Amadou & Mariam

Camions Sauvages

The long, long wild trucks
The world is my wild truck

The route is long, my feet are heavy
And my eyelids heavy as lead, crash on the road

The long, long wild trucks
The world is my wild truck

My back broken, tired brakes
Alongside the long white snake
Dazzling... fall the kilometres

The long, long wild trucks
The world is my wild truck

Dead the chickens
Dead the children
Dead the giraffes
Dead the elephants

The long, long wild trucks
The world is my wild truck

Alongside the long wild trucks
The world is my wild truck
You the driver of this bad truck
Can’t you brake a little?
Your bad car kills giraffes
Hippopotamuses and children
Your bad car kills chickens
Elephants and children
Can’t you brake a little?
It is the economical panic
It is the economical panic
