Lyrics:

Padam Padam


Cet air qui m'obsède jour et nuit
Cet air n'est pas né d'aujourd'hui
Il vient d'aussi loin que je viens
Traîné par cent mille musiciens
Un jour cet air me rendra folle
Cent fois j'ai voulu dire pourquoi
Mais il m'a coupé la parole
Il parle toujours avant moi
Et sa voix couvre ma voix

Padam...padam...padam...
Il arrive en courant derrière moi
Padam...padam...padam...
Il me fait le coup du souviens-toi
Padam...padam...padam...
C’est un air qui me montre du doigt
et je traine apres moi comme une drole d’erreur
Cet air qui sait tout par coeur

Il dit: "Rappelle-toi tes amours
Rappelle-toi puisque c'est ton tour
'y a pas d'raison pour qu'tu n'pleures pas
Avec tes souvenirs sur les bras ».
Et moi je revois ceux qui restent
Mes vingt ans font battre tambour
Je vois s'entrebattre des gestes
Toute la comédie des amours
Sur cet air qui va toujours

Padam...padam...padam...
Ces "je t’aime » de 14 juillet
Padam...padam...padam...
Des "toujours" qu'on achète au rabais
Padam...padam...padam...
Ces veux-tu en voila par parquets
Et tout ca pour tomber jusqu’au coin d’ la rue
Cet air qui m’a reconnue
Écoutez le chahut qu'il me fait
Comme si tout mon passe defilait
Faut garder du chagrin pour après
J'en ai tout un solfège sur cet air qui bat
Qui bat comme un cœur de bois.

English translation of lyrics:

Padam Padam

This tune which haunts me day and night
This tune wasn't written today
It comes from as far away as I come
Dragged around by a hundred thousand musicains
One day this tune will drive me mad
A hundred times I've wanted to say why
But it's interrupted me
It always speaks before i do
And its voice drowns out my voice

Padam...padam...padam
It comes running up behind me
Padam...padam...padam
It plays me the trick of: do you remember
Padam...padam...padam
It is a tune that points me out
And I drag after me like a mistake child
This tune that knows everything by heart

It says: "Remember your loves
Remember because it's your turn
There's no reason why you shouldn't cry
Encumbered with your memories
"And me, I see again those who remain
My 20 years * make the drum beat
I see the succession of gestures flash by
All the comedy of love
To this tune which just keeps playing

Padam...padam...padam
The "I love you"s of 14th July **
Padam...padam...padam...
The "always" that you buy dirt cheap
Padam...padam...padam
The "would you's" are there in piles
And all this to come upon on the corner of the street
This tune that recognised me

Listen to the commotion which it causes me
As if my whole past went marching by
Need to keep some sorrow for later
I've got scores full in this tune which beats.
Which beats like a wooden heart
