Les amis de Georges étaient un peu anars
Ils marchaient au gros rouge et grattaient leurs guitares
Ils semblaient tous issus de la même famille
Timides et paillards et tendres avec les filles
Ils avaient vu la guerre ou étaient nés après
Et s'étaient retrouvés à Saint-Germain-des-Prés
Et s'il leur arrivait parfois de travailler
Personne n'aurait perdu sa vie pour la gagner
Les amis de Georges avaient les cheveux longs
A l'époque ce n'était pas encore de saison
Ils connaissaient Verlaine, Hugo, François Villon
Avant qu'on les enferme dans des microsillons
Ils juraient, ils sacraient, insultaient les bourgeois
Mais savaient offrir des fleurs aux filles de joie
Quitte à les braconner dans les jardins publics
En jouant à cache-cache avec l'ombre des flics
Les amis de Georges, on les reconnaissait
A leur manière de n'être pas trop pressés
De rentrer dans le rang pour devenir quelqu'un
Ils traversaient la vie comme des arlequins
Certains le sont restés, d'autres ont disparu
Certains ont même la Légion d'honneur - qui l'eût cru?
Mais la plupart d'entre eux n'ont pas bougé d'un poil
Ils se baladent encore la tête dans les étoiles
Les amis de Georges n'ont pas beaucoup vieilli
A les voir on dirait qu'ils auraient rajeuni
Le cheveu est plus long, la guitare toujours là
C'est toujours l'ami Georges qui donne le la
Mais tout comme lui ils ne savent toujours pas
Rejoindre le troupeau ou bien marcher au pas
Dans les rues de Paris, sur les routes de province
Ils mendient quelquefois avec des airs de prince
En chantant des chansons du dénommé Brassens
Georges Moustaki, nato Yussef Mustacchi ad Alessandria d'Egitto il 3 maggio 1934, è un cantautore francese di origine greco-sefaradita. Noto per il suo ritmo poetico, la sua semplicità eloquente e le centinaia di canzoni romantiche scritte, Moustaki ha collaborato con artisti come Edith Piaf, per cui ha composto brani celebri come «La Vie en rose». Il suo stile musicale è un mix di chanson francese, musica popolare greca e influenze mediorientali. Tra i suoi album più importanti si ricordano «Le Chant du Monde» (1967) e «Moustaki chante Moustaki» (1980). Tra le sue canzoni più rappresentative: «Le Môme Piaf», «La Ballade de la Rue des Amants», «L'Amour est un oiseau rebelle».

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
