Un mosquito
A mosquito
C'est un moustique en colère
It's an angry mosquito
Un mosquito
A mosquito
Pique et pique et pique dans la chair
Stings and stings and stings in the flesh
Un mosquito
A mosquito
Ça pond ses oeufs dans nos rivières
It lays its eggs in our rivers
Un mosquito
A mosquito
Ça vit au milieu de ses frères, un mosquito
It lives among its brothers, a mosquito
Un mosquito
A mosquito
Ça rêve loin de nos rizières
It dreams far from our rice fields
Un mosquito
A mosquito
Ça préfère la chaleur
It prefers the heat
Un mosquito
A mosquito
Ça frappe la tête la première
It strikes headfirst
Un mosquito
A mosquito
Ça boit du sang chaud ordinaire, un mosquito
It drinks ordinary warm blood, a mosquito
Et ça cloque chaud
And it raises a blister hot
Mosquito
Chez les modestes et les beaux
Among the humble and the beautiful
Mosquito
Ça pique chaud
It stings hot
Mosquito
Chez les bronzés, les pâlots
With the tanned, the pale ones
Un mosquito
A mosquito
C'est un moustique qui galère
It's a mosquito struggling
Un mosquito
A mosquito
Pique et pique et pique dans ta chair
Stinging and stinging and stinging your flesh
Un mosquito
A mosquito
C'est un méchant hélicoptère
It's a nasty helicopter
Un mosquito
A mosquito
Ça vit du sang chaud des baigneurs, un mosquito
It's alive with the warm blood of bathers, a mosquito
Et ça cloque chaud
And it blisters hot
Mosquito
Chez les gentils, les salauds
Among the nice ones, the bums
Mosquito
Et ça pique chaud
And it stings hot
Mosquito
Même le chiens et les oiseaux
Even the dogs and the birds
Mosquito
Et ça cloque chaud
And it blisters hot
Mosquito
Chez les modestes et les beaux
With the humble and the beautiful
Mosquito
Ça pique chaud
It stings hot
Mosquito
Chez les bronzés, les pâlots
With the tanned, the pale
Mosquito
Et ça cloque chaud
And it blisters hot
Mosquito
Chez les gentils, les salauds
With the nice ones, the bastards
Mosquito
It stings warm
Ça pique chaud
Eh-eh
