Ma prairie


J'étouffe dans la ville
Et je m'y meurs d'ennui
Car tout me semble gris
Les rues me sont hostiles
Les toit cachent le soleil
Ah rendez moi mon ciel!

Laissez-moi retrouver ma prairie
Retrouver les vastes horizons,
Le galop endiablé des noirs troupeaux en furie
Poursuivis par de fougueux garçons.

Rendez-moi les copains qui m'attendent,
Oncle Joe ou Jimmy le tatoué,
Je voudrais les revoir avant qu'un jour on les pende
Ou bien que le shérif les ait tués.

La vieille diligence
Me conduira là-bas,
Là-bas dans mon Texas.
Au galop on s'élance
Allez ! mon gars, vas-y,
Là-bas, c'est le pays.

Au saloon, pas de groom à la porte,
C'est du pied qu'on pousse les battants,
Le revolver au poing, rien ne vaut la manière forte
Pour se faire respecter en entrant.

Car des fois sans qu'on y prenne garde,
Dans un coin quelques mauvais garçons
Pour fêter leur retour joyeusement vous canardent,
Les cow-boys ont de drôles de façons.

J'aurais pu chanter sur ma guitare,
Les exploits de tous les gars de l'Ouest.
Laissez-moi retrouver mes rodéos, mes bagarres,
Laissez-moi retrouver mon Far-West.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Yves Montand, stage name of Ivo Livi (Marseille, October 13, 1921 – Paris, November 9, 1991), was an Italian-born French singer and actor. Considered one of the greatest interpreters of French chanson in the 20th century, Montand combined vocal power with a deep interpretive sensibility. His career, which began in the 1940s in France, saw him collaborate with some of the most important names in French music and cinema, including Charles Aznavour, Edith Piaf and Jean-Luc Godard. Among his most famous songs are "Les Feuilles Mortes", "La Vie en Rose" (cover of Édith Piaf) and "Le Chant des Partisans". Montand also starred in numerous films, earning international recognition for his performance in "Red Sky" (1964), directed by Jean-Luc Godard. His figure remains a point of reference for French and Italian culture.
