It has now been almost a year since France has been restrained, thwarted, confined and forcibly put to sleep by the pandemic and its cohort of health rules. For all that, do the French have to give up singing, dancing and contesting? Fortunately, no, as evidenced by this wonderful flashmob organized on March 4, 2021 at the Gare du Nord.

These lyrics are those of the song To dance again de HK Saltimbank:
“We want to continue dancing again See our thoughts embrace our bodies Spend our lives on a grid of chords Oh, no no no no no no We want to keep dancing again See our thoughts embrace our bodies Spend our lives on a grid of chords
We are birds of passage Never docile nor really wise We don’t pledge allegiance At dawn in all circumstances We come to break the silence
And when the evening on TV The good king has spoken
Came to announce the sentence We are irreverent But always with elegance
We want to keep dancing again See our thoughts embrace our bodies Spend our lives on a grid of chords Oh, no no no no no no We want to keep dancing again See our thoughts embrace our bodies Spend our lives on a grid of chords
Auto-metro-work-conso Self-attestation that we sign Prescription absurdity And woe to him who thinks And woe to him who dances
Every authoritative measure Every whiff of security Sees our confidence fly away They are so insistent To confine our consciousness
We want to keep dancing again See our thoughts embrace our bodies Spend our lives on a grid of chords Oh, no no no no no no We want to keep dancing again See our thoughts embrace our bodies Spend our lives on a grid of chords
Let’s not be impressionable By all these unreasonable people Fear sellers in abundance Anguishing, to the point of indecency
Let’s know how to keep them at a distance For our mental health Social and environmental Our smiles, our intelligence Let’s not be without resistance The instruments of their insanity
We want to keep dancing again See our thoughts embrace our bodies Spend our lives on a grid of chords Oh, no no no no no no We want to keep dancing again See our thoughts embrace our bodies Spend our lives on a grid of chords. »
