The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Quand l'hiver a pris sa besaceQue tout s'endort
et tout se glaceDans mon jardin abandonnéQuand les
jours soudain rapetissentQue les fantômes envahissentLa solitude des
alléesQuand la burle secoue les portesEn balayant les
feuilles mortesAux quatre coins de la valléeUn grillon
un grillonUn grillon dans ma cheminéeUn grillon un
grillonUn grillon se met à chanterIl n'a pourtant
dans son assiettePas la plus petite herbe verteLa
plus fragile graminéeA se mettre sous la luetteQuand
le vent souffle la tempêteEt qu'il est l'heure
de dînerQue peut-il bien manger ou boireA quoi
peut-il rêver ou croireQuel espoir encore l'habiterUn grillon
un grillonUn grillon dans ma cheminéeUn grillon un
grillonUn grillon se met à chanterSon cri n'a
d'autre raison d'êtreQue son refus de disparaîtreDe cet
univers désoléPour le meilleur et pour le pireIl
chante comme je respirePour ne pas être asphyxiéSait-il
au fond de sa mémoireQue c'est du cœur
de la nuit noireQu'on peut voir l'aube se
leverUn grillon un grillonUn grillon dans ma cheminéeUn
grillon un grillonUn grillon se met à chanter
