Lyrics Le capitaine William Sheller

Le capitaine


Chanson inspirée par l'opéra "Madame Butterfly" de Puccini

Mon bateau est tout bleu dans les reflets de la lune
J'avance sur la mer calmée
Dites-moi, voyez-vous déjà la ligne des dunes
Qui borde la maison de thé

Fumées en marche, tout me pousse
Sur sa table mes lettres doivent s'envoler
Amour en marche, tout me pousse
Ses cheveux noirs aux branches doivent s'emméler
Les bambous seront lourds autour de la maison
Elle portera sans doute un kimono de coton
J'y pense chaque soir en regardant l horizon
Les marins chuchotaient cette nuit sur le pont

Que fait le capitaine? A-t-il perdu la raison ?

Monsieur un télégramme. Et j'ai dû prendre la mer
Mais le voyage fut si long
Elle est restée mon rêve et je reviens vers la terre
A-t'elle su compter les saisons?

Fumées en marche, tout me pousse
Pour le noir de ses yeux,
J'aurais braver les orages
Amour en marche, tout me pousse
Vers ce regard blessé quitté au bord du rivage
Les bambous seront lourds autour de la maison
Elle portera sans doute un kimono de coton
J'y pense chaque soi en regardant l horizon
Les marins chuchotaient cette nuit sur le pont

Que fait le capitaine? A-t'il perdu la raison?

Amour en marche, tout me pousse
On éteint la lanterne dans la maison de thé
Ce sont des larmes qu'on étouffe
Oh monsieur Puccini mais que s'est-il donc passé?
Les bambous sont fanés autour de la maison
Du sang rouge a fleuri au kimono de coton
Un papillon est mort, un pétale est tombé
Et les marins chuchotent au matin sur le pont
D'où vient le capitaine? Il a perdu la raison (x4)

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
