Capo I
1 Don't tell me that this boy was crazy
He didn't live like the others, that's all
And for what strange reasons
People who are not like us
It bothers us
Don't tell me this boy was worthless
He had chosen another path
And for what strange reasons
People who think differently
It bothers us, it bothers us
R1 He played the piano standing up
That may be a detail for you
But for me it means a lot
It means that he was free , happy to be there
Despite everything
He played the piano standing up
When the cowards are on their knees
And the soldiers stand at attention
Simply on his two feet, he wanted to be him
You understand
2 It was only for his music that he was patriotic
He would have died on the field of honor for a few notes
br/>And for what strange reasons
People who hold on to their dreams
It bothers us
Him and his piano, they cried sometimes
But it 'is when the others weren't there
And for what strange reason
His age marked my memory
My memory
R2 He played the piano standing up
That may be a detail for you
But for me it means a lot
It means that he was free
Happy to be there, despite everything.
He played the piano standing up
He sang to crazy rhythms
But for me, it means a lot
à It means try to live
Try to be happy, it's worth it.
