De Gaulle

De Gaulle, de Lille,
Le siècle va mourir tranquille.
De Gaulle, dix ans,
La France est douce en 1900.
Pendant que les autres garçons
Vont jouer aux billes ou au ballon,
Il sait déjà que son pays
Un jour aura besoin de lui.
De Gaulle, de Londres:
"Français, la route sera longue."
De Gaulle, 40,
Une certaine idée qui chante.
Une poignée de marins bretons,
Quelques soldats sans munitions,
Et quatre notes de Beethoven,
Et mille ans d'Histoire dans les veines.
De Gaulle, de Londres,
Voix magique d'un autre monde.
De Gaulle, de Lille,
Comme un naufragé dans son île.
On fait un sinistre procès,
À ce général sans étoile
Mais quand de Gaulle parle aux Français
Ils reconstruisent leurs cathédrales.
De Gaulle, de Londres,
D'Alger, de Strasbourg et de Lille,
Au creux de l'ombre,
Au fond des chemins de l'exil.
Après les pistes de l'Afrique,
Passant par dessus l'Amérique,
Il était là une heure en avance
Au rendez-vous de l'espérance.
De Gaulle de France,
De Gaulle de France.
