Sirocco
|
By Winter 2021 Monsieur Cannibale will be rethemed to Sirocco.
Inspired by the many journeys of Sinbad the cooking pots will turn into trade ships. A whirlwind has hit the sea and any trader who boards the ships will enter a dizzying adventure until the storm passes. |

Story
The Sea Journey's of Sindbad The Sailor
Sindbad inherited all his wealth from his father who was a successful merchant.
When he ran out of money, he set out on a journey to trade overseas.
Seething storms, maddening lulls, sea monsters and shipwrecks were is share.
But he also encountered remarkable islands, wise women, mythical birds and a good dose of luck.
Sindbad was always brave and survived his hardships.
He built rafts, made friends with kinds and caliphs and always returned home richer than ever.
Even though he was a wealthy merchant, he could not control his desire to travel and his thirst for adventure.
He sailed the world's seas seven times...
Follow in the footsteps of Sindbad!

Original French Lyrics
En le voyant sortir de son camion, chasser des papillons d'Afrique Les cannibales en le traitant d'espion l'arrêtèrent sans façon de suite Il essaya de leur parler Anglais, Espagnol, Portugais, Chinois Mais s'en voyant leurs mâchoires qui s'ouvraient il se mit à hurler d'effroi Refrain:"Oh, Monsieur Cannibale. Je n'veux pas mourir. Monsieur Cannibale. Laissez moi partir" Il leur montra son briquet, son stylo, sa montre et les photos d'sa femme Il leur chanta un grand air de Gounod, des chansons d'Adamo, que dalle Il leur fit voir des journaux de Paris, personne ne réagit non plus Désespéré il sortit des revues remplies de filles toutes nues et dit Refrain"Oh, Monsieur Cannibale. Je n'veux pas mourir. Monsieur Cannibale. Laissez moi partir" Quand le grand chef aperçut ces revues qu'il vit toutes ses filles nues, il rit Mais dans sa tête une idée saugrenue, une idée farfelue surgit Dans un case où était son harem, il entraîna lui même le gars Qui, en voyant les femmes se ruer sur lui avec tant d'appétit, hurla Refrain "Oh, Monsieur Cannibale. Je n'veux pas mourir. Monsieur Cannibale. Laissez moi partir" Pendant huit jours il resta enfermé et dut se partager, en vain Et comme déjà il n'était pas bien gros, il perdit vingt kilos au moins Quand arriva l'instant où le grand chef lui fit comprendre par geste "Allez""Prends ton camion et retourne chez toi", Le pauvre homme s'écria "Jamais!" "Oh, Monsieur Cannibale. Je n'veux plus partir. Monsieur Cannibale. J'aime mieux mourir" |
English Translation of Lyrics
He drove his truck to Africa to chase African butterflies The Cannibals there thought he was a spy and soon captured him He tried to communicate in English, Spanish, Portuguesa and Chinese . But when he saw them open their mouths he fearfully shouted Chorus: “O Mister Cannibal, I don’t want to die. Mister Cannibal let me go.” He showed them his lighter, his pen, his watch and photos of his wife. He sang an aria of Gounod, songs of Adamo, but nothing. He showed them newspapers from Paris, no one reacted. Desperate he showed them magazines filled with naked girls en said Chorus: “O Mister Cannibal, I don’t want to die. Mister Cannibal let me go.” When the chief saw these magazines with the naked girls, he laughed. But in his head an absurd and singular idea came to him. He himself took him to the shack that housed his harem. Upon looking at the women rushing towards him with an appetite he shouted. Chorus: “O Mister Cannibal, I don’t want to die. Mister Cannibal let me go.” For 8 days he remained enclosed and had to share himself but in vain. And though he was not a heavy man he lost 20 kilos Until the moment arrived when the chief signalled to him and said “Leave, take your truck and go home” The poor man shouted “Never!” “O Mister Cannibal, I don’t want to go Mister Cannibal, I would rather die” |
