Pour un ami
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.
Pour un ami qui souffre, pour l'enfant qui dort,
Pour un chagrin d'amour, qui ne veut pas finir,
Pour une nuit d'hiver en Méditerranée,
Pour un verre de vin partagé à plusieurs,
Pour que dansent les vagues captives dans le port,
Pour que chantent les filles à la tombée du jour,
Et pour que le silence semble plus léger,
Je joue cette musique qui traînait dans la rue.
Elle vient de quelque part, je ne sais plus très bien,
J'ai visité le monde et j'en suis revenu.
J'ai gaspillé mon âme et j'ai perdu le nord
Je joue cette musique pour ne penser à rien.
