Sous la torture
Derrière les murs
Les yeux remplis d'effroi
L'homme aux v?ux purs
Souffre et endure
Les coups sourds de la loi
Noyés par les bulles rouges
Ses mots muets
S'élèvent et s'écrasent sur la paroi
L'écrivain plie mais ne rompt pas
Ressent une étrange douleur dans les doigts
Délire en balbutiant qui vivra vaincra
Dans la cellule du poète
Quand le geôlier vient près de lui
Quand plus personne ne s'inquiète
L'homme que l'on croyait endormi
Frappe avec sa tête
A court d'idées
Ils t'ont coupé
Et ta langue et les doigts
Pour t'empêcher
De t'exprimer
Mais ils ne savent pas
Qu'on ne se bat pas
Contre les hommes
Qui peuvent tout surtout pour ce qu'ils croient
Et l'homme infirme retrouve sa voix
Défie le monde en descendant de sa croix
Et sort la liberté de l'anonymat
Dans la cellule du poète
Quand le geôlier vient près de lui
Quand plus personne ne s'inquiète
L'homme que l'on croyait endormi
Frappe avec sa tête
Frappe avec ta tête...

Daniel Balavoine (Parigi, 1952 – Algeri, 1986) è stato un cantautore francese di grande successo negli anni '70 e '80. Iniziò la sua carriera come musicista folk, ma presto si affermò nel panorama musicale pop francese con brani memorabili come "Le Dernier Combat", "Elle me dit" e "Je l'aime à mourir". La sua musica era caratterizzata da melodie orecchiabili, testi poetici e un forte senso di romanticismo. Balavoine fu anche un attore cinematografico e televisivo, partecipando a diversi film e serie TV francesi. La sua tragica morte in un incidente d'auto all'età di 34 anni lo ha reso una figura leggendaria nella musica francese.
