Rendez-vous en terre inconnue
 
Zazie is one of our favorite young French talents! Her huge 2007 hit, Je suis un homme, about the price of humankind's abuse of its dominance, is powerful and beautiful.
 

C'est moi, le maître du feu,
Le maître du jeu, le maître du monde
Et vois ce que j'en ai fait,
Une Terre glacée, une Terre brûlée,
La Terre des hommes que les hommes abandonnent.

 

In this video, filmed during Rendez-vous en terre inconnu, a documentary series, she sits around the fire with members of the Korowai tribe, the indigenous "Tree People" of Papua New Guinea, and sings the song. They are moved to tears, so was she, and so were we.

 

Je suis un homme appears on the album Totem. See the studio video here, read the lyrics, and buy the album here.

 

Are you a teacher? There's a lesson plan to go with the song, perfect for your advanced French students!
