J'ai débuté ma carrière
Dans un hold-up audacieux
Y avait d' la cervelle par terre
Les flics étaient très nerveux
Continué dans un boxon
Dans le slip d'une souris
Puis passé dans le ceinturon
D'un marchand de paradis
Qui s' fit dézinguer plus tard
Mais ça, c'est une autre histoire
C'était un tueur à gages
Qu'arrondissait ses fins de mois
C'est pas qu' dans ce boulot-là
On soit souvent au chômage
Surtout que par les temps qui courent
La liberté et l'amour
Travaillent pour la République
Comité d'action civique
Je me suis multiplié
Chez un type assez bizarre
Qui travaillait tard le soir
À la plume et au pochoir
Voyagé dans des mallettes
Dans des fourgons, des tablettes
Dans des jeans ou de la soie
En Jaguar et en Matra
J' suis même passé dans vos poches
Grippé par vos doigts crochus, hein, crochus
J'étais même au PSU
Au Parti et à Minute
Avant de faire la culbute
Dans les poches de Lavilliers
Ouais, mais ça n'a pas duré
J'ai dormi chez des prélats
Entre deux doigts d'arnica
Trois bons mots, une caresse
Au vicaire et sur les fesses
Je suis le pouvoir d'achat
Je suis celui qui décomplexe
Je suis le dernier réflexe
Qu'on n'est pas près d'oublier
Essayez d' me supprimer
Dans un coin sur la planète
Y en a qui f'raient une drôle de tête
Y en a même qui en sont morts
Allende dans le décor
Je suis passé sous les tables
J'ai glissé sur des tapis
Dans des poches confortables
J'ai pris un peu de répit
Dans les mains d'un mercenaire
Puis dans la révolution
J'ai participé, mon frère,
A des tas d' combinaisons
Si tu savais ce que je sais
Dans quelles mains je suis passé
Tu t'en ferais pas beaucoup
Pour ta p'tite éternité
J'ai voulu me racheter
Mais voilà, j'étais trop cher
Depuis que les financiers
Mettent mes vertus aux enchères
Depuis que les poètes maudits
Comptent leurs économies
Je suis une pute aux nerfs d'acier
Je sais tout mais j' dirai rien
C'est peut-être préférable
Pour l'idéal républicain
J'aimerais crever, tu sais,
J'aimerais qu'on m' foute la paix
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.
