La guerre à vingt ans


Si j'étais parti en guerre à vingt ans
Si j'étais parti en guerre
Je n'aurai pas de fleur entre les dents
J'aurai un cimetière fait de marbre blanc
Si j'étais parti en guerre au printemps
Si j'étais parti en guerre
Je suivrai déjà mon enterrement
J'aurai déjà mon nom sur le marbre blanc

On aime pas voir mourir les enfants
Mais les moribonds n'ont pas d'âge
Car on croit encore aux guerres à vingt ans
Car on croit encore aux guerres
On a volé le calvaire aux enfants
Les vieux sont enterrés
Sous le marbre blanc

Si j'étais parti en guerre à vingt ans
Si j'étais parti en guerre
J'aurai perdu ma jeunesse et mon temps
Les fleurs ne vivent plus
sous le marbre blanc

Car l'amour nous fait la guerre au printemps
Car l'amour nous fait la guerre
Les fleurs de lys qu'on avait à vingt ans
Se fanent au coin du feu près du marbre blanc

Je ne sais pas pourquoi les enterrements
Me font penser au mariage
Il y a plusieurs manières à vingt ans
De perdre ou de gagner sa guerre
Les morts vivants j'en connais tant et tant
S'éteignent le coeur sous le voile blanc

Mais je n'ai pas fait la guerre à vingt ans
Non je n'ai pas fait la guerre
J'ai tenu tête à mes rêves d'enfants
J'allais ceuillir des fleurs
Sur le marbre blanc

Au coeur du grand cimetière du vent
Rempli de mort étrangère
De temps en temps comme le marbre blanc
Je cherche mes vingt ans (ad lib)

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
