Amália Rodrigues - Inch Allah
by Adamo Salvatore
J'ai vu l'orient dans son écrin avec la lune pour bannière
Et je comptais en un quatrain chanter au monde sa lumière
Mais quand j'ai vu Jérusalem, coquelicot sur un rocher,
J'ai entendu un requiem quand, quand sur lui, je me suispenché.
Ne vois-tu pas, humble chapelle, toi qui murmures "paix sur
laterre",
Que les oiseaux cachent de leurs ailes ces lettres de
feu:"Danger frontière!"
Le chemin mène à la fontaine. Tu voudrais bien remplir tonseau.
Arrête-toi, Marie-Madeleine: pour eux, ton corps ne vaut
pasl'eau.
Inch'Allah Inch'Allah Inch'Allah Inch'Allah
Et l'olivier pleure son ombre, sa tendre épouse, son amie
Qui repose sous les décombres prisonnières en terre ennemie.
Sur une épine de barbelés, le papillon guette la rose.
Les gens sont si écervelés qu'ils me répudieront si j'ose.
Dieu de l'enfer ou Dieu du ciel, toi qui te trouves ou bon
tesemble,
Sur cette terre d'Israël, il y a des enfants qui tremblent.
Inch'Allah Inch'Allah Inch'Allah Inch'Allah
Les femmes tombent sous l'orage. Demain, le sang sera lavé.
La route est faite de courage: une femme pour un pavé
Mais oui : j'ai vu Jérusalem, coquelicot sur un rocher.
J'entends toujours ce requiem lorsque, sur lui, je suis penché,
Requiem pour 6 millions d'âmes qui n'ont pas leur mausolée
demarbre
Et qui, malgré le sable infâme, ont fait pousser 6
millionsd'arbres.
Inch'Allah Inch'Allah Inch'Allah Inch'Allah
