C'est à travers de larges grilles,
Que les femelles du canton,
Contemplaient un puissant gorille,
Sans souci du qu'en-dira-t-on.
Avec impudeur, ces commères
Lorgnaient même un endroit précis
Que, rigoureusement ma mère
M'a défendu de nommer ici...
Gare au gorille !...
Voilà que la prison bien close
S'ouvre sur le bel animal
On n'sait pourquoi. Je suppose
Qu'on avait du la fermer mal.
Le singe, en sortant de sa cage
Dit "C'est aujourd'hui que j'le perds !"
Il parlait de son pucelage,
Vous aviez deviné, j'espère !
Gare au gorille !...
Tout le monde se précipite
Hors d'atteinte du singe en rut,
Sauf une vielle décrépite
Et un jeune juge en bois brut;
Voyant que chacuns se dérobent,
Le quadrumane accéléra
Son dandinement vers les robes
De la vieille et du magistrat !
Gare au gorille !... x2
"Bah ! soupirait la centenaire,
Qu'on puisse encore me désirer,
Ce serait extraordinaire,
Et, pour tout dire, inespéré !" ;
Le juge pensait, impassible,
"Qu'on me prenne pour une guenon,
C'est complètement impossible..."
La suite lui prouva que non !
Gare au gorille !...
Car si l'on sait que le gorille
Aux jeux de l'amour vaut son prix,
On sait qu'en revanche il ne brille
Ni par le goût, ni par l'esprit.
Lors, au lieu d'opter pour la vieille,
Comme l'aurait fait n'importe qui,
Il saisit le juge à l'oreille
Et l'entraîna dans un maquis !
Gare au gorille !...
La suite serait délectable,
Malheureusement, je ne peux
Pas la dire, et c'est regrettable,
Ça nous aurait fait rire un peu ;
Car le juge, au moment suprême,
Criait : "Maman !", pleurait beaucoup,
Comme l'homme auquel, le jour même,
Il avait fait trancher le cou.
Gare au gorille !... x3
The lyrics LE GORILLE of FRANCIS CABREL is also present in the album L'essentiel 1977-2017 (2017)
Francis Cabrel è un cantautore e chitarrista francese nato ad Agen il 23 novembre 1953. Influenzato da Bob Dylan, ha pubblicato numerosi album che si collocano principalmente nel genere folk, con incursioni occasionali nel blues o nel country. Alcuni dei suoi brani, come "L'encre de tes yeux" e "Petite Marie", sono diventati canzoni d'autore intramontabili nella musica francese. Altri, come "C'etait l'hiver", che racconta il suicidio di una giovane ragazza, sono stati successivamente reinterpretati da artisti come la canadese Isabelle Boulay. Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo "Les Morts de la nuit" (1980) e "Hors-Saison" (1987). Cabrel è noto per le sue melodie orecchiabili, testi poetici e un'interpretazione intensa.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
