Gente fina - outra coisa
Distingué - c'est une autre chose
Gente coisa - outra fina
Tu le vis ou tu l'imagines
Ma chanson fait le tour de la favela ou d'une tour
Se méfie du serpent - monétaire - évidemment
Tu rêvais d'abolir les frontières
La musique devenait planétaire
Mais la violence a ses clients
Pris dans la machine - où sont tes rêves - tes évasions
Oh n'oublie jamais d'ensoleiller les imaginations.
Refrain (2 fois)
Dans les rues de la ville chantent des foules indociles
Mais la main du pouvoir se serre dans le velours noir
Tu ferais mieux de t'occuper de tes affaires
Dérisoire - ton pamphlet planétaire
Mais la violence a ses clients
Pris dans la machine - où sont tes rêves - tes évasions
Oh n'oublie jamais d'ensoleiller les imaginations.
Refrain .
(Merci à Ange pour cettes paroles)
The lyrics DISTINGUÉ of BERNARD LAVILLIERS is also present in the album Samedi soir a beyrouth (2008)
Bernard Lavilliers è un cantautore francese nato a Saint-Étienne nel 1946. Proveniente da una famiglia modesta, iniziò ad appassionarsi alla musica fin dall'età di quattro anni. Dopo aver lavorato in fabbrica, si iscrisse al Partito Comunista per difendere i propri ideali e nel 1965 partì per il Brasile, esperienza che segnò profondamente la sua visione del mondo. Rientro in Francia lo portò ad essere considerato renitente alla leva e incarcerato per un anno. Iniziò a cantare nei cabaret e nel 1967 uscì il suo primo singolo. Nel 1968 pubblicò il suo primo album, intitolato semplicemente "Lavilliers", che divenne poi il suo nome d'arte. Nel corso degli anni '70 ottenne successo con album come "Les poètes" (1972), "Le Stéphanois" (1975) e soprattutto "Les Barbares" (1976). Quest'ultimo lo consacrò come uno dei cantautori francesi più importanti. Lavilliers è noto per le sue canzoni che spesso trattano temi sociali, politici e di viaggio. Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi ricordiamo "Le Grand Bleu", "La Ballade de la rue des Amants" e "Les Barbares". Nel 1992 cantò insieme a Léo Ferré alla fête de l'Humanité. Nel 2004 pubblicò l'album "Carnets de bord", un inno ai viaggi, e nel 2005 uscì il libro 'Bernard Lavilliers, Escales' di Gert-Peter Bruch.

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.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
