J'aime la foire où pour trois sous
L'on peut se faire tourner la tête
Sur les manèges aux chevaux roux
Au son d'une musique bête
Les lampions jettent au firmament
Alignés en nombre pair
Comme des sourcils de géant
Leurs crachats de lumière
Les moulins tournent, tournent sans trêve
Emportant tout notre argent
Et nous donnant un peu de rêve
Pour que les hommes soient contents
Ça sent la graisse où dansent les frites
Ça sent les frites dans les papiers
Ça sent les beignets qu'on mange vite
Ça sent les hommes qui les ont mangés
Partout je vois à petits pas
Des couples qui s'en vont danser
Mais moi sûrement je n'irai pas
Grand-mère m'a dit de me méfier
Et lorsque l'on n'a plus de sous
Pour se faire tourner la tête
Sur les manèges aux chevaux roux
Au son d'une musique bête
On rentre chez soi lentement
Et tout en regardant les cieux
On se demande simplement
S'il n'existe rien de mieux
J'aimais la foire où pour trois sous
L'on pouvait se faire tourner la tête
Sur les manèges aux chevaux roux
Au son d'une musique bête
Il nous faut regarder
Derrière la saleté
S'étalant devant nous
Derrière les yeux plissés
Et les visages mous
Au-delà de ces mains
Ouvertes ou fermées
Qui se tendent en vain
Ou qui sont poings levés
Plus loin que les frontières
Qui sont de barbelés
Plus loin que la misère
Il nous faut regarder
Il nous faut regarder
Ce qu'il y a de beau
Le ciel gris ou bleuté
Les filles au bord de l'eau
L'ami qu'on sait fidèle
Le soleil de demain
Le vol d'une hirondelle
Le bateau qui revient
Par-delà le concert
Des sanglots et des pleurs
Et des cris de colère
Des hommes qui ont peur
Par-delà le vacarme
Des rues et des chantiers
Des sirènes d'alarme
Des jurons de charretier
Plus forts que les enfants
Qui racontent les guerres
Et plus forts que les grands
Qui nous les ont fait faire
Il nous faut écouter
L'oiseau au fond des bois
Le murmure de l'été
Le sang qui monte en soi
Les berceuses des mères
Les prières des enfants
Et le bruit de la terre
Qui s'endort doucement
Jacques Romain Georges Brel (Schaerbeek, April 8, 1929 – Los Angeles, October 9, 1978) was a Belgian singer-songwriter, composer, actor, and poet who wrote in French.
