Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song J'étais là , by - Zazie. Song from the album Les 50 plus belles chansons, in the genre ЭстрадаJ'étais là(original) |
| J'étais là tu vois, lui à côté de moi |
| On avait six ans |
| On jouait comme des enfants, au docteur |
| Au docteur |
| J'étais là, je voyais sur son corps les plaies |
| Les marques, les bleus |
| J’en croyais pas mes yeux |
| Mes yeux |
| Et lui qui m’disait «J'suis un dur |
| Tu vois les brûlures là, sur mes bras |
| J’les sens pas |
| J’les sens pas» |
| J'étais là, j’ai rien dit |
| Et puis j’suis partie de chez lui |
| Si j’y suis retournée? |
| Plus jamais |
| Plus jamais |
| J'étais là, comme lui, j’avais quinze ans à peine |
| On était dans la cave, chez ses parents |
| Je l’aimais tant |
| Faut dire qu’il était beau, mais il se piquait, mon héros, à l’héro |
| J'étais là quand sa mère est venue me dire |
| «C'est fini ! |
| On l’enterre lundi |
| Lundi» |
| J’ai pleuré bien sûr, j’ai pleuré |
| Puis j’ai recommencé à traîner dehors |
| Dehors |
| J'étais là en octobre quatre-vingts, après la bombe Copernic |
| Oui, j'étais à la manif |
| Avec tous mes copains |
| J'étais là, c’est vrai qu’on n’y comprenait rien |
| Mais on trouvait ça bien |
| Ça bien |
| Oui, j'étais là pour aider |
| Pour le sida, les sans-papiers |
| J’ai chanté |
| Chanté |
| Sûr que j'étais là pour faire la fête |
| Et j’ai levé mon verre à ceux qui n’ont plus rien |
| Encore un verre, on n’y peut rien |
| J'étais là devant ma télé à vingt heures |
| J’ai vu le monde s’agiter |
| S’agiter |
| J'étais là, je savais tout de la Somalie |
| Du Bengladesh et du Rwanda |
| J'étais là |
| J’ai bien vu le sort que le Nord réserve au Sud |
| Bien compris le mépris |
| J'étais là pour compter les morts |
| J'étais là et je n’ai rien fait |
| Et je n’ai rien fait |
| J'étais là pourtant |
| J'étais là et je n’ai rien fait |
| Je n’ai rien fait |
| (translation) |
| I was there you see, him next to me |
| We were six |
| We played like kids, doctor |
| To the doctor |
| I was there, I saw on his body the wounds |
| The marks, the bruises |
| I couldn't believe my eyes |
| My eyes |
| And he who told me "I'm a tough guy |
| You see the burns there on my arms |
| I don't feel them |
| I don't feel them" |
| I was there, I said nothing |
| And then I left his house |
| If I went back? |
| Never again |
| Never again |
| I was there, like him, I was barely fifteen |
| We were in the cellar, at his parents' house |
| I loved him so much |
| Must say he was handsome, but he prided himself, my hero, on the hero |
| I was there when his mother came to tell me |
| "It's finish ! |
| We bury him on Monday |
| Monday" |
| I cried of course, I cried |
| Then I started hanging out again |
| Outside |
| I was there in October eighties, after the Copernicus bomb |
| Yes, I was at the protest |
| With all my friends |
| I was there, it's true that we didn't understand anything |
| But we thought it was good |
| It's good |
| Yes, I was there to help |
| For AIDS, Undocumented |
| I sang |
| Sung |
| Sure I was there to party |
| And I raised my glass to those who have nothing left |
| One more drink, we can't help it |
| I was there in front of my TV at eight o'clock |
| I saw the world shake |
| fidget |
| I was there, I knew all about Somalia |
| From Bangladesh and Rwanda |
| I was there |
| I have seen the fate that the North has in store for the South |
| Well understood the contempt |
| I was there to count the dead |
| I was there and I did nothing |
| And I did nothing |
| I was there though |
| I was there and I did nothing |
| I did not do anything |
