Manon Lisa - The Little Fisherman
This is the story of a little fisherman
Who only fished in the morning
Because for him, happiness
Was being with his family
Enjoying time with his family
Lazing on the sand
Watching his daughters grow up
Peaceful afternoons
One day, while he was resting
Beside his boat
A question was asked of him
By a businessman in a tie
What good is it
To sleep on the docks
When at the bottom of the sea
So many fish are still swimming?
To build an empire
Work tirelessly
With the money you earn
You'll buy an engine
You'll go fishing offshore
You'll make more profit
Soon you'll have ten boats
Concrete buildings
Crustaceans, cetaceans
All end up piled up
In the predator nets
Of your steel trawlers
You'll sell your stock
By making filet-o-fish
The cash you rake in
You mustn't give it to the taxman
And then import, export
You'll swim in dollars
The seabed will be dead
But you'll live like a king
What does living like a king mean to you?
Said the fisherman
A king's life
It's being able to spend hours
Enjoying your family
Lazing on the sand
Watching your daughters grow up
Peaceful afternoons
But that's already
Exactly what I do
And the fisherman left
Humming this refrain
I love, I love
When life is easy
I love, I love
When the sun shines
I love, I love
When love beckons
Blow on your eyelashes
I love, I love
That everything fascinates me
I love, I love
That you love me too, yes
I love, I love
The sea and the sky
That's what matters
To boredom
To love
To the life we lead
To our laughter
To our days
To our refrains
To boredom
To love
To the life we lead
To our laughter days
It's the story of a little fisherman
And the story of so many people
They make you believe that happiness
Is chasing money
They tell you to earn a living
As if just living weren't enough
You don't need a big ship
To achieve what you already have
