Quand on naît comme un pauv' gosse
Sur un tas de cailloux
On a les idées précoces
Et comme les voyous
Toi, tu passais devant l'école
La fleur à la main
D'Attila, moi, je m'en colle !
Je reviendrai demain
Mais il y a eu des demains
A n'en plus finir
Tu fréquentas les chemins
Où fleurit le plaisir
A seize ans, tu cueilles une rose
Déjà bien fanée
Tu apprends toutes les choses
De l'amour damné
Dis-moi, Frédo la nature,
Qu'as-tu fait de ta vie ?
C'est l'heure de payer la facture
On ne fait pas de crédit
De l'amour, ton seul domaine,
Tu deviens l'expert
Mais tu n'avais qu'une rengaine
"Je veux me mettre au vert"
Jardinier, oui, pendant que ces dames
En toutes saisons
Arpentaient le macadam
Tu coupais le gazon
Mais il a fallu qu'un pote
Sans ta permission
Vienne un jour fourrer ses bottes
Dans tes plantations
D'un coup de sécateur rapide
Tu lui as coupé
Un p'tit morceau de carotide
C'était régulier
Dis-moi, Frédo la nature,
Qu'as-tu fait de ta vie ?
C'est l'heure de payer la facture
On ne fait plus de crédit
Assez joué, mon p'tit bonhomme,
Réglons l'addition
Un coup de parabellum
Voilà ta ration
T'auras droit à toute la clique
Des cérémonies
Des couronnes et de la musique
Et tous les amis
En écoutant l'harmonium
Penseront souvent
A toi sous les géraniums
tu les aimais tant
Tu nous quittes sans manières
Et ces dames en pleurs
Feront graver sur la pierre
Au milieu des fleurs :
Frédo aimait la nature
le voilà servi
Couché parmi la verdure
il finit sa vie
Jean Ferrat, born Jean Tenenbaum (1930-2010), was one of the most beloved and influential French singer-songwriters of the 20th century.
