Un jour de la vie on ne sait plus lequel
On perd soudain le droit de jouer comme des enfants
De pousser des cris, de lever les sauterelles
De grimper sur les toits, de courir après le vent
Et je dis, les ballons et les billes
Les bonbons que l’on donnait aux filles
Le copain qui avait une sœur si jolie
On en rêvait la nuit, on en parlait avec lui
Oui et je dis, les ballons et les billes
Les batailles dans les rues de la ville
Les vacances et les pique-niques au bord de l’eau
Les équipés sauvages à quatre sur un vélo
Je m’souviens, j’étais plus fier qu’un lord anglais
Tant pour la première fois, quelqu’un m’a appelé monsieur
Et j’oubliais l’avenir qui grondait
Le ciel gris devant moi, quelqu’un m’avait dit monsieur
Et je dis, les ballons et les billes
Les bonbons que l’on donnait aux filles
C’est fini de faire le clown et les quat’cents coups
Monsieur attachez-vous une cravate autour du cou
Oui et je dis, les ballons et les billes
Les bonbons que l’on donnait aux filles
C’est fini, le nez barbouillé de chocolat
Sinon vous n’aurez pas, vous n’aurez pas la gloire
Et je dis, les ballons et les billes
Les bonbons que l’on donnait aux filles
Claude François (Paris, February 1, 1939 – Paris, March 11, 1978) was a French pop singer and songwriter. Considered one of the greatest French artists of the 20th century, he sold over 100 million records worldwide. François began his career in the 1950s, achieving success with songs like "Ce soir je ne dors pas" and "Le Jardin d'hiver". In 1967, he wrote "Comme d'habitude", a song that became a major international hit when Frank Sinatra reinterpreted it as "My Way". François was known for his energetic performance style, his flamboyant outfits, and his ability to engage the audience. Some of his most famous songs include "Alexandrie Alexandra", "Je t'aime... moi non plus" (in collaboration with Jane Birkin) and "Si j'étais un homme". His untimely death at the age of 39 left a void in the world of French music.
