Le p'tit oiseau de toutes les couleurs [English translation]

This morning I go outside

He waited for me, he was here

He was hopping on the sidewalk

My God, he was amusing to see

The little bird of all colors

The little bird of all colors

It's been a long time that I haven't seen

A little bird in my street

I don't know what got to me

The weather was nice, I followed him

The little bird of all colors

The little bird of all colors

Where are you taking me, say

Where are you dragging me, say

Don't go too fast, say

Wait for me!

You are in such a hurry, say

Do you have a date, say

Wherever you're going, say

I'm going with you

We pass by Loucho's

Who says Hey! who says Ho!

I didn't stop

Sorry, my friend, I'm running after

The little bird of all colors

The little bird of all colors

On the avenue, I no longer saw him

I thought I lost him

But I heard him whistle

And it was him that was looking for me

The little bird of all colors

The little bird of all colors

Where are you taking me, say

Where are you dragging me, say

Don't go too fast, say

Wait for me!

You are in such a hurry, say

Do you have a date, say

Wherever you're going, say

I'm going with you

We arrived at the port

He sang louder and louder

He turned, looked at me

At the edge of the sea he flew away

I can't fly, say

I can't swim, say

I'm a prisoner, say

Don't blame me

And safe trip, say

Come back to me quickly, say

The little bird of all colors

Safe trip!

Come back quickly, say!

Safe trip!
