Citadin


Je ne connais pas le nom des fleurs, et ça m'attriste
Celui des arbres guère plus d'ailleurs
Je peux n'en faire qu’une courte liste
Je ne connais pas ces noms latins
Qu'on donne aux plantes
Celles qui ne s’ouvrent qu'au matin
Celles que le soleil oriente

Lacunes presque anodines
Connaissances superflues
Pour qui comme moi, très peu jardine
N'escalade plus
Les branches jusqu'au cimes
Et fait peu de bouquets
Mange peu de fruits acides
Cueilli sur les bosquets

Citadin, j’ai un trou de mémoire anodin
Avec mon arrosoir dans les mains
À qui je donne à boire, j'en sais rien

Je ne sais pas nommer les oiseaux, ça me chagrine
Les longues pattes dans les roseauxLes démarches de ballerine
À la manière dont ils volent
Savoir s'ils migrent
Savoir s'ils chassent ou batifoles
À la manière dont leurs ailes vibrent

Lacunes presque anodines
Connaissances superflues
Pour qui perd son âme féline
Et se met peu à l’affut
N'exerce plus son oreille
À distinguer les cris
De ceux qui nous réveillent
Au petit matin gris

Citadin, j'ai un trou de mémoire anodin
En apportant au square mes bouts de pain
En faisant une mangeoire, de mes mains

Citadin, j'ai un trou de mémoire anodin
Un oubli dérisoire mais enfin
Ça touche au désespoir

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
