Paroles et musique : Yves Duteil
1C'est une langue belle avec des mots superbes
Qui porte son histoire travers ses accents
O l'on sent la musique et la parfum des herbes
Le fromage de chvre et le pain de froment
Et du Mont Saint-Michel jusqu' la Contrescarpe
En coutant parler les gens de ce pays
On dirait que le vent s'est pris dans une harpe
Et qu'il en a gard toutes les harmonies
2Dans cette langue belle aux couleurs de Provence
O la saveur des choses est dj dans les mots
C'est d'abord en parlant que la fte commence
Et l'on boit des paroles aussi bien que de l'eau
Les voix ressemblent aux cours des fleuves et des rivires
Elles rpondent aux mandres, au vent dans les roseaux
Parfois mme aux torrents qui charrient du tonnerre
En polissant les pierres sur le bord des ruisseaux
3C'est une langue belle l'autre bout du monde
Une bulle de France au nord d'un continent
Sertie dans un tau mais pourtant si fconde
Enferme dans les glaces au sommet d'un volcan
Elle a jet des ponts par-dessus l'Atlantique
Elle a quitt son nid pour un autre terroir
Et comme un hirondelle au printemps des musiques
Elle revient nous chanter ses peines et ses espoirs
4Nous dire que l-bas dans ce pays de neige
Elle a fait face aux vents qui soufflent de partout
Pour imposer ses mots jusque dans les collges
Et qu'on y parle encore la langue de chez nous
C'est une langue belle qui sait la dfendre
Elle offre les trsors de richesses infinies
Les mots qui nous manquaient pour pouvoir nous comprendre
Et la force qu'il faut pour vivre en harmonie
5Et de l'le d'Orlans jusqu' la Contrescarpe
En coutant chanter les gens de ce pays
On dirait que le vent s'est pris dans une harpe
Et qu'il a compos toute une symphonie
Et de l'le d'Orlans jusqu' la Contrescarpe
En coutant chanter les gens de ce pays
On dirait que le vent s'est pris dans une harpe
Et qu'il a compos toute une symphonie
