C'est un télégramme pour Marie Belage,
Dans la cour, escalier B, cinquième étage,
Troisième porte à gauche, deux marches à descendre,
Frapper fort pour qu'elle puisse vous entendre.
Le p'tit facteur grimpe quatre à quatre.
Un vieille demoiselle vient ouvrir.
D'une voix dure et acariâtre,
Elle dit "merci" puis se retire.
Elle ouvre en tremblant la dépêche.
En général, on n'aime pas ça.
Elle lit tout haut, la gorge sèche,
Puis elle relit dix fois tout bas.
"Serai Orly - huit heures - deux mai -
Suis impatient - suis fou de joie -
Je vous adore plus que jamais -
Amour - baisers - signé - ...François..."
Elle retourne vingt ans en arrière.
Comme ils s'aimaient, il y a vingt ans,
Mais ses parents hélas, le refusèrent.
Il n'avait pas un sou vaillant.
"Je reviendrai fortune faite."
Lui a-t-il dit. "Je t'attendrai.
Je veux aussi que tu promettes
Que tu ne m'oublieras jamais."
Il est parti - les mois, les années passent.
Elle est toute seule devant la vie.
Beauté, fraîcheur, jeunesse...tout s'efface
Et plus d'argent, donc plus d'amis...
Les voyageurs arrivant du Mexique,
Ah le voilà ! Comme il est grand !
Ses tempes grises lui donnent l'air poétique.
Il est plus beau qu'il y a vingt ans.
Elle est toute pâle et ses mains brûlent.
Comme il bat fort son pauvre cœur.
Il vient vers elle, il la bouscule.
"J'vous demande pardon !... Dites-moi, porteur !
Je cherche une dame élégante et très belle.
De grands yeux bleus, des cheveux blonds,
Plutôt petite... Attendez ! J'crois que c'est elle...
Ah ! Non, ce n'est pas elle...
J'vous demande pardon !..."
Vous n'auriez pas vu une dame blonde -
Elégante - très belle -
Vous n'auriez pas vu une dame blonde -
Elégante - très belle -
Vous n'auriez pas vu...
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.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
