Cœur de pirate - Mistral Gagnant

Difficulty: Intermediate

Canada

Coeur de Pirate reprend la chanson populaire de Renaud "Mistral Gagnant". Dans cette chanson, Renaud chante à sa petite fille Lolita Séchan de sa propre enfance et réalise que le temps passe aussi vite que le rire de sa fille. Renaud utilisa beaucoup de noms de bonbons comme les bonbecs, les caramambars, les car en sac, ou les roudoudous. Le "mistral gagnant" était aussi une sorte de bonbon des années 60. Une première version était vendue dans des sachets verts où le mot « GAGNANT » pouvait se trouver à l'intérieur et autorisait l'échange de l'emballage vide contre un nouveau sachet. Le mistral gagnant était constitué d'une poudre sucrée et pétillante qui faisait penser au vent, le mistral.
