L'orange
Gilbert Becaud
The Orange
You stole, stole, stole, stole, stole, stole the orange
You stole, stole, stole, the merchant's orange
You stole, stole, stole, stole, stole, stole the orange
You stole, stole, stole, the merchant's orange
You’re crazy, it’s not me, I didn’t steal the orange
I’m too scared of thieves, I didn’t take the merchant's orange
It can only be you
You’re mean and ugly
There was blood on your fingers
When the orange was dripping
Yeah, it’s you who stole it
With your claw-like hands
Yeah, it’s you who stole it
Someone saw you
You’re mistaken
I was running in the mountains
Always looking
With stars in my eyes
You’re mistaken
I was searching in the mountains
For the bluebird
You stole, stole, stole, stole, stole, stole the orange
You stole, stole, stole the merchant's orange
We’ve been watching you for a while
With your wolf-like teeth
We’ve been watching you for a while
You’ll have the noose around your neck
For you, today is the last day
You’re just a filthy thief
First, you’re just a stranger
And you bring bad luck
You’re mistaken
I was running in the mountains
Always looking
With stars in my eyes
You’re mistaken
I was searching in the mountains
For the bluebird
I didn’t steal, didn’t steal, didn’t steal, didn’t steal, didn’t steal the orange
I didn’t steal, didn’t steal the merchant's orange
You stole, stole, stole, stole, stole, stole the orange
You’re scared. You’ll never steal the orange again
I didn’t steal, didn’t steal the merchant's orange
You stole, stole, stole the merchant's orange
You see it, it’s there
The rope that will hang you
The rope that will hang you
