
Le crocodile s'y jeta subitement
The crocodile suddenly jumped in
Danse
Dance
Ah, les cro, cro, cro, les cro, cro, cro
Ah, the cro, cro, cro, the cro, cro, cro
Les crocodiles
The crocodiles
Sur le bord du Nil, ils sont partis
By the banks of the Nile, they have left
N'en parlons plus
Let's not talk about it anymore
Ah, les cro, cro, cro, les cro, cro, cro
Ah, the cro, cro, cro, the cro, cro, cro
Les crocodiles
The crocodiles
Sur le bord du Nil, ils sont partis
By the banks of the Nile, they have left
N'en parlons plus
Let's not talk about it anymore
Ah, les cro, cro, cro, les cro, cro, cro
Ah, the cro, cro, cro, the cro, cro, cro
Les crocodiles
The crocodiles
Sur le bord du Nil, ils sont partis
On the edge of the Nile, they have departed
N'en parlons plus
Let's not speak of it anymore
Ah, les cro, cro, cro, les cro, cro, cro
Ah, the cro, cro, cro, the cro, cro, cro
Les crocodiles
The crocodiles
Sur le bord du Nil, ils sont partis
On the edge of the Nile, they have departed
N'en parlons plus
Let's not speak of it anymore
