Tout est affaire de décor
Changer de lit changer de corps
À quoi bon puisque c'est encore
Moi qui moi-même me trahis
Moi qui me traîne et m'éparpille
Et mon ombre se déshabille
Dans les bras semblables des filles
Où j'ai cru trouver un pays.
Cœur léger cœur changeant cœur lourd
Le temps de rêver est bien court
Que faut-il faire de mes jours
Que faut-il faire de mes nuits
Je n'avais amour ni demeure
Nulle part où je vive ou meure
Je passais comme la rumeur
Je m'endormais comme le bruit.
Est-ce ainsi que les hommes vivent
Et leurs baisers au loin les suivent.
C'était un temps déraisonnable
On avait mis les morts à table
On faisait des châteaux de sable
On prenait les loups pour des chiens
Tout changeait de pôle et d'épaule
La pièce était-elle ou non drôle
Moi si j'y tenais mal mon rôle
C'était de n'y comprendre rien
Dans le quartier Hohenzollern
Entre la Sarre et les casernes
Comme les fleurs de la luzerne
Fleurissaient les seins de Lola
Elle avait un cœur d'hirondelle
Sur le canapé du bordel
Je venais m'allonger près d'elle
Dans les hoquets du pianola.
Est-ce ainsi que les hommes vivent
Et leurs baisers au loin les suivent.
Le ciel était gris de nuages
Il y volait des oies sauvages
Qui criaient la mort au passage
Au-dessus des maisons des quais
Je les voyais par la fenêtre
Leur chant triste entrait dans mon être
Et je croyais y reconnaître
Du Rainer Maria Rilke.
Elle était brune et pourtant blanche
Ses cheveux tombaient sur ses hanches
Et la semaine et le dimanche
Elle offrait à tous ses bras nus
Elle avait des yeux de faïence
Elle travaillait avec vaillance
Pour un artilleur de Mayence
Qui n'en est jamais revenu.
Est-ce ainsi que les hommes vivent
Et leurs baisers au loin les suivent.
Il est d'autres soldats en ville
Et la nuit montent les civils
Remets du rimmel à tes cils
Lola qui t'en iras bientôt
Encore un verre de liqueur
Ce fut en avril à cinq heures
Au petit jour que dans ton cœur
Un dragon plongea son couteau
Est-ce ainsi que les hommes vivent
Et leurs baisers au loin les suivent
Comme des soleils révolus.

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.
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
