Charles Trénet

Louis Charles Auguste Claude Trenet, known as Charles Trenet (French pronunciation: ​[ʃaʁl tʁəne];18 May, 1913 – 19 February, 2001) was a French singer and songwriter, most famous for his recordings from the late 1930s until the mid-1950s, though his career continued through the 1990s. In an era in which it was exceptional for a singer to write his or her own material, Trenet wrote prolifically and declined to record any but his own songs. more »

La Cigale, ayant chanté tout l'été,
Se trouva fort dépourvue
Quand la bise fut venue:
Pas un seul petit morceau
De mouche ou de vermisseau.
Elle alla crier famine
Chez la Fourmi sa voisine,
La priant de lui prêter
Quelques grains pour subsister
Jusqu'à la saison nouvelle.
"Je vous paierai, lui dit-elle,
Avant l'août, foi d'animal,
Intérêt et principal."
La Fourmi n'est pas prêteuse:
C'est là son moindre défaut.
Que faisiez-vous au temps chaud?
Dit-elle à cette emprunteuse.
- Nuit et jour à tout venant
Je chantais, ne vous déplaise.
- Vous chantiez? j'en suis fort aise.
Eh bien! dansez maintenant.
