Il était né sur la frontière,
Là-haut dans le Nord où c'qu'y a du vent.
Contrebandier tout comme son père,
Il avait la fraud' dans le sang.
Il attendait les nuits sans lune
- Quand il fait sombre, on passe bien mieux. -
Pour s'faufiler par les grandes dunes
Où l'vent de la mer nous pique les yeux.
Ohé, la douane !
Ohé, les gabelous !
Lâchez tous les chiens
Et puis planquez-vous
Au fond de vos cabanes.
Regardez sur la dune
L'homme qui passe là-bas.
Il est pourtant seul
Mais vous n'l'aurez pas.
Il s'fout d'la douane
Au fond de vos cabanes,
Allez, planquez-vous
Et lâchez les chiens.
Ohé, les gabelous !
Ohé, la douane !
Quand il avait rien d'autre à faire,
Les nuits où qu'il faisait trop clair,
Il changeait les poteaux frontières
Et foutait le monde à l'envers
Ou bien, d'autres fois, en plein passage,
Quand il avait bu un bon coup,
Il poussait de vrais cris sauvages
Et v'là qu'je passe dépêchez-vous.
Ohé, la douane !
Ohé, les gabelous !
Lâchez tous les chiens
Et puis planquez-vous
Au fond de vos cabanes.
Regardez sur la dune
L'homme qui passe là-bas.
C'est moi, moi tout seul,
Mais vous n'm'aurez pas.
J'me fous d'la douane
Au fond de vos cabanes.
Allez, planquez-vous
Et lâchez les chiens.
Ohé, les gabelous !
Ohé, la douane !
Il pouvait pas s'mettre dans la tête
Qu'la loi des hommes, c'est très sérieux.
C'était comme une sorte de poète
Et ces types-là, c'est dangereux.
Alors une nuit qu'y avait d'la lune,
Qu'y baladait pour son plaisir,
Ils l'ont étendu sur la dune
A coup d'fusil pour en finir.
Ohé, la douane !
Ohé, les gabelous !
Planquez tous vos chiens
Et puis amenez-vous.
Du fond de vos cabanes,
C'est d'la belle ouvrage,
Seulement, ce soir,
Ce n'était qu'un homme.
Il travaillait pas.
T'entends, la douane ?
Alors, fallait pas...
Et puis planquez-vous
Au fond de vos cabanes.
Ohé, les gabelous !
Ohé, la douane !
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.
