A song from early in the career of singer/songwriter Serge Gainsbourg, 1962, about hard life and downfall of a street musician. Some say the song was written for Juliette Greco who performs it live here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uad03ciLaPo

Actor Philippe Clay performs it on French TV with Serge Gainsbourg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEE1xaT5DfE
Thanks to philipchek of YouTube and Paris for finding this song for me , for correcting my translation and supplying background information and pictures.
Thanks to star accordionists Jasmine Vegas and Martyn Jacques of the Tiger LIllies for appearing in this video also to the accordionists of the streets whose names we don't know but whose music enlivens us just the same.
