Ils étaient usés à quinze ans
Ils finissaient en débutant
Les douze mois s'appelaient décembre
Quelle vie ont eu nos grand-parents
Entre l'absinthe et les grand-messes
Ils étaient vieux avant que d'êtreQuinze heures par jour le corps en laisse
Laissent au visage un teint de cendres
Oui notre Monsieur, oui notre bon Maître Pourquoi ont-ils tué Jaurès ?Pourquoi ont-ils tué Jaurès ? On ne peut pas dire qu'ils furent esclaves
De là à dire qu'ils ont vécu
Lorsque l'on part aussi vaincuC'est dur de sortir de l'enclaveEt pourtant l'espoir fleurissait
Dans les rêves qui montaient aux cieux
Des quelques ceux qui refusaient
De ramper jusqu'à la vieillesse
Oui notre bon Maître, oui notre Monsieur Pourquoi ont-ils tué Jaurès ?Pourquoi ont-ils tué Jaurès ? Si par malheur ils survivaientC'était pour partir à la guerreC'était pour finir à la guerre
Aux ordres de quelque sabreur
Qui exigeait du bout des lèvresQu'ils aillent ouvrir au champ d'horreurLeurs vingt ans qui n'avaient pu naître
Et ils mouraient à pleine peur
Tout miséreux oui notre bon MaîtreCouverts de prèles oui notre MonsieurDemandez-vous belle jeunesse
Le temps de l'ombre d'un souvenir
Le temps de souffle d'un soupir Pourquoi ont-ils tué Jaurès ?Pourquoi ont-ils tué Jaurès ?

Jacques Romain Georges Brel (Schaerbeek, 8 aprile 1929 – Los Angeles, 9 ottobre 1978) è stato un cantautore, compositore, attore e poeta belga di lingua francese.
