THE INHABITANTS OF THE HOUSE AND THEIR FRIENDS
Hello to you child.
My name is Zoé.
I’m the oldest
open up your ears.
I was born at the time
of thousands of colours,
with thousands of animals,
magic, plants and flowers.
I met with giants,
but also with dwarves
and hot-headed fairies,
dazzling wizards.
I see beauty in the smallest things.
I love children, smiles and roses.
I love getting dirty, feeding the earth,
smoking my pipe and sipping a good beer.
Nothing escapes me, in this flying house,
but if Fernandel,
brainless crow that he is,
steals my glasses
and flies into the sky,
Hide yourself, my child!
It’s better for you
for old mother Zoé
will kick up a storm!
Hi, this is Gaia,
I’m the little sister
always next to you
at whatever time.
I adore daydreaming, the stars travelling
in the sky, stories hummed.
I can speak all the languages in the world,
I know the secrets of the deepest seas.
Alas, very often I’m a little too distracted,
Otherwise I’d be perfect.
I’m very curious,
often very joyful.
But, if, by bad luck
I’m disturbed
during my yoga
or at teatime,
run quickly, dear child,!
Save yourself, please!
The old mother Gaia
wants to EAT YOU!
Fernandel is my name, I’m the Crow
of this house and I’m the handsomest.
Messages, I deliver, wisdom I emit
and everywhere I go
my plumage is admired.
One day by chance, in this field I arrived
and strange sisters I found here.
My sight is known
for being blurred
and without my glasses
I see nothing, I admit!
Sometimes, by mistake, I pinch those of Zoé.
She gets angry and chases me,
she wants to pluck me!
But in the end peace we make,
a pipe we smoke and a glass we drink.
Hello there my friends, people call me Bo,
with my big heart, I heal all ills.
Abandoned on a small beach I was
and in a small cardboard box I settled.
I was very small, alone and frightened,
but thanks to my courage, my care and my love
from a stone thrown on the ground grew a tree.
And Mother Nature seeing it’s beauty
baptised this beach ‘The Peach Beach”.
Today I live, with my friends,
in this carriage of madmen, without fear nor worries,
I’m free, full of joy.
You know why?
Life is easy
with Zoé and Gaïa!
Hello there little one, my name’s Amélie.
I’m the fat hen here in this paradise.
People tell me, because of what I am
Flying is impossible, I have to forget it.
You’re heavy and clumsy, that’s what they say,
But I reply, and this is the honest truth,
That I’m a snowflake,
A feather, a beauty
Against all odds, I’m going to fly,
To go and conquer my freedom,
True to my dreams
Brave and proud,
I explore my kingdom
Happier and happier
Faust is my name and I’m the black cat,
I miaow to the moon, I write spells.
Of all the black cats, I’m the darkest,
I’m deceitful and vicious, I can see in the dark.
There is no secret that you can hide from me,
I pierce every surface and have no pity.
I’m a nightmare, I won’t lie to you
And if I get angry I transform myself into a vampire.
What are you saying, adorable kitten?
You’re not all black,
You have a white spot on your face!
as white as snow,
It’s marvelous,
Like the sunshine, a star that awakens!
Careful, my child, you’re too trusting,
Faust, my name alone, scares even the wind!!
