Si je chante sous ta fenêtre,
Ainsi qu'un galant troubadour
Et si je veux t'y voir paraître,
Ce n'est pas, hélas, par amour.
Que m'importe que tu sois belle,
Duchesse, ou lorette aux yeux doux
Ou que tu laves la vaisselle,
Pourvu que tu jettes deux sous.
Sois bonne, ô ma chère inconnue
Pour qui j'ai si souvent chanté.
Ton offrande est la bienvenue.
Fais-moi la charité.
Sois bonne, ô ma chère inconnue
Pour qui j'ai si souvent chanté.
Devant moi, devant moi, sois la bienvenue.
L'amour, vois-tu, moi, je m'en fiche.
Ce n'est beau que dans les chansons.
Si quelque jour, je deviens riche,
On m'aimera bien sans façons.
J'aurais vite une châtelaine
Si j'avais au moins un château
Au lieu d'un vieux tricot de laine
Et des bottines prenant l'eau.
Sois bonne, ô ma chère inconnue
Pour qui j'ai si souvent chanté.
Ton offrande est la bienvenue.
Fais-moi la charité.
Sois bonne, ô ma chère inconnue
Pour qui j'ai si souvent chanté.
Devant moi, devant moi, sois la bienvenue.
Mais ta fenêtre reste close
Et les deux sous ne tombent pas.
J'attends cependant peu de chose.
Jette-moi ce que tu voudras.
Argent, pain sec ou vieilles hardes,
Tout me fera plaisir de toi
Et je prierai Dieu qu'il te garde
Un peu mieux qu'il n'a fait pour moi.
Sois bonne, ô ma chère inconnue
Pour qui j'ai souvent chanté.
Ton offrande est la bienvenue.
Fais-moi la charité.
Sois bonne, ô ma chère inconnue
Pour qui j'ai si souvent chanté.
Devant moi, devant moi, sois la bienvenue...
Édith Piaf, born Édith Giovanna Gassion (Paris, December 19, 1915 – Grasse, October 11, 1963), was a French singer of international fame. Known as "La Môme Piaf" or "The Little Sparrow", she dominated the French music scene between the 1930s and 1960s. Born in a poor district of Paris, her childhood was marked by poverty and the loss of her father. She began singing on the streets at the age of seven, earning the nickname "Little Sparrow" (piaf in French). Her powerful and versatile voice, capable of transitioning from harsh tones to sweet melodies, made her one of France's most beloved artists. Piaf became a symbol of resistance and rebellion against social injustices, anticipating the intellectual movement of the rive gauche with songs that reflected the anguish and despair of the time. Among her most famous songs are "La Vie en Rose", "Non, Rien de Rien", "Hymne à l'Amour" and "Milord". Her life was marked by personal tragedies, including car accidents, illnesses, and a suicide attempt. Despite the difficulties, Piaf continued to sing until the end, leaving an unforgettable musical legacy.
