Paroles et traduction Edith Piaf - Le diable de la Bastille (Live October 10, 1962)

Le diable de la Bastille (Live October 10, 1962)

C'est incroyable mais vrai,
Invraisemblable mais vrai.
C'est le diable qui dansait
Au quatorze juillet,
Place de la Bastille.
C'est incroyable mais vrai,
Invraisemblable mais vrai.
Il savait bien, le malin,
Qu'il tenait dans ses mains
Le destin d'une fille
Car il est joli gar? on,
Il conna? t bien la chanson.
A la flamme des lampions,
Au son d' l'accord? on,
Il est m? connaissable
Et la fille n'a rien vu.
Elle ne l'a pas reconnu.
Tourbillonnant dans ses bras,
Elle trouvait, ce soir-l?,
Que c'? tait formidable.
A dix-huit ans, on a le droit
De se tromper? ce point-l?
Tant le d? mon a l'air si bon.
On peut l'aimer sans se damner.
C'est incroyable mais vrai,
Invraisemblable mais vrai.
C'est le diable qui dansait
Au quatorze juillet,
Place de la Bastille.
C'est incroyable mais vrai,
Invraisemblable mais vrai.
Il savait bien, le malin,
Qu'il tenait dans ses mains
Le destin d'une fille.
Vraiment, il se r? galait,
Il rigolait, rigolait.
Puisque la vie? tait belle,
Elle trouvait naturel
Qu'il ait envie de rire.
Elle s'est abandonn? e.
C'? tait vraiment bon march?,
C'? tait vraiment trop facile,
Une? me aussi docile.
'Y avait pas de quoi rire.
C'est incroyable mais vrai.
C'est le diable qui dansait,
C'est le diable qui riait,
C'est le diable que j'aimais.
Le diable que j'aimais...
Le diable que j'aimais...
Le diable que j'aimais...

The Devil of the Bastille (Live October 10, 1962)

It's incredible but true,
Unbelievable but true.
It was the devil who danced
On the fourteenth of July,
Place de la Bastille.
It's incredible but true,
Unbelievable but true.
He knew very well, the sly one,
That he held in his hands
The destiny of a girl.
For he is a handsome guy,
He knows the song well.
By the light of the lanterns,
To the sound of the accordion,
He is unrecognizable
And the girl saw nothing.
She did not recognize him.
Whirling in his arms,
She found, that night,
That it was wonderful.
At eighteen, we have the right
To make a mistake at that point.
So much the demon appears so good.
One can love him without being damned.
It's incredible but true,
Unbelievable but true.
It was the devil who danced
On the fourteenth of July,
Place de la Bastille.
It's incredible but true,
Unbelievable but true.
He knew very well, the sly one,
That he held in his hands
The destiny of a girl.
Really, he was having a great time,
He was laughing, laughing.
Since life was beautiful,
She found it natural
That he wanted to laugh.
She abandoned herself.
It was really cheap,
It was really too easy,
A soul so docile.
There was nothing to laugh about.
It's incredible but true.
It's the devil who danced,
It's the devil who laughed,
It's the devil I loved.
The devil I loved...
The devil I loved...
The devil I loved...
