Petit bonhomme
Georges Chelon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Il va son petit bonhomme de chagrin
Il sort d'un amour impossible
Le cœur percé comme une cible
Il court vers un amour sans lendemain {x2}
{Refrain:}
Qu'as-tu fait au bon Dieu pour être si malheureux
Qu'as-tu fait au bon Dieu ? Demande-lui un peu
Qu'il t'accorde une part de chance
Il va son petit bonhomme de chemin
Il va son petit bonhomme de chagrin
Il avait un air dans la tête
La chanson lui venait toute faite
Il dit bonjour et il perd son refrain {x2}
{au Refrain}
Il va son petit bonhomme de chemin
Il va son petit bonhomme de chagrin
On lui propose l'aventure
Sur un bateau qui avait fière allure
Dommage, il n'avait pas le pied marin {x2}
{au Refrain}
Il va son petit bonhomme de chemin
Il va son petit bonhomme de chagrin
Un jour, il se lève aux aurores
Il allait au rendez-vous de la mort
C'est bête, il s'était trompé de matin {x2}
{au Refrain}
{x2:}
Il va son petit bonhomme de chemin
Il va son petit bonhomme de chagrin
The song "Petit bonhomme" by Georges Chelon talks about a man who is going through difficult times in his life but keeps moving forward despite the adversity. The lyrics describe this man as someone who is going through a painful experience of a failed relationship, and he is trying to overcome the heartbreak by going towards something new. He is persistent and focused, and even though he is carrying the burden of his past, he is not giving up on love.
The chorus of the song asks the question, "What did you do to God to be so unhappy? To never be part of the dance? What did you do to God? Ask him for a little chance." The lyrics suggest that even though the man is strong and determinate, he is still left wondering why he has to endure such sadness and why he hasn't been given a fair chance at happiness. However, he keeps pushing forward, which shows that he is not ready to give up on life just yet.
Overall, "Petit bonhomme" is a song that speaks of resilience in the face of adversity. It encourages listeners to keep going even when going forward feels impossible. Through its powerful lyrics, the song teaches us that even though life may not always be perfect, it's still worth living.
