Текст песни Жак Превер и Французская Революция - Смотритель маяка очень любит птиц

Thousands of birds flying into the fire
Thousands blinded thousands of fight
thousands of birds die
thousands of corpses remain

And the superintendent can not tolerate all this
It may not look like his pets killed
Yes, hang it all !
He says
And extinguishes lighthouse
And the lighthouse is not lit.

And in the sea the ship hits the reef
ship sailing from tropical countries
ship carrying thousands of birds
thousands of birds from tropical countries
Thousands of birds drowning

Translation M. Yasnova
