Quand tout dort sur la ville et que brille
Cette gueule en or, la lune,
Quand j'étreins du chevet la lumière,
Que je retrouve la nuit familière,
Quand je fume la dernièr' cigarette,
Que je ferme doucement la fenêtre
Et que, dans le sommeil, je me glisse
Pour rêver aux plus belles délices...
Les oiseaux de Paris
Me réveillent, la nuit,
Par leurs chants et leurs cris.
Ils font bien plus de bruit
Qu'les autos,
Les oiseaux.
Chaque soir, à minuit,
Dans mon île Saint-Louis,
Tout le malade les maudit
Mais moi, j'les trouve gentils,
Les oiseaux d'Paris.
Vous croyez peut-être qu'ils ont entr' eux
D'innocents bavardages.
Non, Mesdames, l'amour, ils ont joyeux.
Ah ! Quel beau tapage.
Je ne dors plus la nuit.
Je m'remue dans mon lit
Et je rêve, c'est inouï,
Que je suis un oiseau de Paris.
J'ai quitté Paris pour la province.
Les affaires étaient trop minces.
Je vis loin, très loin, dans un village.
Je m'occupe de pêche et de jardinage.
Ce matin, en ouvrant la fenêtre,
C'était l'hiver tranquille et champêtre.
Le soleil cascadait dans les branches
Mais les bois étaient en robe blanche.
Mais hélas, la vie est vagabonde.
Un artiste doit courir le monde
Et Berlin, Chicago, capitales
Sont bien loin de ma terre natale.
Ce matin, j'm'éveille en Amérique
Dans dix jours je serai en Afrique
Et je pense avec mélancolie
A ma ville qui m'attend, si jolie.
Un oiseau de Paris
Est venu faire son nid
Dans l'hôtel où je suis.
Il fait bien plus de bruit
Qu'les autos,
Cet oiseau.
Chaque soir, je lui dis :
"Si tu vas à Paris,
Dis bonjour aux amis.
Dis bonjour à la Seine,
Au bois d'Vincennes.
Va revoir ma chambre, sous les toits,
Où l'on voit les étoiles.
Porte à tous de bonnes nouvelles de moi.
Dis-leur : "Il reviendra."
Pose-toi dans le ciel,
En haut d'la Tour Eiffel,
Au printemps qui sourit
Et chante avec tous les oiseaux de Paris."
Charles Trenet (Louis Charles Auguste Claude Trenet), born May 18, 1913, in Narbonne and died February 19, 2001, in Créteil, was a highly successful French singer-songwriter. His career began in the 1930s and reached its peak between the late 1930s and the mid-1950s, although it continued until the 1990s. Trenet distinguished himself by writing most of his songs, refusing to record songs composed by other artists during a period when it was rare for singers to write their own material. Among his most famous successes are "La Mer", "Boum!" and "Y'a d'la joie". Trenet helped define the sound of French chanson, influencing generations of artists.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
