L'ami américain


Il m'avait gentiment manché dos pesos
Dans la fraîcheur fragile de la cantina
Moi je mangeais tout en lisant Dos Passos
En compagnie d'une bouteille de tequila
Le soleil chassait l'ombre sous les portes cochères
J'aurais troqué de l'or contre un bain
Faut dire que d'ici à Manhattan Transfer
Ça fait déjà un sacré bout de chemin

Il nous était venu un matin ordinaire
Certains disent à pied d'autres en brûlant le train
Les heures mouraient lentement sous la lumière
Les chiens battus, vautrés, ne pensaient plus à rien

Il a posé sur moi son regard délavé
On aurait bien dit qu'il cherchait
A coller bout à bout les morceaux de ma vie
A dépoussiérer mon oubli

Où es-tu maintenant ? Echappé je l'espère
De ta longue saison en enfer
{2x}
Le grand plafond sinistre avec ses moulures bleues
Abritait des clients empressés et fiévreux
Il sacrifiaient leur fric aux dés, au bonneteau
Où seul finalement l'ennui gagnait gros

On a mis en commun nos rêves égarés
Et nos bottes usées d'arpenter
Les chemins défoncés, les bitumes vieillis
Nos projets d'amour engloutis

Raconte-moi tes jours et comment va le temps
Accroché au-dessus du volcan
{2x}

Où es-tu aujourd'hui compagnon de misère
Tout habillé d'espoir, tout ganté de tendresse
T'élances-tu toujours à l'assaut des poussières
Eternel voyageur d'un bateau en détresse

As-tu enfin trouvé la fille aux cheveux clairs
Dans sa robe à fleurs imprimée
Quand j'y pense c'est bien vrai que Manhattan Transfer
Ça n'est pas la porte à côté

Moi je n'attend plus rien, brisé par l'habitude
Je viens d'avoir cent ans de solitude
{2x}

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
