C'était un homm' sans condition,
Un typ' qu'avait pas d'ambition,
Pourtant, Bon Dieu ! qu'il était fort.
Il n'avait pas d'situation
Et il travaillait au charbon
Dans les villes noires du Nord.
On l'avait app'lé : "Coup d'grisou"
Un jour qu'il était en colère
Et qu'il avait mis sens d'ssus d'ssous
Tout un bistro avec les verres.
A forc' de peiner dans le noir,
Il n'aimait qu'la couleur du soir.
Le soleil lui brûlait les yeux.
Le grand jour l'empêchait d'parler.
C'était un dieu d'l'obscurité,
Un dieu bien triste et malheureux,
Un dieu bien triste et malheureux
Car il aimait par-dessus tout
Un' fill' des plain's aux cheveux roux,
Roux comm' les sarments des vignes,
Des cheveux où la lumièr' pleut.
Ça l'forçait à cligner des yeux
Comm' si l'soleil lui faisait sign'.
Ell' l'emmenait dans les moissons
Par les frais chemins du dimanche.
Tout était clair, tout était blond
Et la clarté prenait sa r'vanche.
Ça lui f'sait mal derrièr' le front
Mais il faisait des concessions.
Dame, il essayait d'être heureux.
C'est comm' ça qu'on perd un amour.
Ell' l'a trompé par un beau jour
Avec un qui aimait l'ciel bleu,
Avec un qui aimait l'ciel bleu.
Quand "Coup d'grisou" a tout appris,
Il travaillait au fond du puits
Tout luisant de reflets tout noirs
Pendant dix s'cond's il n'a rien dit
Et puis d'un seul coup ça l'a pris.
Ah ! c'était pas joli à voir,
Rien qu'à l'entendre on s'demandait
Si l'diable n'était pas sous terre.
Probabl' que ça lui ressemblait
Puisqu'il a tout foutu par terre.
Quand l'vrai grisou s'en est mêlé,
A eux deux, ils ont fait sauter
La terre, la mine et tout l'fourbi !
Après trois jours on l'a r'monté
Avec sa part d'éternité
Et quand on l'a sorti du puits,
La lumièr' se moquait de lui.
Le soleil donnait un gala
Pour l'embêter un' dernièr' fois
Mais Coup d'grisou était guéri :
Il avait épousé la nuit...
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.
