J'entends les vieux planchers qui craquent
J'entends du bruit dans la baraque
J'entends j'entends dans le grenier
Chanter chanter mon châtaignier
Bien à l'abri dans ma soupente
Moi j'entends chanter la charpente
Ce n'est pas du bois vermoulu
J'entends les poutres qui se plaignent
De ne plus donner de châtaignes
En supportant mon toit pointu
J'entends les vieux planchers qui craquent
J'entends du bruit dans la baraque
J'entends j'entends dans le grenier
Chanter chanter mon châtaignier
[non mon châtaignier
n'est pas mort
étant donné qu'il chante encore
la belle chanson d'autrefois]
Quand on devient poutre-maîtresseC'est tout le toit qui vous oppresse
Il faut chanter tout doucement
La chanson de ses origines
Celle qu'il me chante en sourdine
En y mettant du sentiment
J'entends les vieux planchers qui craquent
J'entends du bruit dans la baraque
J'entends j'entends dans le grenier
Chanter chanter mon châtaignier
C'est surprenant mais c'est logique
Il chante la chanson magique
Qu'il a apprise au fond des bois
Il me chante une chanson tendre
Que je suis le seul à comprendre
Quand la nuit vient à petits pas
[Les autres gens de la maison
n'entendent jamais sa chanson
et chacun croit que je débloque
quand je leur dis que la bicoque
est protégée des araignées
par la vie de mon châtaignier]
J'entends les vieux planchers qui craquent
J'entends du bruit dans la baraque
J'entends j'entends dans le grenier
Chanter chanter mon châtaignier
C'est vrai pourtant qu'il nous protège
Contre le froid contre la neige
Tout en berçant mes insomnies
Ce n'est pas une chanson triste
Mon châtaignier est un artiste
Qui continue d'aimer la vie
J'entends les vieux planchers qui craquent
J'entends du bruit dans la baraque
J'entends j'entends dans le grenier
Chanter chanter mon châtaignier
