Oh c'est pour vous direOh se souvenirEt pour vous raconterD'où je suis néePrès d'AuschwitzMon père grandissaitC'était un juif polonaisAux Beaux Arts à CracovieIl rêve de ParisEt puis la guerre l'a surprisIls l'ont pris à 19 ansIl fit pendant ces cinq ansNeufs camps différentsUn hommeC'était un hommeDifformeDans sa personneDont le for intérieurAvait encore peurMais toujours lui est restéLe sens de la beautéOn m'a dit quand tout s'écroulaitComme il dessinait,Comme il résistaitMiracle,
il en est sortiIl a réussi à tenirEt à venir à ParisPeindre et donner la vieOh c'est pour vous direSe souvenirEt pour vous raconter
