Y avait des gars qui marchaient
Y avait des gars qui chantaient
On n'savait pas où ils allaient
On n'savait pas ce qu'ils chantaient
Mais la cadence de leur pas
Mêlée au rythme des voix
Ca vous flanquait à tour de bras
Un fameux coup dans l'estomac
On n'osait pas s'en mêler
On les r'gardait défiler
Bon sang d'bonsoir que c'était beau
Tous ces hommes sans un drapeau
Salut mon gars, salut, viens
Dis-nous un peu d'où tu viens
Je viens de là où j'ai souffert
Et je m'en vais juste à l'envers
Alors mon gars, dis, allons-y
On a souffert nous aussi
Et si tu veux, on ira voir
Ce que la vie cache dans ses tiroirs
Et tous les gars qui marchaient
Avec tous ceux qui suivaient
Chanson derrière, chanson devant
Ca bourdonnait comme un torrent
Ils ont crevé l'horizon
Pour y planter leur chanson
Ont abattu tous les vieux murs
Et dit "bon Dieu, que l'air est pur"
Profitons-en, tous les copains
On va bâtir à sa place
Vous d'bout les hommes auront le droit
De vivre en paix si ça leur va
Et tous les hommes en cohue
Et en venant ils ont vu
Le ciel du feu qui s'éclairait
Pendant que tous ces gars chantaient
Édith Piaf, pseudonimo di Édith Giovanna Gassion (Parigi, 19 dicembre 1915 ? Grasse, 11 ottobre 1963), è stata una cantante francese. È stata una grande interprete del filone realista (chanteuse réaliste). Nota anche come "Passerotto", come veniva amorevolmente chiamata (passerotto infatti nell'argot francese si dice piaf), ha deliziato le folle tra gli anni trenta e sessanta. Ma già ai suoi primi sette anni ha realizzato il suo primo passo verso la musica cantando per suo padre in strada, per qualche spicciolo, la folla la gradì... La sua voce, caratterizzata da mille sfumature, era in grado di passare improvvisamente da toni aspri e aggressivi a toni dolcissimi; inoltre sapeva far percepire in modo unico la gioia con il suono della sua voce. È la cantante che con le sue canzoni ha anticipato il senso di ribellione tipico dell'inquietudine che contraddistinse diversi intellettuali della rive gauche del tempo come: Juliette Greco, Roger Vadim, Boris Vian, Albert Camus ecc. In molti casi era lei stessa l'autrice dei testi delle canzoni che tanto magistralmente interpretava. La vita di Édith Piaf fu sfortunata e costellata da una miriade di fatti negativi: incidenti stradali, coma epatici, interventi chirurgici, delirium tremens e anche un tentativo di suicidio. In una delle sue ultime apparizioni pubbliche la si ricorda piccola e ricurva, con le mani deformate dall'artrite, e con radi capelli; solo la sua voce era inalterata e splendida come sempre. Porta il suo nome un asteroide della fascia principale, scoperto nel 1982: 3772 Piaf. È ricordata anche per un verso di una sua celebre canzone: « Non, rien de rien / Non, je ne regrette rien / Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait, ni le mal / Tout ça m'est bien égal »
