País petit

Small Country
My country is so small
That when the sun goes to sleep
It's never safe enough
Of having seen it
The wise old women say
That's why he's coming back
Maybe they are exaggerating
It's worth it!
That's how I like it
I couldn't say anything more
I sing and I will always know
Sick with love for my country
My country is so small
That from the top of a bell tower
You can always see
The neighboring bell tower
They say that the townspeople are afraid
They are afraid of feeling alone
They are afraid of being too big
It's worth it!
That's how I like it
I couldn't say anything more
I sing and I will always know
Sick with love for my country
My country is so small
That always goes deep into the heart
If life takes you
Far from here
And we become smugglers
Until they discover
Detectors for the secrets of the heart
And that's it!
That's how I like it
I couldn't say anything more
I sing and I will always know
Sick with love for my country
The country is so small
That when the sun goes to sleep
It's never safe enough
Of having seen it
