Prière Païenne

Jacques Brel (French pronunciation: [ʒak bʁɛl]; 8 April 1929 – 9 October 1978) was a Belgian singer-songwriter who composed and performed literate, thoughtful, and theatrical songs that generated a large, devoted following in France initially, and later throughout the world.

N'est-il pas vrai Marie que c'est prier pour vous
Que de lui dire «Je t'aime» en tombant à genoux?
N'est-il pas vrai Marie que c'est prier pour vous
Que pleurer de bonheur en riant comme un fou
Que couvrir de tendresse nos païennes amours
C'est fleurir de prières chaque nuit, chaque jour?

N'est-il pas vrai Marie que c'est chanter pour vous
Que semer nos chemins, de simple poésie?
N'est-il pas vrai Marie que c'est chanter pour vous
Que voir en chaque chose, une chose jolie
Que chanter pour l'enfant qui bientôt nous viendra
C'est chanter pour l'Enfant qui repose en vos bras?

N'est-il pas vrai Marie?
N'est-il pas vrai Marie?
