Paroles et musique : Georges Brassens
1Parlez-moi de la pluie et non pas du beau temps
Le beau temps me dgote et m'fait grincer les dents
Le bel azur me met en rage
Car le plus grand amour qui m'fut donn sur terre
Je l'dois au mauvais temps, je l'dois Jupiter
Il me tomba d'un ciel d'ora-ge.
2Par un soir de novembre, cheval sur les toits
Un vrai tonnerre de Brest avec des cris d'putois
Allumait ses feux d'artifice
Bondissant sur ma couche, en costume de nuit,
Ma voisine affole vint cogner mon huis
En rclamant mes bons offices.
3Je suis seule et j'ai peur, ouvrez-moi par piti
Mon poux vient d'partir faire son dur mtier
Pauvre malheureux mercenaire
Contraint d'coucher dehors quand il fait mauvais temps
Pour la bonne raison qu'il est reprsentant
D'un' maison de paratonnerres.
4En bnissant le nom de Benjamin Franklin
Je l'ai mise en lieu sr entre mes bras clins
Et puis l'amour a fait le reste
Toi qui smes des paratonnerres foison
Que n'en as-tu plant sur ta propre maison
Erreur on ne peut plus funeste.
5Quand Jupiter alla se faire entendre ailleurs
La belle ayant enfin conjur sa frayeur
Et retrouv tout son courage
Rentra dans ses foyers, faire scher son mari
En m'donnant rendez-vous les jours d'intemprie
Rendez-vous au prochain orage.
6 partir de ce jour j'n'ai plus baiss les yeux
J'ai consacr mon temps contempler les cieux
regarder passer les nues
guetter les stratus, lorgner les nimbus
faire les yeux doux aux moindres cumulus
Mais elle n'est pas revenue.
7Son bonhomme de mari avait tant fait d'affaires
Tant vendu ce soir-l de petits bouts de fer
Qu'il tait dev'nu millionnaire
Et l'avait emmene vers des cieux toujours bleus
Des pays imbciles o jamais il ne pleut
O l'on ne sait rien du tonnerre.
8Dieu fass' que ma complainte aille tambour battant
Lui parler de la pluie, lui parler du gros temps
Auquel on a t'nu tte ensemble
Lui conter qu'un certain coup de foudre assassin
Dans le mill' de mon coeur a laiss le dessin
D'une petite fleur qui lui ressemble
