Les Restos Du Coeur
Words and music: Jean-Jacques Goldman
(c) Restaurants du Coeur
1 I'm going on a date those who have nothing left
Without ideology, speeches or bullshit
We won't always promise you the big night
But just for the winter to eat and drink.
To all those left behind by age and unemployment
Those deprived of the cake, those excluded from sharing
If we think of you, it is in fact selfish
Tomorrow our names will perhaps add to the list.
La La La La...
R Today, we no longer have the right
Neither to be hungry, nor to be cold
Go beyond every man for himself
When I think of you, I think of me.
I don't promise you great evening
But just to eat and drink
A little bread and warmth
In the restaurants, the Restos du Coeur
Today, we no longer have the right neither to be hungry nor to be cold
2 In the past, we always kept a place at the table
A chair, a soup, a corner in the stable.
Today, our eyelids and our doors are closed
The others are always, always overdosing.
I don't have a bad conscience, it doesn't stop me from sleeping
But to be honest it spoils the taste of our pleasures a little.
It's not really my fault if some people are hungry
But it would become so if we don't change anything.
3 I don't have a solution to change your life
But if I can help you for a few hours, let's do it
There's definitely something other miseries, too many for an inventory
But it happens here, here and today.
