This recording is intended to help French-speaking performers on their show, as they're touring it in foreign countries and need to translate their script. The aim is to help them with the pronunciation through this recording.
We are from the Big Top
We are from the sky
We were made from the air you breathe
We are light as feathers, light as air
We believe that when an ant dies, all the other ants go to the funeral
We believe that when we swallow a cherry stone, a cherry tree won’t grow in our stomach, but it will in our bowel
We believe that the beating of our heart is actually a squirrel on a swing between our ribs, its little paws going ‘thump, thump, thump’
We know that when we see flies, a storm is brewing
So we storm off when we see flies
And flies fly off during the storm
We are too young to grasp it all
And young enough to take it all
We are from the sky
Therefore at night, when we open our arms, we fly away and go to sleep up there, under the big top
Just like bats
Our children come join us, filled up with air and love
They float and pee upwards since there are no beds
We float
We flit
We flow
We fly
We flap
We flash
We forge
We’re free
We are children
We are from the earth
From the sea, from the sky
CHILDREN!
Thank you both!
