Ils sont venus à pas de loup.
Ils sont venus, je ne sais d'où.
Ils avaient fait un long voyage.
On leur donna des viandes, du vin,
Puis ils chantèrent de gais refrains
Parlant de gloire et de carnage.
Puis, à la fin de ce beau jour,
Ils chantèrent des chansons d'amour
Et toutes les filles, même les plus sages,
Rêvèrent de leurs danses, de leurs chants
Et les vieillards comme les enfants,
En les voyant, n'avaient plus d'âge...
C'étaient les soldats !...
Ils demeurèrent ici longtemps.
Combien de mois, combien d'printemps ?
Je n'saurai dire car ma mémoire
N'a gardé d'eux qu'un vieux souvenir.
En fait d'amertume, d'étrange plaisir
Mais pour le printemps, c'est autre histoire.
Pourtant je l'avoue, ils ont volé,
Sans trop l'savoir, tout c pue j'voulais.
Seul est resté le paysage,
La plaine déserte ou je viens ce soir,
En frissonnant parce qu'il fait noir
Et que j'n'ai plus aucun courage.
Ils sont repartis à pas de loup.
Ils sont repartis, je ne sais où,
Sans doute pour faire un beau voyage.
D'autres leur donneront des viandes, du vin.
Ils leur chanteront de gais refrains,
Parlant de gloire et de carnage
Puis, à la fin de quelque beau jour,
Ils chanteront des chansons d'amour
Et toutes les filles, même les plus sages,
Rêveront de leurs danses et de leurs chants
Et les vieillards comme les enfants,
En les voyant, n'auront plus d'âge.
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.
