Lyrics Quand les bateaux reviennent Yves Duteil

Quand les bateaux reviennent


Quand les bateaux reviennent
Il reste sur leurs flancs
Des lambeaux décevants
Du vent qui les emmènent
Quand les bateaux reviennent...
Et les marins du bord
Voient grandir la falaise
Et le curieux malaise
Et les lueurs du port
Où les femmes au matin
Frissonnant sous le châle
Ont la lèvre un peu pâle
Et le coeur incertain

Car c'est le même vent
Qui trousse leurs dentelles
Emporte leurs enfants
Puis les ramène à elles
Il donne aux goélands
Cette lenteur si belle
Et fait de leurs amants
Des marins infidèles

Quand les bateaux reviennent
On les attachent au quai
La longe et le piquet
Pour seuls fruits de leur peine
Quand les bateaux reviennent...
Puis les marins s'en vont
Écrasés de fatigue
Même le sol navigue
Au coeur de leur maison
Le lit déjà défait
Se couvre de soupirs
Et les femmes chavirent
Et leur espoir renaît

Car c'est le même vent
Qui souffle leur chandelle
Un soir où le Printemps
Les a trouvées moins belles
Il donne aux océans
Quelques rides nouvelles
Et montre aux cerf-volants
Tous les chemins du ciel

Alors pour quelques jours
Le temps n'existe pas
C'est peut-être pour ça
Que les adieux sont lourds
Quand les bateaux repartent...
Les femmes au petit jour
A l'instant du départ
Cherchent dans leur mouchoir
Pour se compter les jours
Les grains déjà si lourds
Du chapelet d'ivoire
Et l'impossible amarre
Qui mène à leur amour

Mais c'est le même vent
Qui ramène au rivage
Un peu de l'océan
Jusque sur leur visage
Où la mer et le temps
De passage en passage
Ont creusé le sillage
Étrange et fascinant

D'un bateau qui voyage...
