De galères en galas
A Paris, en province
De scène d'OpéraEn spectacle de rue
De fabuleux contrats
En cachets plus que minces
Pour nous quoi qu'il en soit
Le rêve continue Ce métier, c'est le pire et c'est le meilleur
On a beau s'en défendre il nous tient et nous hante
Que l'on soit comédien, danseur ou que l'on chante
Ce métier, il fait mal comme il fait rêver
Et du "temps des cerises" à "être ou ne pas être"
Que l'on soit débutant ou déjà passé maître
Au plus haut de l'affiche, ou à peine cité Il est notre patrie et notre champ d'honneurDu vieux conservatoire ou enfant de la balle
Notre seul horizon est au fond d'une salle
Notre soleil jamais qu'un coup de projecteur Ce métier, qui tient tous nos sens en éveilD'échec retentissant en triomphale route
Qui nous gonfle d'orgueil, ou nous détruit de doute
Ce métier est le seul jardin de nos merveilles
De nuits de dépression
Après que la critique A tort ou à raison
Nous traîne dans la boue
De moment d'émotionEn instant de panique
On entre en religion
A l'heure ou tout ce joue Ce métier de crève faim de va-nu-pieds
Que ce soit à l'écran, sur scène ou bien en piste
Il faut pour le tenter être un rien utopiste
Car il fait peu d'élu pour beaucoup d'appelés Ce métier qui peut nous abolir parfois
Commandeur de Paris, ou Sir en AngleterreLes Sept d'or, les Césars les triomphes ou MolièresC'est toujours le public au fond qui les octroie Fier sous les quolibets, humble sous les bravos
Faussement protégé par le mot de CambronneÉmouvant, hilarant, en forme ou bien aphone
Mais déchiré de trac au lever de rideau Ce métier, n'est pas facile à assumer
Bâti sur le succès il rend tout vulnérable
Mais bien que sans mémoire, et bien qu'impitoyableIl reste le plus beau car c'est notre métier Il reste le plus beau, car c'est notre métier
