Ballade En Blanc
Julien Clerc · Les 100 Plus Belles Chansons [2006]
Les Rois du ciel sur terre
Qui parlent d'Amour
En s'interdisant de la faire...
Blanc,
Les chèques du prix de la guerre,
Du matériel et des misères...
En blanc,
Les mariages et les chimères,
Les trahisons, les adultères...
Blanc,
Le chat qui méprise les gris,
Les tigres, les insoumis...
Blanc,
Qui envahit et qui détruit
L'Amérique en quelques nuits...
Blanches,
Les tuniques sévères
Des gardes Blancs de cette terre.
Blanche,
Blanche la mort qui sort
De la bouche du fusil...
Voilà peut-être pourquoi,
Mon Amour, certains soirs,
Il fait bon d'être un peu noir.
Mon Amour, certains soirs,
Il fait bon d'être un peu noir.
