Ils n'ont plus que leurs souvenirs
Ceux qui jadis couraient le monde
Avec une grâce d'aronde
De la Loire au Guadalquivir
Ils méditent sur leur passé
Qui les rendit veufs d'aventures
Dans le bassin où leur mâture
Semblent des arbres trépassés
L'un fut goëlette autrefois
L'autre frégate sous l'Empire
Lui n'était qu'un petit navire
Lorsqu'il combattait les Anglois
Et maintenant, ils ne sont plus
Qu'un peu du vieux jadis qui flotte
Dont la pauvre tête radote
Sur de vieux exploits disparus :
- J'ai vu la peste à Singapour
En dix-sept cent soixante-seize
Dit un ancêtre au ventre obèse
- Moi, je fus autrefois l'amour
De monsieur Vigny, vous savez
Un poète, un aristocrate
"Qu'elle était belle ma frégate !"
Eh bien, c'est de moi qu'il parlait
- Vous semblez me mettre à l'écart
C'est vrai, ma coque porte "rage"
Je conçois mais c'était "Courage"
Que l'on m'appelait sous Jean Bart
Avant que son second parrain
Un boulet venu d'Angleterre
Me fit -c'était de bonne guerre-
L'entaille que je porte aux reins
- J'ai eu pour commandant Surcouf
Dans son poing brillait une gouge
Qui souvent fit couler du rouge
Des corps bruns tombés sans dire ouf
- Moi, j'eus pour nom "Bellérophon"
J'ai vu rêver sous ma misaine
Avant qu'il n'aille à Sainte-Hélène
Un dénommé Napoléon
Et c'est ainsi que, balancés
Par le clapotis d'une darse,
Les vieux bateaux, leur âme éparse,
Causent entre eux de leur passé
Ou bien contant dans le serein
Alors qu'au loin sonne la soupe
À quelque petite chaloupe
Des histoires de vieux marins
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.
