Les Amoureux Des Bancs Publics
Georges Brassens Lyrics
Les gens qui voient de travers pensent que les bancs verts
Qu'on voit sur les trottoirs
Sont faits pour les impotents ou les ventripotents
Mais c'est une absurdité car à la vérité, ils sont là c'est notoire
Pour accueillir quelque temps les amours débutants
Les amoureux qui s'bécotent sur les bancs publics
Bancs publics, bancs publics
En s'foutant pas mal du regard oblique des passants honnêtes
Les amoureux qui s'bécotent sur les bancs publics
En s'disant des "je t'aime" pathétiques
Ont des petites gueules bien sympathiques
Ils se tiennent par la main, parlent du lendemain, du papier bleu d'azur
Que revêtiront les murs de leur chambre à coucher
Ils se voient déjà doucement elle cousant, lui fumant dans un bien-être sûr
Et choisissent les prénoms de leur premier bébé
Les amoureux qui s'bécotent sur les bancs publics
Bancs publics, bancs publics
En s'foutant pas mal du regard oblique des passants honnêtes
Les amoureux qui s'bécotent sur les bancs publics
Bancs publics, bancs publics
En s'disant des "je t'aime" pathétiques
Ont des p'tites gueules bien sympathiques
Quand la sainte famille machin croise sur son chemin deux de ces malappris
Elle leur décoche hardiment des propos venimeux
N'empêche que toute la famille
Le père, la mère, la fille, le fils, le Saint Esprit
Voudrait bien de temps en temps pouvoir s'conduire comme eux
Les amoureux qui s'bécotent sur les bancs publics
Bancs publics, bancs publics
En s'foutant pas mal du regard oblique des passants honnêtes
Les amoureux qui s'bécotent sur les bancs publics
Bancs publics, bancs publics
En s'disant des "je t'aime" pathétiques
Ont des p'tites gueules bien sympathiques
Quand les mois auront passé, quand seront apaisés leurs beaux rêves flambants
Quand leur ciel se couvrira de gros nuages lourds
Ils s'apercevront émus qu'c'est au hasard des rues sur un d'ces fameux bancs
Qu'ils ont vécu le meilleur morceau de leur amour
Les amoureux qui s'bécotent sur les bancs publics
Bancs publics, bancs publics
En s'foutant pas mal du regard oblique des passants honnêtes
Les amoureux qui s'bécotent sur les bancs publics
Bancs publics, bancs publics
En s'disant des "je t'aime" pathétiques
Ont des p'tites gueules bien sympathiques

Georges Brassens was a French singer and songwriter known for accompanying himself with his acoustic guitar. He wrote some extremely controversial, yet poetic songs. In doing so, he managed to change attitudes across France.
He was uncompromising when composing his songs. His tactical method of addressing issues was profound and often humorous, making him a unique and effective figure in the French community.

He was uncompromising when composing his songs. His tactical method of addressing issues was profound and often humorous, making him a unique and effective figure in the French community.
Brassens, born in 1921 in the small Mediterrenean port of Sete, wanted to be a poet. He realized very early however that poetry in the 20th century could hardly put bread on the table and instead set himself to become a singer.
He is much less famous internationally than contemporaries like Charles Aznavour, Edith Piaf and Yves Montand, as much of the impact of his songs came from the lyrics, which proved difficult to translate into other languages. He loved the Middle Ages and used a great deal of Old French vocabulary, as well as many classical - ie., Latin and Greek - references. Few people, even in France, possess the background to fully understand his songs.
Yet he was at the same time a hugely popular singer and many of his songs still carry a lot of appeal and relevance. In this sense, he can be compared to Boris Vian, to Jacques Brel, and to a lesser extent to Serge Gainsbourg.
He was very sophisticated, yet at the same time used profanity liberally. While he wasn't politically engaged, he was nevertheless unambiguously a leftist, many of his songs carrying blatant and buoyant anarchist overtones.
While his music was initially quite primitive, the 1950's St-Germain-des-Pres influence quickly made itself felt and while subdued and - in his mind - always secondary to the lyrics, it became increasingly sophisticated - to the point that many of his songs have been covered and reinterpretated by jazzmen (see for instance this UK site: www.projetbrassens.eclipse.co.uk)
He died in 1981, but up to this date (2006) there are few French people - including most of those born since - who can't sing along to his most famous song, Les Copains d'abord ("Friends foremost") or his "Bancs public" ("Public Benches").
For those interested, this site carries a number of (quite good) English tranlations of his songs: www.brassens.org

Les gens qui voient de travers
Pensent que les bancs verts
Qu'on voit sur les trottoirs
Sont faits pour les impotents ou les ventripotents
Mais c'est une absurdité
Car à la vérité
Ils sont là c'est notoire
Pour accueillir quelque temps les amours débutants
Les amoureux qui s'bécott'nt sur les bancs publics
Bancs publics, bancs publics
En s'fouttant pas mal du regard oblique
Des passants honnêtes
Les amoureux qui s'bécott'nt sur les bancs publics
Bancs publics, bancs publics
En s'disant des "Je t'aime" pathétiques
Ont des p'tit's gueul' bien sympatiques
Ils se tiennent par la main
Parlent du lendemain
Du papier bleu d'azur
Que revêtiront les murs de leur chambre à coucher
Ils se voient déjà doucement
Ell' cousant, lui fumant
Dans un bien-être sûr
Et choisissent les prénoms de leur premier bébé
Les amoureux qui s'bécott'nt sur les bancs publics
Bancs publics, bancs publics
En s'fouttant pas mal du regard oblique
Des passants honnêtes
Les amoureux qui s'bécott'nt sur les bancs publics
Bancs publics, bancs publics
En s'disant des "Je t'aime" pathétiques
Ont des p'tit's gueul' bien sympatiques
Quand la saint' famill' machin
Croise sur son chemin
Deux de ces malappris
Ell' leur décoche hardiment des propos venimeux
N'empêch' que tout' la famille
Le pèr', la mèr', la fille
Le fils, le Saint Esprit
Voudrait bien de temps en temps pouvoir s'conduir' comme eux

Quand les mois auront passé
Quand seront apaisés
Leurs beaux rêves flambants
Quand leur ciel se couvrira de gros nuages lourds
Ils s'apercevront émus
Qu' c'est au hasard des rues
Sur un d'ces fameux bancs
Qu'ils ont vécu le meilleur morceau de leur amour
Les amoureux qui s'bécott'nt sur les bancs publics
Bancs publics, bancs publics
En s'fouttant pas mal du regard oblique
Des passants honnêtes
Les amoureux qui s'bécott'nt sur les bancs publics
Bancs publics, bancs publics
En s'disant des "Je t'aime" pathétiques

@Thomas Hivernat J'aime bien Correa! Tu es francais?

A chaque fois que je m'assoie sur un banc public, je pense direct à ce chef d’œuvre de Brassens.... un poète contemporain qui s'est servi de la musique pour diffuser son talent littéraire que nous arrivons à difficilement à trouver de nos jours.
