Si tu rêves de tropiques, c'est vraiment tropical
Le reggae dans la rue, calypso dans la salle
Si tu veux tout de suite qu'on réponde aux questions
Remonte dans ton jet et retourne à Nation
Tu trouveras ici non pas ce que tu penses
Non pas ce que tu cherches, ça n'a pas d'importance
La beauté, la violence, posées sur la balance
Affamées comme moi...
Kingston kill some, quand le soleil descend à Downtown
J'écoute à la radio une chanson d'amour
Qui dit qu'il n'y a qu'un Dieu, un pays, trois couleurs
Douze tribus dans la Bible, des coups d'flingues dans la cible
Des blancs pour le gâteau, cinq cent mille au ghetto
Un million dans la ville qui brûle en plein soleil
Deux millions dans une île, juste en-dessous du ciel
Affamés comme moi...
Kingston kill some, quand le soleil descend à Downtown
Si tu prends ma machette juste entre les oreilles
C'est fini pour la fête, fini pour le soleil
Plus j'ai faim, plus je fume, plus je fume, plus je crois
Le Dieu qui m'a bâti doit fumer comme moi
Je suis beau comme lui, je danse comme un fauve
Le lion des rastas rôde dans les villas
Affamé comme moi...
Kingston kill some, quand le soleil descend à Downtown
Cadenas sur les grilles, des familles d'en haut
La brume qui scintille au-dessus du ghetto
A Trensh Town ça bouge, t'arrête pas aux feux rouges
A Tivoli Garden, no good man
La lumière qui saute, Kingston est dans le noir
Les gun-men qui rôdent transformés en passoires
Et la mort qui s'en va, affamée comme moi...
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.
