Lyrics La dignité Francis Cabrel

La dignité


L’homme fort, tatoué sur les bras
L’homme faible à son dernier repas
L’homme seul au pied de la croix
Cherchent la dignité

L’homme sage sur le brin de paille
L’homme jeune entre deux batailles
L’homme pauvre sur le vitrail
Cherchent la dignité

Quelqu’un est mort, comment ?
On ne peut pas dire
Mais la dignité a été la première à fuir
J’ai parcouru la ville, traversé les cités
Couru tant que j’ai pu courir

J’ai cherché en moi, j’ai cherché autour
J’ai cherché la nuit et le jour,
J’ai demandé aux flics à chaque carrefour
Avez-vous vu la dignité ?

L’homme vide au bord du trottoir
L’homme entouré de mille miroirs
Tous demandent s’il n’est pas trop tard
Pour la dignité

L’homme inquiet face au médecin
L’homme qui montre toutes les lignes de la main
Chacun demande où, quand, combien
Pour la dignité ?

J’ai vu ce gars, je ne sais plus sur quelle chaîne
La dignité, depuis longtemps avait quitté la scène
Il tentait de rire, mais les rires étaient faux
Le monde applaudissait quand même

Il vendait de l’or à de condamnés
Des châteaux forts à des gens paumés
Surtout, il avait vendu en premier
Sa dignité

Ces enfants qu’on pousse vers les flammes
Toutes ces marques aux visages des femmes
La moitié du monde réclame
Plus de dignité

Y’a pas de répit, y’a pas de repos
Je suis la rivière, dans ce mauvais bateau
Pendant que tout tremble, j’essaie de lire ton mot
Sur la dignité

Quelqu’un ma montré une image et j’ai pensé
La dignité ne s’est jamais laissé photographier
Tu peux changer le monde,
Les formes et les couleurs
Cherche jusqu’au fond du désert

Y’a tellement de routes et tellement de ronces
Tellement d’ombres où l’on s’enfonce
Est-ce qu’un jour, j’aurais la réponse
Sur la dignité ?

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
