La montagne


Ils quittent un un le pays
Pour s'en aller gagner leur vie
Loin de la terre o ils sont ns
Depuis longtemps ils en revaient
De la ville et de ses secrets
Du formica et du cin
Les vieux ca n'tait pas original
Quand ils s'essuyaient machinal
D'un revers de manche les lvres
Mais ils savaient tous propos
Tuer la caille ou le perdreau
Et manger la tomme de chvre
Pourtant que la montagne est belle
Comment peut-on s'imaginer
En voyant un vol d'hirondelles
Que l'automne vient d'arriver ?
Avec leurs mains dessus leurs tetes
Ils avaient mont des murettes
Jusqu'au sommet de la colline
Qu'importent les jours les annes
Ils avaient tous l'me bien ne
Noueuse comme un pied de vigne
Les vignes elles courent dans la foret
Le vin ne sera plus tir
C'tait une horrible piquette
Mais il faisait des centenaires
A ne plus savoir qu'en faire
S'il ne vous tournait pas la tete
Pourtant que la montagne est belle
Comment peut-on s'imaginer
En voyant un vol d'hirondelles
Que l'automne vient d'arriver ?
Deux chvres et puis quelques moutons
Une anne bonne et l'autre non
Et sans vacances et sans sorties
Les filles veulent aller au bal
Il n'y a rien de plus normal
Que de vouloir vivre sa vie
Leur vie ils seront flics ou fonctionnaires
De quoi attendre sans s'en faire
Que l'heure de la retraite sonne
Il faut savoir ce que l'on aime
Et rentrer dans son H.L.M.
Manger du poulet aux hormones
Pourtant que la montagne est belle
Comment peut-on s'imaginer
En voyant un vol d'hirondelles
Que l'automne vient d'arriver ?
