Lyrics Padam padam Edith Piaf

 1.897

Padam padam


Cet air qui m'obsède tour et nuit
Cet air n'est pas né d'aujourd'hui
Il vient d'aussi loin que je viens
Traîné par cent mille musiciens
Un jour cet air me rendra folle
Cent fois j'ai voulu dire pouquoi
Mais il m'a coupé la parole
Il parle toujours avant moi
Et sa voix, couvre ma voix

Padam, padam, padam…
Il arrive en courrant derrière moi,
Padam, padam, padam, il me fait le coup de « souviens-toi »
Padam, padam, padam, c'est un air qui me montre du doigt
Et je traîne après moi comme une drôle d'erreur
Cet air qui sait tout par cœur.

Il dit rappelle-toi tes amours
Rappelle-toi puisque c'est ton tour
Il n'y a pas de raison pour que tu ne pleures pas
Avec tes souvenirs sous le bras
Et moi, je revois ce qui reste
Mes vingt ans font battre tambour
Je vois s'entrebattre des gestes
Toute la comédie des amours

Padam, padam, padam, des « je t'aime » de quatorze juillet
Padam, padam, padam, des « toujours » qu'on achète au rabais
Padam, padam, padam, des « veux-tu, en voilà » par paquets
Et tout ça pour tomber juste au coin de la rue
Sur l'air qui m'a reconnue

Ecoutez le chaout qu'il me fait
Comme si tout mon passé défilait
Faut garder du chagrin pour après
J'en ait tout un solfège sur cet air qui bat,
Qui bat comme un cœur de bois.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics PADAM PADAM of EDITH PIAF is also present in the album La môme (2007)

Biografia

Édith Piaf, born Édith Giovanna Gassion (Paris, December 19, 1915 – Grasse, October 11, 1963), was a French singer of international fame. Known as "La Môme Piaf" or "The Little Sparrow", she dominated the French music scene between the 1930s and 1960s. Born in a poor district of Paris, her childhood was marked by poverty and the loss of her father. She began singing on the streets at the age of seven, earning the nickname "Little Sparrow" (piaf in French). Her powerful and versatile voice, capable of transitioning from harsh tones to sweet melodies, made her one of France's most beloved artists. Piaf became a symbol of resistance and rebellion against social injustices, anticipating the intellectual movement of the rive gauche with songs that reflected the anguish and despair of the time. Among her most famous songs are "La Vie en Rose", "Non, Rien de Rien", "Hymne à l'Amour" and "Milord". Her life was marked by personal tragedies, including car accidents, illnesses, and a suicide attempt. Despite the difficulties, Piaf continued to sing until the end, leaving an unforgettable musical legacy.
