La vieillesse


Où et quand viendra-t-elle et comment sera-t-elle
en robe de velours ou vêtue de dentelle
chargée de nostalgie ou porteuse d'ivresse, la vieillesse

deviendrai-je un vieux singe un vieux fou un vieux con
mandarin sclérosé radoteur ou bougon
ou me donnera-t-elle un peu de sa sagesse, la vieillesse

viendra-t-elle comme une amie
comme une dame aux cheveux blancs
À l'air paisible et souriant qui viendrait partager mes nuits
ou comme l'ultime adversaire
celle qui reste à vaincre encore
avant de rencontrer la mort et de s'endormir sous la terre

où et quand viendra-t-elle et comment sera-t-elle
en robe de velours ou vêtue de dentelle
chargée de nostalgie ou porteuse d'ivresse, la vieillesse

fera-t-elle de moi un sinistre dévot
préoccupé de dieu beaucoup plus qu'il ne faut
ou me donnera-t-elle droit à la paresse, la vieillesse

serai-je comme un arbre sec qui semble défier le temps
et qui supporte bravement des coups de hache, des coups de bec
ou le vieux beau qui vieillit mal et regarde avec inquiétude
son beau crâne qui se dénude et ses dents qui se font la malle

où et quand viendra-t-elle et comment sera-t-elle
en robe de velours ou vêtue de dentelle
chargée de nostalgie ou porteuse d'ivresse, la vieillesse

je dis qu'il est trop tôt, je sais qu'il est tard
je veux être un vieil homme sans être un vieillard
et vivre chaque instant tout le temps que me laisse, la jeunesse

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
