Mon pot' le gitan c'est un gars curieux
Une gueule toute noir, des carreaux tout bleus
Y reste des heures sans dire un seul mot
Assis près du poêle au fond du bistrot
C'gars-là une roulotte s'promène dans sa tête
Et quand elle voyage jamais ne s'arrête
Des tas d'paysages sortent de ses yeux
Mon pot' le gitan c'est un gars curieux
Mon pot' le gitan, c'est pas un marrant
Et dans notre bistrot personne le comprend
Comme tous ces gars-là il a sa guitare
Une guitare crasseuse qui vous colle le noir
Quand y s'met à jouer la vieille roulotte
Galope dans sa tête, les joueurs de belote
S'arrêtent et plus rien... on a mal en dedans
Mon pot' le gitan c'est pas un marrant
Mon pot' le gitan un jour est parti
Et Dieu seul sait où il ballade sa vie
Ce type là était un grand musicien
Ça j'en étais sûr, moi je l'sentais bien
Le tôlier m'a dit qu'on est venu l'chercher
Un grand music-hall voulait l'acheter
Mon pot' le gitan il a refusé
Un haussement d'épaules et il s'est taillé?
J'ai eu l'impression de perdre un ami
Et pourtant c'gars-là ne m'a jamais rien dit
Mais il m'a laissé un coin de sa roulotte
Et dans ma petite tête j'ai du rêve qui trotte
Sa drôle de musique en moi est restée
Quand je pense à lui, m'arrive de chanter
Toi sacré gitan qui sentait l'cafard
Au fond ta musique était pleine d'espoir.
Yves Montand, pseudonimo di Ivo Livi (Marsiglia, 13 ottobre 1921 – Parigi, 9 novembre 1991), è stato un cantante e attore italiano naturalizzato francese. Considerato uno dei più grandi interpreti della chanson francese del XX secolo, Montand ha saputo coniugare la potenza vocale con una profonda sensibilità interpretativa. La sua carriera, iniziata negli anni '40 in Francia, lo ha visto collaborare con alcuni dei nomi più importanti della musica e del cinema francese, tra cui Charles Aznavour, Edith Piaf e Jean-Luc Godard. Tra i suoi brani più celebri figurano "Les Feuilles Mortes", "La Vie en Rose" (cover di Édith Piaf) e "Le Chant des Partisans". Montand ha interpretato anche numerosi film, ottenendo riconoscimenti internazionali per la sua interpretazione in "Il cielo è rosso" (1964), diretto da Jean-Luc Godard. La sua figura rimane un punto di riferimento per la cultura francese e italiana.
