Elle avait sous sa toque de martre,
sur la butte Montmartre,
un p'tit air innocent.
On l'appelait rose, elle était belle,
a' sentait bon la fleur nouvelle,
rue Saint-Vincent.
Elle avait pas connu son père,
elle avait p'us d'mère,
et depuis 1900,
a' d'meurait chez sa vieille aïeule
Où qu'a' s'élevait comme ça, toute seule,
rue Saint-Vincent.
A' travaillait déjà pour vivre
et les soirs de givre,
dans l'froid noir et glaçant,
son p'tit fichu sur les épaules,
a' rentrait par la rue des Saules,
rue Saint-Vincent.
Elle voyait dans les nuit gelées,
la nappe étoilée,
et la lune en croissant
qui brillait, blanche et fatidique
sur la p'tite croix d'la basilique,
rue Saint-Vincent.
L'été, par les chauds crépuscules,
a rencontré Jules,
qu'était si caressant,
qu'a' restait la soirée entière,
avec lui près du vieux cimetière,
rue Saint-Vincent.
Et je p'tit Jules était d'la tierce
qui soutient la gerce,
aussi l'adolescent,
voyant qu'elle marchait pantre,
d'un coup d'surin lui troua l'ventre,
rue Saint-Vincent.
Quand ils l'ont couché sur la planche,
elle était toute blanche,
même qu'en l'ensevelissant,
les croque-morts disaient qu'la pauv' gosse
était crevé l'soir de sa noce,
rue Saint-Vincent.
Elle avait une belle toque de martre,
sur la butte Montmartre,
un p'tit air innocent.
On l'appelait rose, elle était belle,
a' sentait bon la fleur nouvelle,
rue Saint-Vincent.
Aristide Bruant (Paris, 1851 – Paris, 1905) was a French singer and chansonnier, considered one of the pioneers of Parisian cabaret. With his gravelly voice and theatrical style, Bruant captured the bohemian and decadent atmosphere of late nineteenth-century Paris. His songs, often on social or political themes, addressed poverty, prostitution, and life in popular Paris. Bruant was a controversial figure, loved by some for his authenticity and criticized by others for his daring themes. Among his most famous songs are "Le Chanson du Vieux Moulin" and "La Vie Bohème". His influence on French cabaret was profound, paving the way for artists like Édith Piaf and Jacques Brel.
