Quatre cents enfants noirs
Dans un journal du soir
Et leur pauvre sourire
Ces quatre cents visages
A la première page
M'empêchent de dormir
Toi, tu dors près de moi
Heureuse, et je le sais
Tu dors comme autrefois
Moi aussi je dormais
Si la nuit est venue
Pourtant Paris n'est plus
Qu'un effrayant silence
J'attends que le jour vienne
J'attends que l'on éteigne
J'attends qu'un oiseau chante
Qu'un oiseau chante
Quatre cents enfants noirs
Sans manger et sans boire
Avec leurs grands yeux tristes
Ces quatre cents prières
Dans un hebdomadaire
Rappellent qu'ils existent
Toi, tu dors malgré tout
De ton sommeil heureux
Tu dors et tout à coup
Je suis seul avec eux
Le soleil s'est levé
L'arroseur est passé
A Paris c'est dimanche
Ceux qui veillaient s'endorment
Ceux qui dormaient s'étonnent
Quelque part rien ne change
Rien ne change, rien ne change
Jean Ferrat, nato Jean Tenenbaum (1930-2010), è stato uno dei cantautori francesi più amati e influenti del XX secolo. Nato a Lione da una famiglia ebrea, la sua musica ha sempre riflettuto un profondo impegno sociale e politico. Dopo aver iniziato come musicista di jazz, Ferrat si è dedicato alla canzone d'autore negli anni '60, trovando successo con brani come "La Montagne" e "Auprès de mon arbre". La sua voce calda e potente, accompagnata da testi poetici e riflessivi, hanno conquistato il pubblico francese. Ferrat ha affrontato temi come la guerra, la povertà, l'amore e la libertà, diventando un simbolo di resistenza e speranza per molti. Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo "L'Homme à la guitare" (1965) e "Le Chant du monde" (1970). La sua musica continua ad essere apprezzata e ascoltata in Francia e nel mondo.
