C'est pas seulement ma voix qui chante.
C'est l'autre voix, une foule de voix,
Voix d'aujourd'hui ou d'autrefois,
Des voix marrantes, ensoleillées,
Désespérées, émerveillées,
Voix déchirantes et brisées,
Voix souriantes et affolées,
Folles de douleur et de gaieté.
C'est la voix d'un chagrin tout neuf,
La voix de l'amour mort ou vif,
La voix d'un pauvre fugitif,
La voix d'un noyé qui fait plouf.
C'est la voix d'une enfant qu'on gifle,
C'est la voix d'un oiseau craintif,
La voix d'un moineau mort de froid
Sur le pavé d' la rue d' la joie...
Et toujours, toujours, quand je chante,
Cet oiseau-là chante avec moi.
Toujours, toujours, encore vivante,
Sa pauvre voix tremble pour moi.
Si je disais tout ce qu'il chante,
Tout c'que j'ai vu et tout c'que j'sais,
J'en dirais trop et pas assez
Et tout ça, je veux l'oublier.
D'autres voix chantent un vieux refrain.
C'est leur souvenir, c'est plus le mien.
Je n'ai plus qu'un seul cri du cœur :
"J'aime pas l'malheur ! J'aime pas l'malheur !"
Et le malheur me le rend bien
Mais je l' connais, il m' fait plus peur.
Il dit qu'on est mariés ensemble.
Même si c'est vrai, je n'en crois rien.
Sans pitié, j'écrase mes larmes.
Je leur fais pas d'publicité.
Si on tirait l'signal d'alarme
Pour des chagrins particuliers,
Jamais les trains n'pourraient rouler
Et je regarde le paysage.
Si par hasard, il est trop laid,
J'attends qu'il se refasse une beauté
Et les douaniers du désespoir
Peuvent bien éventrer mes bagages,
Me palper et me questionner,
J'ai jamais rien à déclarer.
L'amour, comme moi, part en voyage.
Un jour je le rencontrerai.
A peine j'aurai vu son visage,
Tout de suite je le reconnaîtrai...
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.
