Un air qui vient d'chez nous
Et qu'on chante un peu partout,
Un air dans l'air très doux
Qui s'envole n'importe où,
Un air qui vient, le soir,
Quand il pleut sur le boul'vard
Ou quand il berce
Une âme tendre et déçue
Comme une averse
Berce dans la nuit la rue...
Un air gui vient le jour
Et gui parle un peu d'amour,
D'un tête-à-tête gamin,
D'une main et d'un chemin,
Un air qui se fout d'tout,
Mais oui Madam', qui s'en fout,
Car c'est la France
Qui chante toujours en lui...
Un air qui se balance
Dans le ciel de mon pays !...
Ce qui vient d'ailleurs
N'est pas parfois c'qu'il y a d'meilleur
Car le meilleur
Se trouve dans nos cœurs.
Bien sûr, je parle des chansons
Qu'en France nous faisons
Et que nous répétons
Depuis des siècles, dit-on :
Sur le Pont d'Avignon
Et la Mèr' Michel,
Qu'avant d'aller au ciel,
Nous apprendrons
A tous nos p'tits rej'tons.
Un air qui vient d'chez nous.
Dagobert où êtes-vous ?
Et vous bon Saint Éloi,
Si gentil pour votre roi,
Si vous aviez chanté
"Auprès d'ma blonde" un été
Dans la nature
Si pure, sous un pommier
Comme on chantait déjà
Sous François Premier,
Si vous aviez repris
Les "Trois Orfèvres" une nuit
Dans un quartier latin,
Plein de copains et de bruit,
Avec le fraîch' Mad'lon
Dont on frôle le jupon ?
Chanson de France,
Amours, joie de l'esprit,
Soleil qui se balance
Dans le ciel de mon pays !...
Charles Trenet (Louis Charles Auguste Claude Trenet), born May 18, 1913, in Narbonne and died February 19, 2001, in Créteil, was a highly successful French singer-songwriter. His career began in the 1930s and reached its peak between the late 1930s and the mid-1950s, although it continued until the 1990s. Trenet distinguished himself by writing most of his songs, refusing to record songs composed by other artists during a period when it was rare for singers to write their own material. Among his most famous successes are "La Mer", "Boum!" and "Y'a d'la joie". Trenet helped define the sound of French chanson, influencing generations of artists.
