Charles Aznavour

Lyrics J'ai appris alors Charles Aznavour

J'ai appris alors


Je n'ai jamais connu mon père
On dit que ma mère non plus
Aussi j'ai grandi sans manière
Sans que personne ne m'ait reconnu
Enfant je fauchais aux étalages
Ce que ma mère ne pouvait m'acheter
Il faut bien manger à tout âge
J'ai appris alors à tricher

A quinze ans au marché au puces
J'ai reçu un grand choc au coeur
Une fille qu'avait seize ans au plus
Et balancée comme le bonheur
Je la guettais au coin de la rue
Rien que pour la regarder passer
Elle avait une mine ingénue
J'ai appris alors à rêver

Un jour fatigué de la suivre
Je lui ai parlé simplement
En ce cas-là ce qui arrive
Est arrivé évidemment
On s'est fait des milliers de promesses
Se jurant de toujours s'aimer
Et quand j'ai cueilli sa jeunesse
J'ai appris alors à chanter

Mais elle est partie sans rien dire
Un matin je ne sais pourquoi
Je suis resté là à sourire
Dieu que l'on est bête parfois
Jour après jour, heure après heure
J'ai appris ce qu'était pleurer
Et comme son souvenir demeure
Faut que j'apprenne à oublier

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics J'AI APPRIS ALORS of CHARLES AZNAVOUR is also present in the album Bravo du music hall (1959)
