Une enfant, une enfant de seize ans,
Une enfant du printemps
Couchée sur le chemin...
Elle vivait dans un de ces quartiers
Où tout le monde est riche à crever.
Elle avait quitté ses parents
Pour suivre un garçon, un bohème
Qui savait si bien dire "je t'aime".
Ça en devenait bouleversant,
Et leurs deux cœurs ensoleillés
Partirent sans laisser d'adresse,
Emportant juste leur jeunesse
Et la douceur de leur péché.
Une enfant, une enfant de seize ans,
Une enfant du printemps
Couchée sur le chemin...
Leurs cœurs n'avaient pas de saisons
Et ne voulaient pas de prison.
Tous deux vivaient au jour le jour,
Ne restant jamais à la même place.
Leurs cœurs avaient besoin d'espace
Pour contenir un tel amour.
Son présent comme son futur,
C'était cet amour magnifique
Qui la berçait comme d'un cantique
Et perdait ses yeux dans l'azur.
Une enfant, une enfant de seize ans,
Une enfant du printemps
Couchée sur le chemin...
Mais son amour était trop grand,
Trop grand pour l'âme d'une enfant.
Elle ne vivait que par son cœur
Et son cœur se faisait un monde,
Mais Dieu n'accepte pas les mondes
Dont il n'est pas le Créateur.
L'amour étant leur seul festin,
Il la quitta pour quelques miettes.
Alors, sa vie battit en retraite
Et puis l'enfant connut la faim.
Une enfant, une enfant de seize ans,
Une enfant du printemps
Couchée sur le chemin
... morte ..!
Aaaah ...
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.
