\u00c9coutez :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u266b<\/a> \u00ab Les vieux ne parlent plus, ou alors seulement, parfois, du bout des yeux \u00bb[1]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mais de qui Jacques Brel parle-t-il\u00a0?
Des vieux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vieux signifie qui ne fonctionne plus, qui arrive en fin de vie. On ne le jette pas, il a un bout de notre histoire dont il peut \u00eatre difficile de se s\u00e9parer. Un seul point de vue utilitaire ferait qu\u2019il serait jet\u00e9 et non nomm\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0vieux\u00a0\u00bb.
Quelle place alors pour du vie-eux\u00a0?
Eux, eux sans place.

Dans la salle d\u2019attente, ici, nous pourrions chanter\u00a0:
\u00ab\u00a0Les tortur\u00e9s ne parlent plus, \u266b\u2026
\u266b Les bannis ne parlent plus\u2026 \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Goguette des vieux<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u266b \u00ab\u00a0Les vieux ne parlent plus, ou alors seulement, parfois, du bout des yeux\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0
Ils n\u2019ont plus d\u2019avenir, leurs pays n\u2019est plus l\u00e0, personne n\u2019a besoin d\u2019eux.<\/em>
Est-ce l\u2019\u00e9puisement\u00a0? La surdit\u00e9\u00a0? Ce mot des yeux se perd \u00e0 jamais.\u00a0<\/em>
Qu\u2019ai-je perdu \u00e0 le voir s\u2019envoler\u00a0? peu importe je le remplacerai.<\/em>
Personne n\u2019entend plus cet \u00eatre sans vertus qui se tra\u00eene fantomatique,<\/em>
Toute loi, tout d\u00e9cret s\u2019\u00e9mousse et se noie dans son sourire contrit.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Et le temps d\u2019un soupir, entends-tu sous tes doigts le rythme de ce pouls,<\/em>
Qui dit oui, qui dit non, qui dit, je suis l\u00e0, dessous.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u266b<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u266a \u00ab <\/em>Les vieux ne r\u00eavent plus, leurs livres s\u2019ensommeillent, leurs koras<\/em> sont ferm\u00e9es \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nulle part nul oreiller ne peut plus recevoir sa t\u00eate fatigu\u00e9e.<\/em>
Vous surprendrez parfois, pendant votre voyage, ce reflet de vieillard, Inqui\u00e9tant, \u00e9tranger[2]<\/strong><\/a>, qui soudain se r\u00e9veille en levant le brouillard,<\/em>
Alors, vous vous reconnaitrez, effar\u00e9 et saisi, c\u2019est votre tour\u00a0!<\/em>
Impotent dissemblable, plus rien de familier, sous ces traits qui font jour.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Et le temps d\u2019un soupir, entends-tu sous tes doigts le rythme de ce fou,<\/em>
Qui dit oui, qui dit non, qui dit, je suis l\u00e0, dessous.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u266b<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u266a \u00ab Les vieux ne bougent plus, leurs gestes ont trop de rides, leur monde est trop petit \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il faut bien les soutenir, nous avons \u00e0 merci, la main d\u2019\u0153uvre de l\u2019exil,<\/em>
Et de l\u2019autre main, nous prenons, bienveillants, leurs \u00e9conomies d\u2019une vie<\/em>
Et pour en garder le b\u00e9n\u00e9fice, nous les pr\u00e9cipitons du lit au lit,<\/em>
Une couche pour la nuit, une couche pour la visite, une couche pour la survie.<\/em>
Est-ce d\u2019avoir trop rit que nous \u00e9teindrons toute forme de mutinerie\u00a0?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Et le temps d\u2019un soupir, entends-tu sous tes doigts le rythme de ce sourd<\/em>
Qui dit oui, qui dit non, qui dit, je suis l\u00e0, dessous.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u266b<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u266b \u00ab\u00a0Les vieux ne meurent pas, ils s\u2019endorment un jour et dorment trop longtemps\u00a0\u00bb

Il ne reste plus l\u00e0, imperturbable, que ce cadavre envahissant[3]<\/strong><\/a>.<\/em>
Vous la verrez parfois, sans une ride, pas 40ans, d\u00e9j\u00e0 une Ancienne,\u00a0<\/em>
-Zombie rescap\u00e9e d\u2019une savante agonie dans la terre qui \u00e9tait sienne-,<\/em>
De s\u2019inqui\u00e9ter d\u00e8s \u00e0 pr\u00e9sent du lieu de sa d\u00e9pouille loin d\u2019un ossuaire.<\/em>
Ce n\u2019est pas une chim\u00e8re, vous le savez, elle est notre dernier statut.<\/em>
Et face \u00e0 l\u2019Au-Del\u00e0, <\/em>qui<\/strong> nous prend par la main pour notre dernier salut\u00a0?<\/em>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Et le temps d\u2019un soupir, entends-tu sous tes doigts le rythme de ce rien,<\/em>
Qui dit oui, qui dit non, qui dit, je suis l\u00e0, dessous.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
