Tout en bas, c'est le Bled immense
Que domine un petit fortin.
Sur la plaine, c'est le silence,
Et là-haut, dans le clair matin,
Une silhouette aux quatre vents jette
Les notes aiguës d'un clairon,
Mais, un coup de feu lui répond.
Ah la la la, la belle histoire.
Y a trente gars dans le bastion,
Torse nu, rêvant de bagarres,
Ils ont du vin dans leurs bidons,
Des vivres et des munitions.
Ah la la la, la belle histoire.
Là-haut sur les murs du bastion,
Dans le soleil plane la gloire
Et dans le vent claque un fanion.
C'est le fanion de la légion !
Les "salopards" tiennent la plaine,
Là-haut, dans le petit fortin.
Depuis une longue semaine,
La mort en prend chaque matin.
La soif et la fièvre
Dessèchent les lèvres.
A tous les appels de clairon,
C'est la mitraille qui répond.
Ah la la la, la belle histoire,
Ils restent vingt dans le bastion,
Le torse nu, couverts de gloire,
Ils n'ont plus d'eau dans leurs bidons
Et presque plus de munitions.
Ah la la la, la belle histoire,
Claquant au vent sur le bastion
Et troué comme une écumoire,
Il y a toujours le fanion,
Le beau fanion de la légion !
Comme la nuit couvre la plaine,
Les "salopards", vers le fortin
Se sont glissés comme des hyènes
Ils ont lutté jusqu'au matin :
Hurlements de rage,
Corps à corps sauvages,
Les chiens ont eu peur des lions.
Ils n'ont pas pris la position.
Ah la la la, la belle histoire,
Ils restent trois dans le bastion,
Le torse nu, couverts de gloire,
Sanglants, meurtris et en haillons,
Sans eau ni pain, ni munitions.
Ah la la la, la belle histoire,
Ils ont toujours dans le bastion
Mais ne peuvent crier victoire :
On leur a volé le fanion,
Le beau fanion de la légion !
Mais tout à coup, le canon tonne :
Des renforts arrivent enfin.
A l'horizon, une colonne
Se profile dans le matin
Et l'echo répète l'appel des trompettes
Qui monte vers le mamelon.
Un cri de là-haut lui répond.
Ah la la la, la belle histoire,
Les trois qui sont dans le bastion,
Sur leurs poitrines toutes noires
Avec du sang crénom de nom
Ont dessiné de beaux fanions.
Ah la la la, la belle histoire,
Ils peuvent redresser leurs fronts
Et vers le ciel crier victoire.
Au garde-a-vous sur le bastion,
Ils gueulent "présent la légion."
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.
