Ten Little Indians (vocal)

(Nilsson)
Ten little Indians,
Standing in a line.
One stood looking at another man′s wife,
Then there were nine.
Nine little Indians,
Their hearts were full of hate.
One took his neighbour's goods,
Then there were eight.
Eight little Indians,
They just got down from heaven.
One told a lie about another′s best friend,
Then there were seven.
Seven little Indians,
All trying to get their kicks.
One thought he'd found another way to get to heaven,
Then there were six.
Six little Indians,
Trying to stay alive.
One took another's life,
Then there were five.
Five little indians,
All trying to find the door.
One pulled his mother down,
Then there were four.
Four little Indians,
All thinking that they gotta be free.
One little Indian forgot to say his prayers,
Then there were three.
Three little Indians,
Deciding what they′re gonna have to do.
One took the name of God in vain,
Then there were two.
Two little Indians,
Thinking that they oughtta have some fun.
One took a liking to a picture of himself,
Then there was one.
One little Indian,
Out looking for the sun.
At six o′clock, the moon came out,
Then there was none.

Dix Petits Indiens (chant)

(Nilsson)
Dix petits Indiens,
Debout en ligne.
Un a regardé la femme d'un autre,
Il ne restait plus que neuf.
Neuf petits Indiens,
Leurs cœurs étaient remplis de haine.
Un a pris les biens de son voisin,
Il ne restait plus que huit.
Huit petits Indiens,
Ils venaient de descendre du ciel.
Un a dit un mensonge sur le meilleur ami d'un autre,
Il ne restait plus que sept.
Sept petits Indiens,
Tous essayant d'obtenir leurs kicks.
Un a pensé avoir trouvé un autre moyen d'aller au ciel,
Il ne restait plus que six.
Six petits Indiens,
Essayant de rester en vie.
Un a pris la vie d'un autre,
Il ne restait plus que cinq.
Cinq petits Indiens,
Tous essayant de trouver la porte.
Un a fait tomber sa mère,
Il ne restait plus que quatre.
Quatre petits Indiens,
Tous pensant qu'ils doivent être libres.
Un petit Indien a oublié de dire ses prières,
Il ne restait plus que trois.
Trois petits Indiens,
Décidant ce qu'ils vont devoir faire.
Un a pris le nom de Dieu en vain,
Il ne restait plus que deux.
Deux petits Indiens,
Pensant qu'ils devraient s'amuser un peu.
Un a aimé un portrait de lui-même,
Il ne restait plus qu'un.
Un petit Indien,
Cherchant le soleil.
À six heures, la lune est sortie,
Il ne restait plus personne.
