Name: La Foule
Duration: P00H04M40S
Description: The song was made famous by Edith Piaf and has been played by many amazing artists. We are excited to make it ours and share it with you. We turned the regular waltz pulse into a more afro beat version, we twisted the intro to give a cajun funky flavor and we feature our superb Magali Sanscartier on vocals.

lyrics

Je revois la ville en fête et en délire
Suffoquant sous le soleil et sous la joie
Et j'entends dans la musique les cris, les rires
Qui éclatent et rebondissent autour de moi
Et perdue parmi ces gens qui me bousculent
Étourdie, désemparée, je reste là
Quand soudain, je me retourne, il se recule
Et la foule vient me jeter entre ses bras

Emportés par la foule qui nous traîne
Nous entraîne, écrasés l'un contre l'autre
Nous ne formons qu'un seul corps
Et le flot sans effort nous pousse, enchaînés l'un et l'autre
Et nous laisse tous deux épanouis, enivrés et heureux
Entraînés par la foule qui s'élance et qui danse
Une folle farandole, nos deux mains restent soudées
Et parfois soulevés nos deux corps enlacés s'envolent
Et retombent tous deux épanouis, enivrés et heureux

Et la joie éclaboussée par son sourire
Me transperce et rejaillit au fond de moi
Mais soudain je pousse un cri parmi les rires
Quand la foule vient l'arracher d'entre mes bras
Emportés par la foule qui nous traîne
Nous entraîne, nous éloigne l'un de l'autre
Je lutte et je me débats
Mais le son de ma voix s'étouffe dans les rires des autres
Et je crie de douleur, de fureur et de rage et je pleure
Et traînée par la foule qui s'élance et qui danse
Une folle farandole, je suis emportée au loin
Et je crispe mes poings, maudissant la foule qui me vole
L'homme qu'elle m'avait donné que je n'ai jamais retrouvé
