Poems, theirs and mine

Song for the Auvergnat, Chanson pour l’Auvergnat, by Georges Brassens, songs 2

It's for you, this song
You, the Auvergnat who without more ado
Gave me four sticks of firewood
When there was frost in my life

You who gave me fire when
The crunchers and the crunchers’ wife
All the people of good intent
Shut their door in my face.

It was nothing but a wood fire
But it warmed me to the core
And it burns yet in my soul
Like a fireworks display.

You, the Auvergnat, when you die
And body baggers take you away
Let them bring you across the sky
To Eternal Father
 
It's for you, this song
You, the hostess who without more ado
Gave me four bits of bread
When there was hunger in my life

You who opened your hutch when
The crunchers and the crunchers’ wife
All the people of good intent
Watched me fast with glee.

It was nothing but a bit of bread
But it warmed me to the core
And it shines yet in my soul
Like a banquet display

You, the hostess, when you die
And body baggers take you away
Let them bring you across the sky
To Eternal Father

It's for you, this song
You, the stranger who without more ado
Smiled sadly to me
When the cops caught up to me

You who didn’t applaud when
The crunchers and the crunchers’ wife
All the people of good intent
Saw me hauled away with glee

It was nothing but a little honey
But it warmed me to the core
And it burns yet in my soul
In a grand solar display

You, the stranger, when you die
And body baggers take you away
Let them bring you across the sky
To Eternal Father
