Si maman si – France Gall
Artist: France Gall
Si, maman si (If, mom if) is a song written and composed by Michel Berger and interpreted in 1977 by France Gall. It comes from the concept album Dancing Disco (1977), which is the second single to be released.
The singer evokes the frustration she encounters in her life, a life that is empty, and far from what she dreamed about. The text skilfully illustrates the sadness of a person who realises that she has not achieved their personal fulfilment. France Gall expresses a routine, a life without change where “… my holidays is always Paris …” Her friends are gone, she is alone, sad. Her future is not sure, and her heart is unhappy. She cries as she laughs, she does not know where to go, she does not know what she wants.

Lyrics
Tous mes amis sont partis
Mon cœur a déménagé
Mes vacances c’est toujours Paris
Mes projets c’est continuer
Mes amours c’est inventerSi, maman, si
Si, maman, si
Maman, si tu voyais ma vie
Je pleure comme je ris
Si, maman, si
Mais mon avenir reste gris
Et mon cœur aussiEt le temps défile comme un train
Et moi je suis à la fenêtre
Je suis si peu habile que demain
Le bonheur passera peut-être
Sans que je sache le reconnaîtreSi, maman, si
Si, maman, si
Maman, si tu voyais ma vie
Je pleure comme je ris
Si, maman, si
Mais mon avenir reste gris
Et mon cœur aussi
Mon cœur est confortable, bien au chaud
Et je lasse passer le vent
Mes envies s’éteignent, je leur tourne le dos
Et je m’endors doucement
Sans chaos ni sentimentSi, maman, si
Si, maman, si
Maman, si tu voyais ma vie
Je pleure comme je ris
Si, maman, si
Mais mon avenir reste gris
Et mon cœur aussiSi, maman, si
Si, maman, si
Maman, si tu voyais ma vie
Je pleure comme je ris
Si, maman, si
Mais mon avenir reste gris
Et mon cœur aussi
