1. C'est près d'une gouttière à matous
Dans une mansarde de n'importe où
A Montparnasse
Que j'suis venue au monde sur les toits
Et que j'ai pour la première fois
Ouvert les chasses
Mes pères et mères déchards comme tout
Qui de plus n'aimaient pas beaucoup
Sucer d'la glace
A l'heure des repas dans notre garno
M'laissaient souvent sans un mélo
Le bec ouvert
Comme un moineau !
2. A l'âge où tous les autres marmots
A l'école vont s'meubler l'cerveau
De bonne grammaire
Avec un tas d'mauvais loupiots
Dans les coins on allait jouer au
Père et à la mère
Bien sûr ces petit jeux innocents
Ne développent pas précisément
Les bonnes manières
A quinze ans, droite sur mes ergots
J'allumais tous les gigolos
L'?il effronté
Comme un moineau !
3. L'premier qu'a voulu ma vertu
Pour me posséder n'a pas eu
A faire de siège
Il n'a eu qu'à m'ouvrir les bras
Et mon amour est tombé là
Comme dans un piège
Si j'avais l'esprit perverti
Mon cœur, au contraire, était lui
Pur comme la neige
Nous éveillant sous les bécots
Nous allions à tous les échos
Chanter l'amour
Comme deux moineaux !
4. Il me plaqua, a-t-il eu tort ?
Je me suis consolée d'un sort
Qui est le nôtre
Avec un p'tit gars dessalé,
Mais qui, pour ne pas travailler,
M'vendit à d'autres
On s'accoutume à ne plus voir
La poussière grise du trottoir
Où l'on se vautre
Chaque soir sur l'pavé parigot
On cherche son pain dans le ruisseau
Le cœur joyeux
Comme des moineaux !
5. L'hiver viendra et mon seul bien
Ce pauvre corps qui, je l'sens bien
Déjà se lasse
Tombera sur le pavé brutal
J'passerai sur un lit d'hôpital
Un soir d'angoisse
Pas plus mauvaise que beaucoup
J'aurais préféré malgré tout,
Au lieu d'un poisse
Un homme qui m'eût aimée d'amour
Pour avec lui finir mes jours
Dans un nid chaud
Comme un moineau !
Édith Piaf, born Édith Giovanna Gassion (Paris, December 19, 1915 – Grasse, October 11, 1963), was a French singer of international fame. Known as "La Môme Piaf" or "The Little Sparrow", she dominated the French music scene between the 1930s and 1960s. Born in a poor district of Paris, her childhood was marked by poverty and the loss of her father. She began singing on the streets at the age of seven, earning the nickname "Little Sparrow" (piaf in French). Her powerful and versatile voice, capable of transitioning from harsh tones to sweet melodies, made her one of France's most beloved artists. Piaf became a symbol of resistance and rebellion against social injustices, anticipating the intellectual movement of the rive gauche with songs that reflected the anguish and despair of the time. Among her most famous songs are "La Vie en Rose", "Non, Rien de Rien", "Hymne à l'Amour" and "Milord". Her life was marked by personal tragedies, including car accidents, illnesses, and a suicide attempt. Despite the difficulties, Piaf continued to sing until the end, leaving an unforgettable musical legacy.
