Je suis né dans une ville où tout est haut
Sous les cinquante étoiles d'un drapeau
Mon enfance joue quelque part dans la nuit
Sur un palier d'escalier d'incendie
Mais c'est en France que j'ai eu mes quinze ans
Soirs de danses, baisers de débutants
La première place en anglais
Le premier amour en français
Côté banjo there's always St. Francisco Bay
Côté violon toujours Paris au mois de mai
Côté raison, je me sens quelquefois d'ailleurs
Mais d'ici côté coeur
Et j'aime côté banjo les grands serments sur un gratte-ciel
Côté violon les petits dîners aux chandelles
Côté nana je suis de partout à la fois
Mais d'ici côté toi
Certains vont à Cannes pour finir leur vie
D'autres se rangent en Californie
Mais quand viendra l'heure de me retirer
Je serais sans doute bien embêté
À moins peut-être que j'aille passer gaiement
Ma retraite sur voilier tout blanc
Et couler des jours pacifiques
Au milieu du ciel atlantique
Côté banjo there's always St. Francisco Bay
Côté violon toujours Paris au mois de mai
Côté raison, je me sens quelquefois d'ailleurs
Mais d'ici côté coeur
Et j'aime côté banjo les grands serments sur un gratte-ciel
Côté violon les petits dîners aux chandelles
Côté nana je suis de partout à la fois
Mais d'ici côté toi
Et du côté banjo there's always St. Francisco Bay
Côté violon toujours Paris au mois de mai
Côté raison, je me sens quelquefois d'ailleurs
Mais d'ici côté coeur
Joe Dassin (Joseph Ira Dassin, 1938-1980) was an American-born French singer and songwriter. Considered one of the greatest French music artists of the 1960s and 1970s, Dassin captivated audiences with his warm voice and romantic, catchy songs. A polyglot, he could express himself and sing in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Greek. Born in New York to French parents, he moved to France at the age of 18 to pursue music. His breakthrough came with the song "Les Champs-Élysées" (1970), which became a national anthem of France. Among his most famous songs are also "Salut les copains", "Et si tu n'existais pas", and "Laissez-moi danser". Dassin collaborated with numerous French artists, including Claude François and Gilbert Bécaud. His music is still widely appreciated in France and around the world.
