Page d’écriture Page of Writing
Deux et deux quatre Two and two make four
quatre et quatre huit Four and four make eight
huit et huit font seize... Eight and eight make sixteen
Répétez ! dit le maître 'Repeat!' calls the schoolmaster
Deux et deux quatre Two and two make four
quatre et quatre huit Four and four make eight
huit et huit font seize. Eight and eight make sixteen
Mais voilà l’oiseau-lyre But look at the songbird
qui passe dans le ciel Passing in the sky
l’enfant le voit The child watches it
l’enfant l’entend The child listens to it
l’enfant l’appelle : The child calls to it
Sauve-moi 'Save me!'
joue avec moi 'Play with me, bird!'
oiseau ! So the bird flies down15
Alors l’oiseau descend And plays with the child
et joue avec l’enfant Two and two make four
Deux et deux quatre... 'Repeat' calls the schoolmaster
Répétez ! dit le maître And the child plays
et l’enfant joue And the bird plays with the child
l’oiseau joue avec lui... Four and four make eight
Quatre et quatre huit And eight and eight make sixteen
huit et huit font seize And sixteen and sixteen
et seize et seize qu’est-ce qu’ils font? What do they make?
Ils ne font rien seize et seize They make nothing, sixteen and sixteen
et surtout pas trente-deux And certainly not thirty-two
de toute façon In any case
et ils s’en vont. They all go away
Et l’enfant a caché l’oiseau And the child hides the bird
dans son pupitre In his desk
et tous les enfants And all the other children
entendent sa chanson Listen to its song
et tous les enfants And all the other children
entendent la musique Listen to its music
et huit et huit à leur tour s’en vont And eight and eight go away on their turn
et quatre et quatre et deux et deux And four and four and two and two
à leur tour fichent le camp On their turn they all skedaddle
et un et un ne font ni une ni deux And one and one is not one nor two
un à un s’en vont également. One and one go away equally
Et l’oiseau-lyre joue And the songbird plays
et l’enfant chante And the child sings
et le professeur crie : And the teacher cries:
Quand vous aurez fini de faire le pitre ! 'If you're finished clowning around!'
Mais tous les autres enfants But all the other children
écoutent la musique Are listening to the music
et les murs de la classe And the walls of the class
s’écroulent tranquillement. Slowly fade away
Et les vitres redeviennent sable And the window panes return to sand
l’encre redevient eau The ink returns to water
les pupitres redeviennent arbres The desks return to trees
la craie redevient falaise The chalk returns to the mines
le porte-plume redevient oiseau. The feather quill returns to the bird.
