Lyrics Un enfant Mario Pelchat

 438

Un enfant


A force de claquer ma vie
Entre mots et accords et puis
A force de sentimentalité
Je ne sais rien apprivoiser
Un enfant que j'endormirais
S'il m'était permis de le prendre
De l'accueillir et de l'entendre
Serait, de loin, ma plus grande prière
Le temps d'apaiser ses colères

Pour qu'un homme au moins se souvienne
Qu'il a été petit, hier
Et que si longues sont les peines
Il faut bien que cesse la guerre

Tu les entends
Ce qu'ils disaient alors
Les réponses des grands
Faut les attendre encore
Avec l'amour, tu les auras toi-même
A quoi bon les discours
T'inquiète pas... je t'aime

A force d'inventer des nuits
Des femmes dans mes insomnies
A force d'incompatibilité
Je ne sais pas comment aimer
Un enfant que je bercerais

Si seulement je savais guérir
Son passé lourd de souvenirs
Serait, de loin, ma plus grande victoire
Le temps d'étreindre sa mémoire

Qu'un homme sache combien libre
Il peut continuer de marcher
Et de trouver son équilibre
En défiant sa fragilité

Tu les revois
Ce qu'ils étaient alors
Entre alcool et fracas
Ils se croyaient très forts
Avec l'amour, ils s'imaginaient même
A l'abri des vautours
T'épargnant les... "je t'aime"

A force de craindre la mort
Et les vertiges de mon corps
J'ai fait mon deuil de l'immortalité
A force de ne pas cerner
Cet enfant, je protégerais
S'il est juste que dès l'enfance
Il faille imposer ses défenses
Contre l'auteur, contre l'autorité
Avant qu'on ait l'âge d'aimer

Ce gamin à qui je m'adresse
Je le connais depuis toujours
Il est en moi, je suis, du reste,
Son camarade de parcours

Tu parleras, quand t'en auras la chance,
De ce qu'on ne dit pas
Qu'on effleure en silence
Quand tu sauras te délivrer des murs
Qu'ils volent en éclats
Quand montent tes blessures
Quand tu sauras, pour tes enfants, toi-même
T'oublier, tu pourras
Te soûler de... "je t'aime" !

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
