Giovanni


Giovanni, qu'as-tu vu aujourd'hui ?
Giovanni, qu'as-tu vu, mon petit ?
"J'ai vu près des rochers une dame si jolie
Que tout d'abord j'ai cru rêver."
Giovanni, était-elle dévêtue ?
"En manteau de dentelle, presque nue.
Ses yeux étaient plus doux que le ciel d'Italie.
Elle m'a fait signe de m'approcher."
Que s'est-il passé entre vous ?
Que s'est-il passé, dis-le-nous ?
Giovanni, ne mens pas. Dis-nous la vérité.
"Nous avons bavardé puis nous avons chanté."
Giovanni, l'as-tu prise dans tes bras ?
S'est-elle sentie conquise, mon p'tit gars ?
"Oui. Nos deux cœurs battaient, battaient à la folie.
Jamais je n'avais aimé comme ça !"
Ne croyez pas à cette histoire.
Giovanni est un inventif
Qui s'amuse comme ça à faire croire
Des rêves insensés à des marins naïfs.
Le soir venu quand tout repose,
Il a son cercle d'auditeurs.
Giovanni dit d'étranges choses
A ses copains marins, pêcheurs.

Le temps qui passe pourtant l'a changé.
Giovanni a vingt ans, l'cœur léger.
Un jour qu'il flâne un peu au fil du bleu rivage,
Il voit soudain, dans la clarté,
Une femme aux yeux de ciel éblouis,
Une femme si nue, si belle, tout près d'lui,
Qui lui murmure tout bas :
"J'attendais ton bel âge
Pour d'venir ta réalité..."
Que s'est-il passé ce jour-là ?
Que s'est-il passé je n'sais pas,
Mais il est bon tout d'même
De dire enfin je t'aime,
Sans mentir désormais aux autres et à soi-même.
"Giovanni, qu'as-tu vu tout à l'heure",
D'mandaient le soir marins et pêcheurs
Mais lui, ne songeant plus à la belle du rivage,
Répond : "Amis, ce jour fut perdu.
Aucun visage d'amour n'est venu.
La plage était déserte, j'n'ai rien vu,
Rien vu..."
Giovanni... Giovanni...

Biografia

Charles Trenet (Louis Charles Auguste Claude Trenet), born May 18, 1913, in Narbonne and died February 19, 2001, in Créteil, was a highly successful French singer-songwriter. His career began in the 1930s and reached its peak between the late 1930s and the mid-1950s, although it continued until the 1990s. Trenet distinguished himself by writing most of his songs, refusing to record songs composed by other artists during a period when it was rare for singers to write their own material. Among his most famous successes are "La Mer", "Boum!" and "Y'a d'la joie". Trenet helped define the sound of French chanson, influencing generations of artists.
