Lettre a mon père


Je te cherchais depuis longtemps
Tu m'as laissé en t'en allant
Mon grand paquet de mots d'amour
Et ce silence encore si lourd

Le souvenir de ces chimères
Que tu fuyais pendant la guerre
Les bateaux les trains les camions
Les quais de gare et les wagons

La frayeur de ces années noires
Je la lisais dans ton regard
Avec l'horreur le désespoir
Et le Travail Obligatoire

Peut-être un jour si tu m'attends
On parlera de tout ce temps
Qu'on a perdu sans rien se dire
A ne pas savoir se sourire

Quand je sentais venir la fin
Je me revois tenir ta main
Et te parler pendant des heures
En regardant battre ton coeur

A ta façon tu nous aimais
Mais tous les mots qu'on attendait
Restaient enfouis bien trop profond
En souffrance dans leur prison

De là-haut si tu nous entends
Reviens vers nous de temps en temps
As-tu enfin trouvé la paix
Et le repos là où tu es?

J'avais tout juste cinquante ans
Tu m'as légué en t'en allant
Ce regard triste et douloureux
Un portrait d'enfant malheureux
Qui n'a pas pu trouver sa place
Enfermé dans sa carapace
Et sur qui les fées ni les Dieux
N'ont jamais dû poser les yeux

Après avoir tant bien que mal
Grandi à l'ombre d'une étoile
Sans pour autant trouver le Nord
Il t'a fallu partir encore

Marcher de nuit à travers champs
Mais dans tes lettres avec le temps
De ces souffrances et de ces peurs
Il ne reste que le meilleur

A ta façon tu nous aimais
Mais tous les mots qu'on attendait
Restaient enfouis bien trop profond
En souffrance dans leur prison

De là-haut si tu nous entends
Reviens vers nous de temps en temps
As-tu enfin trouvé la paix
Et le repos là où tu es?

Toi mon père que j'aimais tant
Je te cherchais depuis longtemps
Mais tu voyages désormais
Près de moi, bien plus que jamais

Repose en paix dans nos mémoires
Le plus tendre de notre histoire
Ce sont les mots qu'on n 'a pas dits,
C'est à toi que je les dédie.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
