Mon maquis

It's an inextricable maze,
impenetrable too.
It's my Maq... my bed:
It's my maquis.

It's a refuge, room without sight
where the air is pure, so pure.
It's my Maq... my bed:
It's my maquis.

It's an inextricable maze
  of roaring laughter
It's my Maq... here.
It's my maquis.

It's a den, safe like a father.
Secret paths, paths of glass.
Little brother... it's... also
your room and your maquis.

It's an inextricable maze,
impenetrable too.
It's my Maq... my bed.
It's my maquis.

It's a garden,
whose path is really his too.
It's my Maq... here
It's my maquis.

To share and speak of everything
  to protect him too.
It's my Maq... here.
It's my maquis.

Bedroom to hide, with a quilt
[with scenes] of pirouettes by puppets.
Little brother, you're here.
Me, I am your friend.

It's an inextricable, impenetrable maze.
It's a refuge, room without sight where the air is pure.
An inextricable maze of roaring laughs.
It's my Maq... my bed.
It's my maquis.

It's an inextricable, impenetrable maze.
It's a garden, whose path is really his.
Share, speak of everything to protect it.
It's my Maq... my bed.
It's my maquis.

(repeat previous 2 verses)

It's an inextricable, impenetrable maze.
It's a maze.

Mon maquis

C'est un dédale inextricable,
Impénétrable aussi
C'est mon Maq… mon lit :
C'est mon maquis

C'est un refuge, chambre sans vue
Où l'air est pur, si pur
Est mon Maq… mon lit :
C'est mon maquis

C'est un dédale inextricable
De rires, d'éclats aussi
C'est mon Maq… ici
C'est mon maquis

C'est un repaire, sûr comme un père
Sentiers secrets, sentiers de verre,
Petit frère… c'est… aussi
Ta chambre et ton maquis

C'est un dédale inextricable,
Impénétrable aussi
C'est mon Maq… mon lit :
C'est mon maquis

C'est un jardin, dont le chemin
Est bien le sien aussi
C'est mon Maq… ici
C'est mon maquis

Partager tout parler de tout
Le protéger aussi
C'est mon Maq… ici
C'est mon maquis

Chambre cachette, chambre avec couette
De pirouettes en marionnettes
Petit frère, toi ici
Moi, je suis ton amie

C'est un dédale inextricable, Impénétrable
C'est un refuge, chambre sans vue où l'air est pur
C'est un dédale inextricable de rires, d'éclats
C'est mon Maq… mon lit :
C'est mon maquis

C'est un dédale inextricable,Impénétrable
C'est un jardin, dont le chemin est bien le sien
Partager tout parler de tout le protéger
C'est mon Maq… ici
C'est son maquis

(répétez les 2 strophes ci-dessus)

C'est un dédale inextricable, Impénétrable      (x8)
C'est un dédale             (x32)

Mon maquis

It's a maze with no way out of it
No way in can you see
It's my Maq...lie free:
It's my maquis

It's a refuge a viewless room
Where air is pure, so pure
And my Maq... lie free
It's my maquis

It's a maze with no way out of it
In laughter fits to see
It's my Maq...here see
It's my maquis

A den is there, sure father's care
Discreet corsair, secretive air,
Brother dear... safe you see
Your room and your maquis

It's a maze with no way out of it
No way in can you see
It's my Maq... lie free:
It's my maquis

It's a garden, the way within
Is also his you see
It's my Maq...here see
It's my maquis

Sharing all to speak of all too
Safe from all enemies
It's my Maq... here see
It's my maquis

A hidden space, a quilt in place
Dolls pirouette all on its face
Brother dear, with me
Your friend I'll always be

It's a maze with no way out, no way in can see
It's a refuge, a viewless room where air is pure,
It's a maze with no way out in laughter fits
It's my Maq...here see
It's my maquis

It's a maze with no way out, no way in can see
It's a garden, the way within his to begin
Sharing all to speak of all protecting him
It's my Maq...here see
It's his maquis

It's a maze with no way out, no way in can see
It's a maze
