Y a tout à l'heure
Quinze ans d'malheur
Mon vieux Léon
Que tu es parti
Au paradis
D'l'accordéon
Parti bon train
Voir si l'bastrin-
gue et la java
Avaient gardé
Droit de cité
Chez Jéhovah
Quinze ans bientôt
Qu'musique au dos
Tu t'en allais
Mener le bal
A l'amicale
Des feux follets
En cet asile
Par saint' Cécile
Pardonne-nous
De n'avoir pas
Su faire cas
De ton biniou
C'est une erreur
Mais les joueurs
D'accordéon
Au grand jamais
On ne les met
Au Panthéon
Mon vieux, tu as dû
T'contener du
Champ de navets
Sans grandes pom-
pes et sans pompons
Et sans ave
Mais les copains
Suivaient l'sapin
Le c?ur serré
En rigolant
Pour fair' semblant
De n'pas pleurer
Et dans nos c?urs
Pauvre joueur
D'accordéon
Il fait ma foi
Beaucoup moins froid
Qu'au Panthéon
Depuis mon vieux
Qu'au fond des cieux
Tu as fait ton trou
Il a coulé
De l'eau sous les
Ponts de chez nous
Les bons enfants
D'la rue de Van-
ves à la Gaîté
L'un comme l'au-
tre au gré des flots
Fur'nt emportés
Mais aucun d'eux
N'a fait fi de
Son temps jadis
Tous sont restés
Du parti des
Myosotis
Tous ces pierrots
Ont le c?ur gros
Mon vieux Léon
En entendant
Le moindre chant
D'accordéon
Quel temps fait-il
Chez les gentils
De l'au-delà
Les musiciens
Ont-ils enfin
Trouvé le la
Et le p'tit bleu
Est-c'que ça n'le
Rend pas meilleur
D'être servi
Au sein des vi-
gnes du Seigneur
Si d'temps en temps
Un'dam' d'antan
S'laisse embrasser
Sûr'ment papa
Que tu regrett's pas
D'être passé
Et si l'bon Dieu
Aim' tant soit peu
L'accordéon
Au firmament
Tu t'plais sûr'ment
Mon vieux Léon
The lyrics LE VIEUX LÉON of GEORGES BRASSENS is also present in the album Le phornographe (1958)
Georges Brassens (1921-1981) è stato un cantautore francese di fama internazionale, considerato uno dei più grandi poeti e musicisti del XX secolo. Nato a Vaucluse, in Francia, Brassens ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '50, conquistando il pubblico con le sue canzoni ironiche, malinconiche e profondamente umane. Le sue opere, spesso caratterizzate da un linguaggio semplice ma efficace, affrontavano temi sociali, politici e personali con una sensibilità unica. Brassens si è distinto per la sua voce profonda e rauca, accompagnata da un'acuta capacità di interpretazione. Tra i suoi brani più famosi ricordiamo "Le Mistral", "La Nonne", "Brave Margot" e "Je chante le blues". La sua musica ha influenzato generazioni di artisti e continua ad essere apprezzata in tutto il mondo per la sua autenticità, profondità e bellezza.
