The greatest have sung
On the way
The greatest have sung
“Here for one hundred francs of the thym from the scrubland
A little bit of saffron and a kilo of figs.
A beautiful tray of peaches or apricots
Here is the tarragon and the beautiful shallot
The beautiful fish of Marie-Charlotte.
Would you like a bouquet of lavender
Or some carnations?
And above all this there’s the accent that goes with.“
Thyme of the scrubland, a little saffron and a kilo of figs, a nice tray of peaches or apricots?
Here is the tarragon and the beautiful shallot, the pretty fish, a bouquet of lavender.
And in addition, the Mediterranean sun.
Gilbert Bécaud / Louis Amade
