Charles Aznavour

Lyrics Et baîller et dormir Charles Aznavour

 1.783

Et baîller et dormir


Certains courent après la vie
Moi la vie me cours après
Bien des gens font des folies
Moi c'est folie de m'avoir fait
Je me fais pas de bile
Et n'occupe aucun emploi
Menant une vie facile
Je ne fais rien de mes dix doigts
Je vais pêcher dans les ruisseaux
Chasser dans les roseaux
Ou cueillir les fruits mûrs
Que m'offre la nature
On ne m'a pas mis sur terre
Pour me tuer à travailler
Mais pour vivre à ma manière
Et goûter à la liberté
Et rêver, et sourire
Et bâiller, et dormir.

Je dors à même la terre
C'est plus simple et c'est plus sain
Et si je meurs solitaire
Je n'aurais pas à aller loin
Je me lave à l'eau de pluie
Et me séchant au soleil
Je rêve à ma tendre amie
Et y a vraiment rien de pareil
Et quand presqu'à la nuit tombée
On peut se retrouver
C'est un si grand plaisir
Qu'on reste sans rien dire

En regardant la nature
On se tient tout près bien près
L'un de l'autre et je vous jure
Que l'on ne pense qu'à s'aimer
Et rêver, et sourire
Et bâiller, et dormir.

J'ai fait mon paradis sur la terre
Car la paix règne au fond de mon cœur
Et vraiment si c'était à refaire
Je saurais pour garder mon bonheur
Et rêver, et sourire
Et bâiller, et dormir

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics ET BAÎLLER ET DORMIR of CHARLES AZNAVOUR is also present in the album Jezebel (1963)
