Re: LQD: Blessed Are the Fundsmakers (none / 1)
Pour chanter Veni Creator
Il faut avoir chasuble d'or
Pour chanter Veni Creator
Il faut avoir chasuble d'or
Nous en tissons pour vous, Grands de l'Eglise,
Et nous, pauvres canuts, n'avons pas de chemises !

Refrain
C'est nous les canuts,
Nous allons tout nus !

...

Mais notre règne arrivera
Quand votre règne finira.
Mais notre règne arrivera
Quand votre règne finira.
Nous tisserons le linceul du vieux monde,
Car on entend déjà la révolte qui gronde !

Refrain
C'est nous les canuts,
Nous n'irons plus nus !

La chanson des Canuts, Lyon, 1831.

"Dieu se rit des hommes qui se plaignent des conséquences alors qu'ils en chérissent les causes" Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet
