Viens prendre un verre petite
La trompette ça donne chaud
Je ne refais mon tour qu'à minuit
Je vais jouer pour ces idiots
Qui ne savent même pas qui je suis...
Tu veux savoir mon histoire
Tu veux boire à la gloire
De la musique, au roi du blues
Si le roi vit encore
Son royaume est bien mort
Je n'ai pas vu comment passait le temps
Et je n'ai plus vingt ans
Et je n'ai plus vingt ans
C'est à Chicago, en 51, dans un petit bar
C'est à Chicago, mon premier jam à vingt cinq dollars
Puis ma première jatte avec mon ami
Dizie Gillespie
Mon nom en grand à Carneggie Hall
Ça n'pouvait pas durer la vie
Tu veux savoir mon histoire
Tu veux boire à la gloire
De la musique, au roi du blues
Si le roi vit encore
Son royaume est bien mort
Je n'ai pas vu comment passait le temps
Et je n'ai plus vingt ans
Et je n'ai plus vingt ans
Tu veux du mélo
Ce soir j'ai vendu ma trompette en or
Tu veux du mélo
Quand je joue les gens parlent encore plus fort
Je bois un peu trop
Mon impressario dit qu'je n'vaux plus rien
Pourtant je joue comme à Chicago
Crois-moi je suis encore quelqu'un
Tu veux savoir mon histoire
Tu veux boire à la gloire
De la musique, au roi du blues
Si le roi vit encore
Son royaume est bien mort
Je n'ai pas vu comment passait le temps
Et je n'ai plus vingt ans
Et je n'ai plus vingt ans
Joe Dassin (Joseph Ira Dassin, 1938-1980) was an American-born French singer and songwriter. Considered one of the greatest French music artists of the 1960s and 1970s, Dassin captivated audiences with his warm voice and romantic, catchy songs. A polyglot, he could express himself and sing in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Greek. Born in New York to French parents, he moved to France at the age of 18 to pursue music. His breakthrough came with the song "Les Champs-Élysées" (1970), which became a national anthem of France. Among his most famous songs are also "Salut les copains", "Et si tu n'existais pas", and "Laissez-moi danser". Dassin collaborated with numerous French artists, including Claude François and Gilbert Bécaud. His music is still widely appreciated in France and around the world.
