C'était un homme(original) |
| Oh c’est pour vous dire |
| Oh se souvenir |
| Et pour vous raconter |
| D’où je suis née |
| Près d’Auschwitz |
| Mon père grandissait |
| C'était un juif polonais |
| Aux Beaux Arts à Cracovie |
| Il rêve de Paris |
| Et puis la guerre l’a surpris |
| Ils l’ont pris à 19 ans |
| Il fit pendant ces cinq ans |
| Neufs camps différents |
| Un homme |
| C'était un homme |
| Difforme |
| Dans sa personne |
| Dont le for intérieur |
| Avait encore peur |
| Mais toujours lui est resté |
| Le sens de la beauté |
| On m’a dit quand tout s'écroulait |
| Comme il dessinait |
| Comme il résistait |
| Miracle, il en est sorti |
| Il a réussi à tenir |
| Et à venir à Paris |
| Peindre et donner la vie |
| Oh c’est pour vous dire |
| Se souvenir |
| Et pour vous raconter |
| (translation) |
| Oh just to tell you |
| Oh to remember |
| And to tell you |
| Where I was born |
| Near Auschwitz |
| my father was growing up |
| He was a Polish Jew |
| At the Fine Arts in Krakow |
| He dreams of Paris |
| And then the war surprised him |
| They took him at 19 |
| He did during these five years |
| Nine different camps |
| A man |
| He was a man |
| Deformed |
| In his person |
| Whose innermost |
| was still scared |
| But he always remained |
| The sense of beauty |
| They told me when it all came crashing down |
| As he drew |
| As he resisted |
| Miracle he came out |
| He managed to hold |
| And to come to Paris |
| Paint and give life |
| Oh just to tell you |
| To remember |
| And to tell you |
