Il y en a qui viennent au monde veinards.
D'autres, au contraire, toute leur vie sont bignards.
Mon père était, pairaît-il, un baron.
Ma mère était boniche dans sa maison.
L'patron lui ayant fait du boniment
Et, de plus, lui ayant fait un enfant,
Ma pauv'baronne, par la patronne,
Fut balancée en vitesse, et comment !
Pour me nourrir ma mère devint catin
Et moi, depuis, j'suis d'venu un vaurien.
C'est nous qui sommes les hiboux.
Les apaches, les voyous,
Ils en foutent pas un coup.
Dans le jour, nous planquons nos mirettes,
Mais le soir nous sortons nos casquettes.
Nos femmes triment sur l'Sébasto
Pendant qu'nous, chez l'bistrot, dans un coin, bien au chaud,
On fait sa p'tite belote avec des mecs comme nous,
Des coquins, des apaches, des hiboux.
Faut pas s'tromper : nous ne sommes pas bons à tout.
On est des poisses, des copards, et c'est tout.
On n'nous rencontre jamais sur les boulevards,
Seulement le soir, pour chasser leur cafard.
Les gens rupins et blasés, les vicieux,
Avec leurs poules qui nous font les doux yeux,
Viennent dans nos bouges boire du vin rouge
Et en dansant, elles nous appellent... Oh mon Dieu !...
On sent leur chaleur qui frémit dans nos bras,
Alors on serre en leur disant tout bas :
C'est nous qui sommes les hiboux.
Les apaches, les voyous,
Ils en foutent pas un coup.
Dans le jour, nous planquons nos mirettes,
Mais le soir nous sortons nos casquettes.
Nos femmes triment sur l'Sébasto
Pendant qu'nous, chez l'bistrot, dans un coin, bien au chaud,
On fait sa p'tite belote avec des mecs comme nous,
Des coquins, des apaches, des hiboux.
Y'en a qui croient être des hommes affranchis.
Aha ! Y m'font marrer avec tous leurs chichis.
Nous, on sait bien que ça finira au grand air,
Le cou serré dans l'truc à m'sieur Débler,
A moins qu'un soir, un mahoutin, un costaud,
Nous r'file un coup d'son surin dans la peau.
Ça finit vite, sans eau bénite.
Nos héritiers qui touchent tous des bigorneaux,
Nous les toquards on claque dans un sale coup.
Oh ! Que ce soit là ou ailleurs, on s'en fout !...
C'est nous qui sommes les hiboux.
Les apaches, les voyous,
Il en coûte pas un coup.
Dans le jour, nous planquons nos mirettes,
Mais, le soir, nous sortons nos casquettes.
Ecoutez ça, vous les rupins :
Gare à moi, le coquin, quand chacun fera son chemin.
Si mon père n'avait pas agi comme un voyou,
Moi aussi, j's'rais p't'être un homme comme vous...
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.
