Lyrics Les fenêtres Jacques Brel

Les fenêtres


Les fenêtres nous guettent
Quand notre c?ur s'arrête
En croisant Louisette
Pour qui brûlent nos chairs
Les fenêtres rigolent
Quand elles voient la frivole
Qui offre sa corolle
À un clerc de notaire
Les fenêtres sanglotent
Quand à l'aube falote
Un enterrement cahote
Jusqu'au vieux cimetière
Mais les fenêtres froncent
Leurs corniches de bronze
Quand elles voient les ronces
Envahir leur lumière

Les fenêtres murmurent
Quand tombent en chevelure
Les pluies de la froidure
Qui mouillent les adieux
Les fenêtres chantonnent
Quand se lève à l'automne
Le vent qui abandonne
Les rues aux amoureux
Les fenêtres se taisent
Quand l'hiver les apaise
Et que la neige épaisse
Vient leur fermer les yeux
Mais les fenêtres jacassent
Quand une femme passe
Qui habite l'impasse
Où passent les Messieurs

La fenêtre est un ?uf
Quand elle est ?il-de-b?uf
Qui attend comme un veuf
Au coin d'un escalier
La fenêtre bataille
Quand elle est soupirail
D'où le soldat mitraille
Avant de succomber
Les fenêtres musardent
Quand elles sont mansardes
Et abritent les hardes
D'un poète oublié
Mais les fenêtres gentilles
Se recouvrent de grilles
Si par malheur on crie
" Vive la liberté "

Les fenêtres surveillent
L'enfant qui s'émerveille
Dans un cercle de vieilles
A faire ses premiers pas
Les fenêtres sourient
Quand quinze ans trop jolis
Ou quinze ans trop grandis
S'offrent un premier repas
Les fenêtres menacent
Les fenêtres grimacent
Quand parfois j'ai l'audace
D'appeler an chat un chat
Les fenêtres me suivent
Me suivent et me poursuivent
Jusqu'à ce que peur s'ensuive
Tout au fond de mes draps

Les fenêtres souvent
Traitent impunément
De voyous des enfants
Qui cherchent qui aimer
Les fenêtres souvent
Soupçonnent ces manants
Qui dorment sur les bancs
Et parlent l'étranger
Les fenêtres souvent
Se ferment en riant
Se ferment en criant
Quand on y va chanter
Ah je n'ose pas penser
Qu'elles servent à voiler
Plus qu'à laisser entrer
La lumière de l'été

Non je préfère penser
Qu'une fenêtre fermée
Ça ne sert qu'à aider
Les amants à s'aimer
{2x}
