DIEU FUMEUR DE HAVANES
Du film "Je Vous Aime"
Serge Gainsbourg & Cathérine Deneuve (France)

Dieu est un fumeur de havanes
Je vois ses nuages gris
Je sais qu'il fume même la nuit
Comme moi ma chérie

Tu n'es qu'un fumeur de gitanes
Je vois tes volutes bleues
Me faire parfois venir les larmes aux yeux
Tu es mon maître après Dieu

Dieu est un fumeur de havanes
C'est lui-même qui m'a dit
Que la fumée envoie au paradis
Je le sais ma chérie

Tu n'es qu'un fumeur de gitanes
Sans elles tu es malheureux
Au clair de ma lune, ouvre les yeux
Pour l'amour de Dieu

Dieu est un fumeur de havanes
Tout près de toi, loin de lui
J'aimerais te garder toute ma vie
Comprends-moi ma chérie

Tu n'es qu'un fumeur de gitanes
Et la dernière je veux
La voir briller au fond de mes yeux
Aime-moi nom de Dieu

Dieu est un fumeur de havanes
Tout près de toi, loin de lui
J'aimerais te garder toute ma vie
Comprends-moi ma chérie

Tu n'es qu'un fumeur de gitanes
Et la dernière je veux
La voir briller au fond de mes yeux
Aime-moi nom de Dieu
.....................................

Mais au delà des CHOSES - la vie, et au delà de la vie - l'amour,
et au delà de l'amour il y a la muse C. pour toujours.

wonderful! love the idea of god smoking havana cigars! had not read this before. :) (my father used to smoke them when they could be found. :))

Zut alors! I was looking at other peoples' answers to this and the picture of the Gitanes pack brought back many memories for me. Of Florida, not of France, but the world is strange. You can't get Gitanes in the States anymore, alas; I used to smoke the unfiltered ones constantly.

good call!:))

bu-ut actually the list of C's is pretty long - Cocteau, Catherine Deneuve, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Charlie Chaplin, Cat Woman ad lib to fade...

[identity profile] wytchcroft.livejournal.com 2009-07-15 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah, (sigh), me too, at least i can still get the filtered, but it's getting harder all the time! :))

old Serge was a wit when he wanted to be! ))

I can't even get Gauloises anymore! I make do with unfiltered Camels but the French tobacco can't be imitated.

[identity profile] wytchcroft.livejournal.com 2009-07-15 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
especially since Camels stopped using Turkish tobacco and changed to generic crap:(

still, laugh - the French hate Gitanes! They all smoke fucking Lucky Strike!! LOL:))

[identity profile] alagbon.livejournal.com 2009-07-15 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Lucky Strikes? Seriously? Oy. And my second-favorite cigarettes were the Turkish State Monopoly ones, which were delicious but a wee bit hard to find. They disappeared at about the same time as Gitanes, alas. I have some old-school (i.e. without molasses) Lebanese hookah tobacco that tastes like the Turkish cigarettes, but the cut is different and the leaves are surprisingly thick, so I'm not sure I could roll my own with that...

J'adore cette chanson interprétée par Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg et de la nouvelle musique de Christophe Willem.

[identity profile] wytchcroft.livejournal.com 2009-07-15 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Oui, c'est merveilleux!:))

[identity profile] wytchcroft.livejournal.com 2009-07-15 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds nice though!

[identity profile] alagbon.livejournal.com 2009-07-15 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
It's great stuff.

HA! You know what is really sad? I can barely speak my mother tongue anymore. I've been gone too long. When I speak Afrikaans to Afrikaans speaking people in SA they change over to English to accommodate me. Now that is a bloody insult. *nods* *g*

[identity profile] wytchcroft.livejournal.com 2009-07-15 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL! i get that now when i go back to London, its true!
Southerners all start to talk very slowly and make like i'm an idiot coz (to them) i now sound Northern! :))

so is The Thing With Two Heads!:)) Love that movie.

i enjoyed your haikus - couldn't leave a comment on your page, the LJ goat's been kicking merry hell outta me this week.

[identity profile] alagbon.livejournal.com 2009-07-17 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you!

Frank moves in mysterious ways; I haven't had any untoward goat experiences in quite some time, knock on whatever the computer desk is made out of.

Also, would you mind if I added you? You seem like someone I'd get along with.

ah sweet flattery - go for it:)

[identity profile] alagbon.livejournal.com 2009-07-18 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
Groovy! It has been done.

C'est bonne! Fumez-vous des gitanes en raison de cette chanson? Ou font vous aiment cette chanson parce que vous fumez des gitanes?

(Pardon my French, but it's been many, many, many years since I spoke it fluently, and I fear my grammar is way off.)
