Discover the story of the song > Chanson d’innocence – Gérard Lenorman

The lyrics are about a person (referred to as "he") listening to a song. The song talks about a woman (referred to as "she") who says that nobody should harm the birds in the wheat fields and that she would kill the hunter who kills them, even if it was her partner. The lyrics also mention how the world has changed, with hunters being on the side of birds now and using nuclear weapons to kill them. The protagonist reflects on how the fields of wheat from their childhood will soon be like a desert and how the masters of war are disguising themselves behind their speeches and lying more each day. The protagonist wonders if the woman still believes in violence or if she still believes in love, which makes him doubt.
