Lyrics Le portugais Joe Dassin

 916

Le portugais


Avec son marteau piqueur
Il creuse le sillon
De la route de demain
Il y met du coeur
Le soleil et le gel
Sont écrits sur ses mains

Le Portugais dans son cire tout rouge
Qui ressemble à un épouvantail
As-tu vu l'étrange laboureur
Des prairies de béton
Et des champs de rocaille?

Il faut en faire des voyages
Il faut en faire du chemin
Ce n'est plus dans son village
Qu'on peut gagner son pain
Loin de son toit, de sa ville
À cinq cent lieus vers le nord
Le soir dans un bidonville
Le Portugais s'endort

Il est arrivé
À la Gare d'Austerlitz
Voilà deux ans déjà
Il n'a qu'une idée
Gagner beaucoup d'argent
Et retourner là-bas

Le Portugais dans son cire tout rouge
Qui ressemble à un épouvantail
Il ne t'entend pas
Il est sur le chemin qui mène au Portugal

Il faut en faire des voyages
Il faut en faire du chemin
Ce n'est plus dans son village
Qu'on peut gagner son pain
Loin de son toit, de sa ville
À cinq cent lieus vers le nord
Le soir dans un bidonville
Le Portugais s'endort

Biografia

Joe Dassin (Joseph Ira Dassin, 1938-1980) was an American-born French singer and songwriter. Considered one of the greatest French music artists of the 1960s and 1970s, Dassin captivated audiences with his warm voice and romantic, catchy songs. A polyglot, he could express himself and sing in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Greek. Born in New York to French parents, he moved to France at the age of 18 to pursue music. His breakthrough came with the song "Les Champs-Élysées" (1970), which became a national anthem of France. Among his most famous songs are also "Salut les copains", "Et si tu n'existais pas", and "Laissez-moi danser". Dassin collaborated with numerous French artists, including Claude François and Gilbert Bécaud. His music is still widely appreciated in France and around the world.
