J'habite un coin du vieux Montmartre
Mon père rentre soûl tous les soirs
Et pour nous nourrir tous les quatre
Ma pauvr' mére travaille au lavoir.
Moi j'suis malade, j'rêve à ma fenêtre
Je r'garde passer les gens d'ailleurs
Quand le jour vient à disparaître
Il y a des choses qui me font un peu peur
Dans ma rue il y a des gens qui s' promènent
J'les entends chuchoter dans la nuit
Quand je m'endors bercée par une rengaine
J'suis soudain réveillée par des cris
Des coups d'sifflet, des pas qui traînent, qui vont et viennent
Puis le silence qui me fait froid dans tout le coeur
Dans ma rue il y a des ombres qui s' promènent
Et je tremble et j'ai froid et j'ai peur
Mon père m'a dit un jour : "la fille,
Tu ne vas pas rester là sans fin
T'es bonn' à rien, ça c'est d'famille
Faudrait voir à gagner ton pain
Les hommes te trouvent plutôt jolie
Tu n'auras qu'à sortir le soir
Il y'a bien des femmes qui gagnent leur vie
En "s' balladant sur le trottoir"
Dans ma rue il y a des femmes qui s' promènent
J'les entends fredonner dans la nuit
Quand je m'endors bercée par une rengaine
J'suis soudain réveillée par des cris
Des coups d'sifflet, des pas qui traînent, qui vont et viennent
Puis le silence qui me fait froid dans tout le coeur
Dans ma rue il y a des femmes qui s' promènent
Et je tremble et j'ai froid et j'ai peur
Et depuis des semaines et des semaines
J'ai plus d' maison, j'ai plus d'argent
J' sais pas comment les autres s'y prennent
Mais j'ai pas pu trouver d' client
J'demande l'aumône aux gens qui passent
Un morceau d' pain, un peu d' chaleur
J'ai pourtant pas beaucoup d'audace
Maintenant c'est moi qui leur fait peur
Dans ma rue tous les soirs je m' promène
On m'entend sangloter dans la nuit
Quand le vent jette au ciel sa rengaine
Tout mon corps est glacé par la pluie
Mais je n' peux plus, j'attends sans cesse que le bon Dieu vienne
Pour m'inviter à me réchauffer tout près de Lui
Dans ma rue il y a des anges qui m'emmènent
Pour toujours mon cauchemar est fini
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.
