Original text with translation
Jean Ferrat
Quand l’hiver a pris sa besace
Que tout s’endort et tout se glace dans mon jardin abandonn
Quand les jours soudain rapetissent
Que les fantmes envahissent la solitude des alles
Quand la burle secoue les portes
En balayant les feuilles mortes aux quatre coins de la valle
Un grillon, un grillon, un grillon dans ma chemine
Un grillon, un grillon, un grillon se met chanter
Il n’a pourtant dans son assiette
Pas la plus petite herbe verte, la plus fragile gramine
se mettre sous la luette
Quand le vent souffle la tempte et qu’il est l’heure de dner
Que peut-il bien manger ou boire?
quoi peut-il rver ou croire?
Quel espoir encore l’habiter?
Un grillon, un grillon, un grillon dans ma chemine
Un grillon, un grillon, un grillon se met chanter
Son cri n’a d’autre raison d’tre
Que son refus de disparatre de cet univers dsol
Pour le meilleur et pour le pire
Il chante comme je respire pour ne pas tre asphyxi
Sait-il au fond de sa mmoire
Que c’est du cњur de la nuit noire qu’on peut voir l’aube se lever?
Un grillon, un grillon, un grillon dans ma chemine
Un grillon, un grillon, un grillon se met chanter.
When the winter took its bag
That everything falls asleep and everything freezes in my abandoned garden
When the days suddenly get shorter
Let ghosts invade the loneliness of the aisles
When the burle shakes the doors
Sweeping the fallen leaves across the valley
A cricket, a cricket, a cricket in my path
A cricket, a cricket, a cricket starts singing
However, he does not have on his plate
Not the smallest green grass, the most fragile grass
put under the uvula
When the wind blows the storm and it's dinner time
What can he eat or drink?
what can he dream or believe?
What hope still to inhabit it?
A cricket, a cricket, a cricket in my path
A cricket, a cricket, a cricket starts singing
His cry has no other reason to be
That his refusal to disappear from this desolate universe
For better and for worse
He sings like I breathe so I don't suffocate
Does he know deep in his memory
That it is from the heart of the dark night that we can see the dawn rising?
A cricket, a cricket, a cricket in my path
A cricket, a cricket, a cricket begins to sing.
