Petite fleur Paroles: Sidney Bechet & Fernand Bonifay. musique: Sidney Bechet 1958 Interprètes: Annie Cordy, Pétula Clark, Jacqueline François, Mouloudji, Anny Gould, Jean Raphaël J'ai caché Mieux que partout ailleurs Au jardin de mon cœur Une Petite fleur Cette fleur Plus jolie qu'un bouquet Elle garde en secret Tous mes rêves d'enfant L'amour de mes parents Et tous ces clairs matins Faits d'heureux souvenirs lointains Quand la vie Par moment me trahit Tu restes mon bonheur Petite fleur Sur mes vingt ans Je m'arrête un moment Pour respirer Ce parfum que j'ai tant aimé Dans mon cœur Tu fleuriras toujours Au grand jardin d'amour Petite fleur Prends ce présent Que j'ai toujours gardé Même à vingt ans Je ne l'avais jamais donné N'aie pas peur Cueillie au fond d'un cœur Une Petite fleur Jamais ne meurt.

Si les fleurs Qui bordent les chemins Se fanaient toutes demain Je garderais au cœur Celle qui S'allumait dans tes yeux Lorsque je t'aimais tant Au pays merveilleux De nos 16 printemps Petite fleur d'amour Tu fleuriras toujours Pour moi Quand la vie Par moments me trahit Tu restes mon bonheur Petite fleur Sur mes 20 ans Je m'arrête un moment Pour respirer Ce parfum que j'ai tant aimé Dans mon cœur Tu fleuriras toujours Au grand jardin d'amour Petite fleur

Don't waste a tear Because I know it's only practice when you care For someone else You live in fear Because you know it's only practice in a mirror And nothing else If I told you I really care I would be lying All I want is for you to let it go You're full of worries, it's getting tiring Why would you care what they all think? You know me better to be so scared to let me in I guess you caught me on a bad day But it's okay if you've got time You fuck me up so gladly Kinda telling you that I don't mind Don't waste a tear Because I know it's only practice when you care For someone else You're full of worries, it's getting tiring Why would you care what they all think? You know me better to be so scared to let me in I guess you caught me on a bad day But it's okay if you've got time You fuck me up so gladly Kinda telling you that I don't mind
