Le grand parking [English translation]

They paved it all to make the big parking

They can park from the Quimper docks till China

It's always the same story:

We don't know what we've got till it's too late

They paved it all to make the big parking!

They took all the trees, put them in a big museum

For turning green, stay in the queue and buy your ticket

It's always the same story:

We don't know what we've got till it's too late

They paved it all to make the big parking!

Farmer, my friend, range your DDT

Let the birds fly, pity if my apples are picked

It's always the same story:

We don't know what we've got till it's too late

They paved it all to make the big parking!

I was dreaming away when I heard the door slam

A big taxi took my little woman away

It's always the same story:

We don't know what we've got till it's too late

They paved it all to make the big parking!

It's always the same story:

We don't know what we've got till it's too late

They paved it all to make the big parking!

They paved it all to make the big parking!

They paved it all to make the big parking!
