Mon pot' le gitan


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.

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.
