La complainte de l'oiseau


Me sachant vif et habile
Je voulais voler haut
Mais les temps sont difficiles
Quand on est un oiseau

Fallait-il que je me hasarde un jour à voler si haut
À voler sans prendre garde vers des horizons nouveaux
Me foncèrent droit sur la gueule nuées de noirs corbeaux
Ne restait qu'à déguerpir presto
Oh miracle ce nuage je m'y fondis aussitôt
Il me permit sans péage d'échapper à leurs ergots
Ils voulaient tout du fromage qu'est le ciel blu azzuro
Mieux vallait s'écarter illico

Me sachant vif et habile
Je voulais voler haut
Mais les temps sont difficiles
Quand on est un oiseau

Lors chassé des hautes sphères
Je descendis aussitôt
Le plus bas qu'on puisse faire
Je me fondis au troupeau
Je chantai pour le séduire
De mon chant le plus beau
Que n'avais-je fait oh Dio Mio
Oh ma compagne ma fière ce qu'il fallut de culot
Pour affronter ces outrages pour survivre à ce chaos
Tant prédateurs s'en mêlèrent ne nous laissant de repos
Qu'il fallut redéguerpir presto

Ayant la note facile
Je voulais chanter haut
Mais les temps sont difficiles
Quand on est un oiseau

Où donc trouver le refuge
Loin des claques et des marigots
Pour échapper au déluge
Anonyme incognito
Pour juste y planquer nos rêves
Nos espoirs d'Espéranto
Cantar y cantaré sforzando
Ce monde est quasi sauvage
Il faut savoir assez tôt
Trouver le juste passage
Et s'y tenir col canto
Bien placé dans les ombrages
Ni trop basso, ni trop haut
Et chanter piano, pianissimo

Me sachant vif et habile
Je voulais voler haut
Mais les temps sont difficiles
Quand on est un oiseau

Ayant la note facile
Je voulais chanter haut
Mais les temps sont difficiles
Quand on est un oiseau

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
