Le malheur avait mis
les habits du mensonge
Ils étaient d’un beau rouge
couleur du sang du cœur
Mais son cœur à lui était gris

Penché sur la margelle
il me chantait l’amour
Sa voix grinçait comme la poulie
Et moi
dans mon costume de vérité
je me taisais et je riais
et je dansais
au fond du puits
Et sur l’eau qui riait aussi
la lune brillait contre le malheur
la lune se moquait de lui.


Jacques Prévert
