"Pas la peine de suivre l'aiguille.",
Dit le patron du bar,
"Ça n'avance à rien
Elle est en retard !
Va jouer aux billes
Ça passe le temps et ça fait du bien..."
Il met ses vingt balles dans la mécanique
Un déclic !
Les billes sautent au garde-à-vous !
La première bondit comme une hystérique.
Ça cavale, ça sonne, ça s'allume partout !
Ding ! Ding ! Ça crépite comme une mitraillette
Ding ! Un ?il fait "tilt"... Ding ! Une bouche fleurit !
Une pin-up s'éclaire des pieds à la tête
Au fond de la vitrine en verre dépoli.
Cent mille ! C'est le ballet des nombres magiques !
Deux cent ! Re-ding-ding !!
La bille n'écoute pas...
Elle baisse dans le couloir comme prise de panique
Zut ! Raté !... Huit heures...
Elle ne viendra pas...
"A quoi sert de guetter la porte ?",
Dit le patron du bar,
"Faut pas s'énerver
Vous êtes beau gosse
Elle, elle est pas morte !
Une de perdue, dix de retrouvées..."
Il remet vingt balles dans la mécanique.
De ses doigts crispés, il tend le ressort.
La bille sème partout des flashes électriques,
Pas autant, pourtant,
Qu' 'y en a dans son corps...
Ah ! La sacrée garce ! Elle ira quand même...
Re-ding ! Ding ! Ça y est !
Dans l'trou des cinq cent !!!
Une partie à l'?il, il comprend le système
Et ding ! Et re-ding !! Ça devient angoissant...
Ding ! Ding ! Il s'agrippe, il secoue, il cogne...
Ding ! Comme si c'était...
"Holà ! Faudrait voir... !
Il va tout casser", dit le patron qui rogne
Zut ! Le jeu s'éteint !... Neuf heures...
Plus d'espoir...
Il s'excuse, il s'en va livide,
Les nerfs détendus, mais le cœur si gros.
"Il va jouer ailleurs",
Dit le patron candide
"Il va jouer ailleurs, ou bien se foutre à l'eau..."
Ding ! Cent mille ! Ding ! Ding ! Deux cent mille !
Trois cent ! Quatre cent !
Cinq cent mille !
Ding ! Ding ! Ding ! Re-ding ! Ding ! DING !... TILT !!!...
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.
