Lyrics Oh comme les saumons Serge Lama

Oh comme les saumons


Oh, comme les saumons,
Retrouver ma première source
Et contre mes flancs moribonds
Sentir l'eau des premières courses,
Déposer les oeufs en amont
D'où naîtront les futurs saumons

Oh, comme les saumons,
Retrouver l'eau claire de l'enfance
Et respirer à pleins poumons
L'eau pure de mes premières danses
Dans les premiers remous qui m'ont
Donné envie d'être un saumon

Putain de rivière !
Entre moi et moi, ils ont dressé
Des murs de pierres
J'ai beau sauter
Je retombe toujours en arrière,
Toujours en arrière

Putain de rivière !
J'ai beau tournoyer de sauts
En sauts vers la lumière,
Je n'atteindrai jamais
Jamais la source première,
Je mourrai derrière

Oh, comme les saumons,
Retrouver l'eau de ma Garonne
Et faire mes premiers plongeons
Dans l'eau jaune qui tourbillonne
Et nager parmi les ajoncs
Où j'ai rêvé d'être un saumon

Oh, comme les saumons,
Sentir le torrent qui commence
Et zigzaguer entre les monts
Et les rocs de l'adolescence
Vers des eaux de moins en moins claires,
Aller faire l'amour dans la mer

Putain de rivière !
C'est déjà assez les rochers,
Les courants contraires,
Combien d'entre nous atteindront
A l'heure dernière
La source première ?
Putain de rivière !
Putain de rivière !

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
