Sur les noirs chevaux sans mors,
Sans selle et sans étriers,
Par le royaume des morts
Vont deux blancs ménétriers.
Ils vont un galop d'enfer,
Tout en raclant leur crincrin
Avec des archets de fer,
Ayant des cheveux pour crin.
Au fracas des durs sabots,
Au rire des violons,
Les morts sortent des tombeaux.
Dansons et cabriolons !
Et les trépassés joyeux
S'en vont par bonds et soufflant,
Avec une flamme aux yeux,
Rouge dans leurs crânes blancs.
Et les noirs chevaux sans mors,
Sans selle et sans étriers
Font halte et voici qu'aux morts
Parlent les ménétriers :
Le premier dit, d'une voix
Sonnant comme un tympanon :
"Voulez-vous vivre deux fois ?
Venez, la Vie est mon nom !"
Et tous, même les plus gueux
Qui de rien n'avaient joui,
Tous, dans un élan fougueux,
Les morts ont répondu : "Oui !"
Alors l'autre, d'une voix
Qui soupirait comme un cor,
Leur dit : "Pour vivre deux fois,
Il vous faut aimer encor !
Aimez donc ! Enlacez-vous !
Venez, l'Amour est mon nom !"
Mais tous, même les plus fous,
Les morts ont répondu : "Non !"
Et leurs doigts décharnés,
Montrant leurs cœurs en lambeaux,
Avec des cris de damnés,
Sont rentrés dans leurs tombeaux.
Et les blancs ménétriers
Sur leurs noirs chevaux sans mors,
Sans selle et sans étriers,
Ont laissé dormir les morts.
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.
