Septembre est venu dans la lumière
J'ai jeté mon sac à l'hôtel du port
Un goût de sel sur une paupière brulée
J'veux savoir si tu m'aimes encore,
si tu m'aimes encore,

Accoudé au bar de l'univers
C'est l'heure où la bière se transforme en or
Un soleil rouge éclaire nos voiles usées
J'veux savoir si tu m'aimes encore,

Criolla
Ce soir je chanterai pour toi
Criolla
J'ai composé d'autres sambas
Je veux d'alcool et des chansons
Je veux les fruits de la passion
Tu verras au fond de mes yeux
Beaucoup de visages
Marins perdus, frères déchirés
Par les grands orages
Il y a trois sortes de gens
Les morts et les vivants
Et ceux qui sont en mer

La plage est déserte, j'entends la mer
Battre les remparts de Saint-Malo
Murs de granit que rien ne peut tomber
Dites-moi, si elle m'aime encore
J'ai le cœur gonflé d'un mal étrange
Comme les immigrants et les étrangers
Je ne sais pas si je dérange encore
Je n'sais rien, je viens d'arriver

Criolla
Ce soir tu danserais pour moi
Criolla
Dans le bar du tropicana
Chansons de mer, chansons d'amour
Au fond des verres, on voit le jour
Si tu veux encore de ma peau
De mes tatouages
Je dormirais dans ton lit clos
Très loin des nuages
Si rien n'est plus comme avant
Je s'rais un mort vivant
Comme ceux qui sont en mer

J'ai ramené du rhum de Jamaïque
Et des champignons du Mexique
J't'ai ramené des fleurs des tropiques
Et des gris-gris du Centre-Afrique
Des odeurs du sang d'la musique
Des couleurs et des cicatrices
J'ai brûlé les bougies du saint
Arrosées de mon sang carmin
J'appelle Yemanja de la mer
Celle qui tue ou bien espère

La nuit est tombée sur mes prières
Elle s'est endormie à l'hôtel du port
Mon goût de sel sur sa crinière mouillée
Avec elle, je voyage encore...
je voyage encore... je voyage encore...

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Bernard Lavilliers is a French singer-songwriter born in Saint-Étienne in 1946. Coming from a modest family, he developed a passion for music at the age of four. After working in a factory, he joined the Communist Party to defend his ideals and in 1965 left for Brazil, an experience that deeply marked his worldview. His return to France led him to be considered a draft dodger and imprisoned for a year. He began singing in cabarets and in 1967 released his first single. In 1968 he released his first album, simply titled "Lavilliers", which later became his stage name. Throughout the 1970s, he achieved success with albums such as "Les poètes" (1972), "Le Stéphanois" (1975) and especially "Les Barbares" (1976). The latter consecrated him as one of the most important French singer-songwriters. Lavilliers is known for his songs that often deal with social, political and travel themes. Among his most representative tracks are "Le Grand Bleu", "La Ballade de la rue des Amants" and "Les Barbares". In 1992 he sang alongside Léo Ferré at the fête de l'Humanité. In 2004 he released the album "Carnets de bord", an ode to travel, and in 2005 the book 'Bernard Lavilliers, Escales' by Gert-Peter Bruch was published.
