Le Petit Gars
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.
Derrière la rivière du pèreOn voyait s'agiter la
citéEt faner les fleurs solitairesDans les parterres grillagésLe
petit gars là-haut sur sa collineVenait les contempler
en paix...Ces enfants qui jouent en plein airEntre
la route et la voie ferréeIls vont finir
par manquer d'airOu ils vont s'électrocuterLe petit gars
là-haut sur sa collineVenait les contempler en paix...Mais
le petit gars ne comprenait rienAllongé sous les
arbres il se trouvait bienAttendant tranquille la récolte
du vinÀ quoi servent leurs belles manièresSi leurs
mots sont empoisonnésÀ quoi servent leurs têtes fièresPuisqu'ils
marchent le dos courbéLe petit gars là-haut sur
sa collineVenait les contempler en paix.Mais derrière la
rivière du pèreOn voyait s'agiter la citéEt tourner
les ogres d'affairesDans les tours de verre climatiséesLe
petit gars là-haut sur sa collineVenait les contempler
en paix...Mais le petit gars ne comprenait rienAllongé
sous les arbres il se trouvait bienAttendant tranquille
que cuise son pain.Mais le petit gars ne
comprenait rienOù s'en vont mourir ces pauvres pantinsAllongés
sous les arbres ils seraient si bienAttendant tranquilles
que coule le vin.
