i want to be a sea monster

Answer 4

"chacalot" is a sort of spoonerism: the real word is "cachalot" which means "sperm whale"

Et le chacalot a dit: = and the "sperm whale" said

"Je voudrais être un yéti = I'd like to be a yeti

Pour voler dans la nuit = to fly in the night

Et m'envoler loin d'ici" = and fly away from here

Mais le yéti a dit: = but the yeti said

"Je veux être un monstre marin = I want to be a sea monster

Pour pouvoir sauter dans la mer = to be able to jump into the sea

De tous les requins" = of all sharks
