Avec son marteau piqueur
Il creuse le sillon
De la route de demain
Il y met du coeur
Le soleil et le gel
Sont écrits sur ses mains
Le Portugais dans son cire tout rouge
Qui ressemble à un épouvantail
As-tu vu l'étrange laboureur
Des prairies de béton
Et des champs de rocaille?
Il faut en faire des voyages
Il faut en faire du chemin
Ce n'est plus dans son village
Qu'on peut gagner son pain
Loin de son toit, de sa ville
À cinq cent lieus vers le nord
Le soir dans un bidonville
Le Portugais s'endort
Il est arrivé
À la Gare d'Austerlitz
Voilà deux ans déjà
Il n'a qu'une idée
Gagner beaucoup d'argent
Et retourner là-bas
Le Portugais dans son cire tout rouge
Qui ressemble à un épouvantail
Il ne t'entend pas
Il est sur le chemin qui mène au Portugal
Il faut en faire des voyages
Il faut en faire du chemin
Ce n'est plus dans son village
Qu'on peut gagner son pain
Loin de son toit, de sa ville
À cinq cent lieus vers le nord
Le soir dans un bidonville
Le Portugais s'endort
The lyrics LE PORTUGAIS of JOE DASSIN is also present in the album L'amerique (1970)
Joe Dassin (Joseph Ira Dassin, 1938-1980) è stato un cantante e compositore statunitense naturalizzato francese. Considerato uno dei più grandi artisti della musica francese degli anni '60 e '70, Dassin ha conquistato il pubblico con la sua voce calda e le sue canzoni romantiche e orecchiabili. Super poliglotta, era in grado di esprimersi e cantare in inglese, francese, tedesco, spagnolo, italiano e greco. Nato a New York da genitori francesi, si trasferì in Francia all'età di 18 anni per dedicarsi alla musica. Il suo successo arrivò con il brano "Les Champs-Élysées" (1970), che divenne un inno nazionale francese. Tra le sue canzoni più famose ricordiamo anche "Salut les copains", "Et si tu n'existais pas", e "Laissez-moi danser". Dassin ha collaborato con numerosi artisti francesi, tra cui Claude François e Gilbert Bécaud. La sua musica è ancora oggi molto apprezzata in Francia e nel mondo.
