Lyrics La terre est basse Pierre Bachelet

La terre est basse


Angèle est née là-bas
Dans les grands champs de coton
Mais le coton là-bas
C'est bien plus lourd que le plomb
De l'aube jusqu'au soir
Angèle portait les paniers
La saison terminée
On l'a remerciée
Angèle n'a rien dit
Elle a pris ses affaires et puis
S'est embarquée en cargo
Destination St Malo
Comme pour sauver sa vie

La terre est basse monsieur la terre est basse
Pour qui ramasse
La terre est bonne monsieur la terre est bonne
Pour qui ordonne

Angèle a vu l'hiver
Et la neige sur les toits
Comme le coton naguère
C'est blanc mais c'est bien plus froid
Maintenant dans un bistrot
Elle lave par terre tous les soirs
Y a même des rigolos
Pour lui chercher des histoires

Angèle a pour destin
Ses paumes blanches dans ses poings
Mais comme la neige qui fond
Ou comme les balles de coton
Ça file entre les mains

La terre est basse monsieur la terre est basse
Pour qui ramasse
La terre est bonne monsieur la terre est bonne
Pour qui ordonne

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
