Quand t'es parti gitanTu as laissé seulementUne voiture en morceauxT'as pris tes chaises de bambouTa guitare de rien du toutT'as mis le vent sous ta peauT'as caressé les oiseaux,
t'as caressé les oiseauxT'as mis des pierres sur le feuLes femmes aux longs cheveuxOnt tout lavé dans des seauxSéché la linge sur les buissonsRentré les gosses dans les camionsSur les paniers de roseauxEt caressé les oiseaux,
caressé les oiseauxOù allais-tu ?À part les flaques de boueEt quelques traces de rouesTu n'as rien voulu laisserT'as mis ta fierté gitaneAux rideaux des caravanesComme des drapeaux pliésT'as caressé les oiseaux,
t'as caressé les oiseauxOù allais-tu ?J'ai peur des lumières des villesDes grandes maisons immobilesDes jardins bâtis tout autourJ'ai peur qu'on emmène d'officeAu bout du fusil des milicesLes enfants de notre amourIls traitent nos filles de voleusesDu fond de leurs maisons peureusesPleines de chiens de combatIls attachent leurs volaillesIls surveillent leurs ferraillesOn ne se ressemble pas...Y a des panneaux depuisEmplacement interditComme s'il y avait eu la pesteT'as plus qu'à chercher ailleursDes gens qui auront moins peurEn espérant qu'il en resteEt caresser les oiseaux !
Et caresser les oiseaux !
