Granine d'ananar - Léo Ferré

La vie m’a doubl, c’est pas rgulier

Pour un pauv' lzard qui vit par hasard

Dans la socit mais la socit, faut pas s’en mler

J’suis un type part, une graine d’ananar

On m’dit qu’j’ai pouss en d’ssous d’un gibet

O mon grand-papa balanait dj Avec un collier, un collier tress de chanvre, il tait

Un foutu foulard gueule d’ananar

J’avais des copains qui mangeaient mon pain

Car le pain, c’est fait pour tre partag

Dans notre socit, c’est pas moi qui l’dis mais c’est Jsus-Christ

Un foutu bavard gueule d’ananar

Si j’avais des sous, on m’d’manderait «O Les as-tu gagns, sans avoir trim

Pour la socit?»

Mais comme j’en ai pas, faut lui dire pourquoi

C’est jamais peinard, la graine d’ananar

On m’dit qu’c’est fini, j’vous l’dit comme on l’dit

Et qu’on me pendra au nom de la loi

Et d’la socit, d’la belle socit qui s’met s’mler

De mettre au rancart la graine d’ananar

Potence d’oubli, l’oiseau fait son nid

Messieurs les corbeaux passeront ma peau

Comme l’tamis mais auparavant, j’aurai comme le vent

Sem quelque part ma graine d’ananar.

Life passed me by, it's not regular

For a poor lizard who lives by chance

In society but society, don't get involved

I'm a part guy, a pineapple seed

They tell me that I pushed under a gibbet

O my grandpa was already swinging With a necklace, a braided hemp necklace, he was

A damn pineapple scarf

I had friends who ate my bread

Because bread is made to be shared

In our society, it's not me who says it but it's Jesus Christ

A damn talkative pineapple mouth

If I had money, they would ask me "Where did you earn them, without having trimmed

For society?"

But since I don't have any, you have to tell him why

It's never cushy, the pineapple seed

They tell me it's over, I tell you as they say

And hang me in the name of the law

And of the society, of the beautiful society which gets involved

To discard the pineapple seed

Gallows of oblivion, the bird makes its nest

Gentlemen crows will pass my skin

Like the sieve but before, I will have like the wind

Sow my pineapple seed somewhere.
