Le Mot France
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.
Je suis né plus loin, beaucoup plus loin qu'on pense.
C'est à Saïgon que j'ai eu mon enfance
Et ma mère, là-bas, le disait doucement,
Le mot France,
Le mot France.
France,
Le temps s'est enfui mais je le sais depuis :
Il suffit d'être loin ou seulement d'être seul
Pour avoir le coeur serré quand on entend
Le mot France,
Le mot France.
France,
Elle était institutrice, et, au lycée,
On a rencontré ces mots dans nos dictées.
Ecrivez maison, justice et liberté,
Espérance,
Le mot France.
Il y avait
Il y avait aussi, plus tard, je l'ai appris,
Et révolutions et passions et violences
Et misères et flammes et guerres et drames
Mais France,
C'était les rivières et mes montagnes bleues.
C'était les clairières et les enfants heureux,
Des châteaux, des blés, des champs, des roses,
Tant de choses, en France.
France,
Le temps s'est enfui mais je le sais depuis :
Il suffit d'être loin ou seulement d'être seul
Pour avoir le coeur serré quand on entend
Le mot France,
Le mot France,
France.
