Viens petite sœur au blanc manteau
Viens c'est la ballade des copeaux
Viens petite girl in red blue jean
Viens c'est la descente au fond de la mine
Viens donc grand shootée du désespoir
Viens donc visiter mes laminoirs
Viens donc chevaucher les grands rouleaux
Et t'coincer la tête dans un étau
Viens petite femme de St-Tropez
Nous on fume la came par les cheminées
Et si le bonheur n'est pas en retard
Il arrive avec son gros cigare
Viens dans ce pays
Viens voir où j'ai grandi
Tu comprendras pourquoi la violence et la mort
Sont tatoués sur mes bras comme tout ce décor
Pour tout leur pardonner et me tenir tranquille
Il faudrait renier les couteaux de la ville
Viens petite bourgeoise demoiselle
Visiter la plage aux de Wendel
Ici pour trouver l'Eldorado
Il faut une shooteuse ou un marteau
La vallée d'la Fensch ma chérie
C'est l'Colorado en plus petit
Y a moins de chevaux et de condors
Mais ça fait quand même autant de morts
Ma belle femelle de métal
Je t'invite dans mon carnaval
Ici la cadence c'est vraiment trop
Ici y a pas d'place pour les manchots
Viens dans mon pays
Viens voir où j'ai grandi
Tu comprendras pourquoi la violence et la mort
Sont tatoués sur mes bras comme tout ce décor
Pour tout leur pardonner et me tenir tranquille
Il faudrait renier les couteaux de la ville
Tu ne connais pas, mais t'imagines
C'est vraiment magnifique une usine
C'est plein de couleurs et plein de cris
C'est plein d'étincelles surtout la nuit
C'est vraiment dommage que les artistes
Qui font le spectacle soient si tristes
Autrefois y avait des rigolos
Ils ont tous fini dans un lingot
Le ciel a souvent des teintes étranges
Le nom des patelins s'termine par ..ange
C'est un vieux pays pas très connu
Y a pas de touristes dans les rues
Viens dans mon pays
Viens voir où j'ai grandi
Tu comprendras pourquoi la violence et la mort
Sont tatoués sur ma peau comme tout ce décor
Pour tout leur pardonner et me tenir tranquille
Il faudrait renier les couteaux de la ville
Viens petite sœur au blanc manteau
Viens c'est la ballade des copeaux
Viens petite girl in red blue jean
Viens c'est la descente au fond d'la mine
Viens c'est la descente au fond d'la mine
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.
