Ell' fréquentait la rue Pigalle.
Ell' sentait l'vice à bon marché.
Elle était tout' noire de péchés
Avec un pauvr' visage tout pâle.
Pourtant, y avait dans l'fond d'ses yeux
Comm' quequ' chos' de miraculeux
Qui semblait mettre un peu d'ciel bleu
Dans celui tout sale de Pigalle.
Il lui avait dit : "Vous êt's belle."
Et d'habitud', dans c'quartier-là,
On dit jamais les chos's comm' ça
Aux fill's qui font l'mêm' métier qu'elle
Et comme ell' voulait s'confesser,
Il la couvrait tout' de baisers,
En lui disant : "Laiss' ton passé,
Moi, j'vois qu'un' chos', c'est qu' tu es belle."
Y a des imag's qui vous tracassent
Et, quand ell' sortait avec lui,
Depuis Barbès jusqu'à Clichy
Son passé lui f'sait la grimace
Et sur les trottoirs plein d'souv'nirs,
Ell' voyait son amour s'flétrir,
Alors, ell' lui d'manda d'partir,
Et il l'emm'na vers Montparnasse.
Ell' croyait r'commencer sa vie,
Mais c'est lui qui s'mit à changer.
Il la r'gardait tout étonné,
Disant : "J'te croyais plus jolie,
Ici, le jour t'éclair' de trop,
On voit tes vic's à fleur de peau.
Vaudrait p't'êtr' mieux qu' tu r'tourn's là-haut
Et qu'on reprenn' chacun sa vie."
Elle est r'tourné' dans son Pigalle.
Y a plus personn' pour la r'pêcher.
Elle a r'trouvée tous ses péchés,
Ses coins d'ombre et ses trottoirs sales
Mais quand ell' voit des amoureux
Qui r'mont'nt la rue d'un air joyeux,
Y a des larm's dans ses grands yeux bleus
Qui coul'nt le long d'ses jou's tout's pâles
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.
