Dans le brouillard de Londres
J'ai rencontré un soir
Un type nommé Bobby
Un guitariste noir
Il venait de Kingstone
Avait des yeux violets
Dans un bar de Brighton Beach
C'était là qu'il jouait
Ses doigts longs et rapides couraient sur sa guitare
Ses riffs comme des fluides transperçaient le brouillard
Puis la lumière dorée du soleil de Negril
Planait sur la fumée en petites notes agiles
Ses textes étaient précis et bourrés d'humour noir
C'était donc mon ami depuis ce fameux soir
Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
J'te les joue ici, mais elles viennent d'ailleurs
Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
Guitare, basse, batterie, saxophone et chœurs
J'étais noir moi aussi mais pour d'autres raisons
J'avais passé dix ans à dormir en prison
C'était une drôle d'affaire pleine de coups d'escopette,
De transporteurs de fond et puis de grosse galette
Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
Je chante en sous-sol mon reggae braqueur
Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
Surtout pas de cris, ça s'passe en douceur
Dans la vie, mon garçon, que tu sois noir ou blanc
T'as le choix, tu travailles ou tu gagnes de l'argent
Les flics n'ont pas aimé cette chanson historique
Paumée la grosse galette et finie la musique
Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
J'te les joue ici, mais elles viennent d'ailleurs
Mélodie, tempo, harmonie
Guitare, basse, batterie, saxophone et chœurs
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.
