Roulez tambours


Allez, roulez, roulez tambours
Pour ceux qui meurent chaque jour,
Pour ceux qui pleurent dans les faubourgs,
Pour Hiroshima, Pearl Harbor,
Allez, roulez, roulez. Tambours
Ont roulé pour Napoléon,
Au son des fifres et des clairons.
Ils ont roulé pour tant de guerres
Et roulent sur la terre entière.
Ils roulent, roulent nuit et jour.
Quand rouleront-ils pour l'amour ?
Allez, roulez, roulez tambours...

J'ai vu, j'ai vu tant de misère
Et tant souffrir autour de moi
Que je ne me rappelle guère
Si la douleur était pour moi.
J'ai souvent vu trembler ma mère.
Je crois bien que c'était pour moi.
J'ai presque vu trembler mon père.
Il ne m'a jamais dit pourquoi...

Allez, roulez, roulez tambours
Pour ceux qui meurent chaque jour,
Pour ceux qui pleurent dans les faubourgs,
Pour Hiroshima, Pearl Harbor,
Allez, roulez, roulez. Tambours
Ont roulé pour Napoléon,
Au son des fifres et des clairons.
Ils ont roulé pour tant de guerres
Et roulent sur la terre entière.
Ils roulent, roulent nuit et jour.
Quand rouleront-ils pour l'amour ?
Allez, roulez, roulez tambours...

Entendez sonner les trompettes.
Elles partent de Jéricho.
Elles résonnent dans ma tête
Pour sangloter dans un écho.
Moi, je voudrais bien qu'elles chantent
Pour le garçon qui va m'aimer,
Pour mes amis dans la tourmente
Et pour ceux qui l'ont mérité...

Allez, roulez, roulez tambours
Pour ceux qui naissent chaque jour,
Pour ceux qui rient dans les faubourgs,
Pour Hiroshima mon amour...
Allez, roulez, roulez tambours.
Vous roulerez sous les chansons
Au rythme des accordéons.
Pour l'heure et pour la fin des guerres,
Roulerez sur la terre entière
Et moi je jouerai du tambour,
Et moi je chanterai l'amour,
Et moi je chanterai l'amour,
Et moi je chanterai l'amour...

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.
