J'ai vu ma ville, quand je te vois
J'ai vu ma ville partir en vrilles
J'ai vu ma ville partir en friches
J'ai vu ma ville comme je te vois
Même si je sais que tu t'en fiches
Que c'est pas ta ville à la finale
Que j'ferais mieux de me faire la main
Même si je sais que tu t'en fiches
Je vois ma ville porte coulée
Maison à vendre abandonnées
Les canapés sur le trottoir
Où quelques vieux viennent s'assoir
Je sens ma ville comme un amant,
Trompé par un riche imbécile
Je sens ma ville comme un aimant,
Ça me rend fou presque débile
La mort qui nous fait du charme
Et puis ils ont sorti les armes, les armes
Je traverse ma ville à perdre haleine
J'ai l'impression qu'elle raccourcit
Que l'amour rode sans merci
Est-ce de l'amour, ou de la haine?
Les enfants jouent à se braquer
Les écoles à des kilomètres
On comprend mieux pourquoi les maîtres
Ne fréquentent plus nos quartiers
Une jolie fille un mur en brique
Des kilomètres de voie ferrée
Les rues ne sont plus éclairées
Rien d'autre à faire que du trafic
Je vois ma ville comme un amant,
Trompé par un riche imbécile
Je vois ma ville comme un aimant,
Ça me rend fou presque débile
La mort qui nous fait du charme
Et puis ils ont sorti les armes
On entend parler la Calabre
De Palerme, et de Napoli
Brune aux yeux verts sous le ciel gris
Et la démarche qui se cabre
La méditerranée est là
Glacée dans son cadre de fer
De Rome jusqu'à Casablanca
Ils se partagent la poussière
Ils réinventent leur soleil
Leur musique et leurs habitudes
Leurs couleurs leurs piment pareil
Pour éviter la solitude, la solitude
Je sens ma ville comme un amant,
Trompé par un riche imbécile
Je sens ma ville comme un aimant,
Ça me rend fou presque débile
Je sens ma ville comme un amant,
Trompé par un riche imbécile
Je sens ma ville comme un aimant,
Ça me rend fou presque débile
Je sens ma ville comme un amant,
Trompé par un riche imbécile
Je sens ma ville comme un aimant,
Ça me rend fou presque débile
La mort qui nous fait du charme
Et puis ils ont sorti les armes, les armes
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.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
