A l’âge où l’on va au collège
j’apprenais déjà le solfège
des trucs qui font rire et l’acrobatie
j’apprenais des gifles sonores
celles que les enfants adorent
qui nous font que gagner mieux notre vie
je ne rêvais qu’être un artiste pour être heureux
mais j’ai perdu mes joies en piste
car depuis peu, je n’entends rien des applaudissements
je n’entends rien du rire des enfants
car apprendre des tas de claques
qui font le succès au spectacle
j’ai fini un jour par y laisser mes tympans
je n’entends rien dans le cirque bondé
je n’entends rien des cris émerveillés
les gosses qui sont à la fête
en voyant ma drôle de tête
lorsque l’air ahuri je fais mon entrée
quand mon partenaire dit ses répliques
si je réponds en temps et heure
en soit le miracle s’explique (2x)
je fais mon numéro par cœur
je n’entends rien pour placer mes effets
je n’entends rien et pourtant je le fais
et si j’ai l’œil un peu humide
lorsque je salue dans le vide
c’est que je n’entends jamais rien de mon succès
pourtant, pour des raisons que j’ignore
dans ma tête insonore
une image muette a fais son entrée
moi qui étais seul au monde
je compris à cette seconde
que ma vie venait de se transformer
elle dit ce qu’elle veut dire
très lentement
sur ses lèvres j’apprends à lire
mais cependant
je n’entends rien mais j’appelle au bonheur
je n’entends rien je sens parler son cœur
et lorsque doublement fier
je cherche les mots sur ses lèvres
inquiet qu’ils ne soient pas vraiment les mots
que j’entends
je n’entends rien, j’imagine sa voix
je n’entends rien et parfois malgré moi
je mets les mains sur ses oreilles
pour le priver de ces merveilles
tous les bruits de la vie que je ne perçois pas
un amour en moi serait sise
plus que cet espoir insensé
que le miracle se produise (2x)
pour que comme au temps du passé
je puisse entendre un jour les applaudissements
les mots d’amour, le rire des enfants
m’ouvrant les portes de la chance
me tirant hors de mon silence
qui font peur aux artistes
et troublent les amants
et au niveau de mon inquiétude
me sortant de ma solitude
me délivre du monde des non-entendant
je n’entends rien (2x)
rien (2x)
