Lyrics L'éclusier Jacques Brel

 876

L'éclusier


Les mariniers
Me voient vieillir
Je vois vieillir
Les mariniers
On joue au jeu
Des imbéciles
Où l'immobile
Est le plus vieux
Dans mon métier
Même en été
Faut voyager
Les yeux fermés.

Ce n'est pas rien d'être éclusier

Les mariniers
Savent ma trogne
Ils me plaisantent
Et ils ont tort
Moitié sorcier
Moitié ivrogne
Je jette un sort
À tout c'qui chante
Dans mon métier
C'est en automne
Qu'on cueille les pommes
Et les noyés

Ce n'est pas rien d'être éclusier

Dans son panier
Un enfant louche
Pour voir la mouche
Qui est sur son nez
Maman ronronne
Le temps soupire
Le chou transpire
Le feu ronchonne
Dans mon métier
C'est en hiver
Qu'on pense au père
Qui s'est noyé

Ce n'est pas rien d'être éclusier

Vers le printemps
Les marinières
M'font des manières
De leur chaland
J'aimerais leur jeu
Sans cette guerre
Qui m'a un peu
Trop abimé
Dans mon métier
C'est au printemps
Qu'on prend le temps
De se noyer
