Seul
Sous un ciel minéral
Seul
Dans le règne animal
J'peux vraiment plus choisir entre le bien, le mal
Au bord du précipice je vais mal, je vais mal
Je vais mal
Couché sur le côté dans un hôtel sordide
Le mythe du rock'n'roll me prend comme un bolide
Des guitares déchirées, vestiaire puant la sueur
Poème carbonisé, un monde suant la peur, sueur la peur
J'suis en état d'urgence
Seul dans la lumière blance
Malgré les apparences
Tu sais la différence
J'suis en état d'urgence
Passez le miroir
Troublants de désespoir
Plus loin à quelques blocs, au fond d'un entrepôt
Le grand marché aux gays, aux confins du Soho
Enchaînés dans des cages et vendus chaque nuit
Conduits par un nabot aux ongles noirs vernis, sans un cri
Des sexes désossés, du sang et de l'éther
Hommes de cuir clouté, sur des chaînes de fer
Dans le brouillard glacé, tout près de la rivière
Où rôdent les truckers et leur peinture de guerre, c'est la guerre
J'suis en état d'urgence
Seul dans la lumière blance
Malgré les apparences
Tu sais la différence
J'suis en état d'urgence
Passez le miroir
Troublants de désespoir
Seul
Jusqu'au bout de l'enfer
Seul
Au-dessus des cartères
J'ai perdu mes racines et je cherche mes mots
Broyé par la machine aux confins du Soho, de Soho, de Soho
Je vais dormir enfin dans un hôtel sordide
J'ai passé la journée à choisir le calibre
Mon cerveau déchiré va retrouver la peur
Poème carbonisé ne permet plus d'erreur, plus d'erreur
J'suis en état d'urgence
Seul dans la lumière blance
Malgré les apparences
Tu sais la différence
J'suis en état d'urgence...
The lyrics ETAT D'URGENCE of BERNARD LAVILLIERS is also present in the album Etat d'urgence (1999)
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
