Les caraïbes


Je voudrais être
En face de moi
Et puis me dire
Viens on s'en va
Dans une eau plus limpide
Que l'eau des Caraïbes
Comme ça

Ouvrir les yeux
Me regarder
Avant d'être vieux
Me retrouver
Dans une eau plus limpide
Que l'eau des Caraïbes
Comme ça

Seul au milieu de l'Atlantique
Entre les courants et les vents
Un navigateur solitaire
Est l'homme le moins seul de la terre
Dans la tempête je me dis
Que je ne serais jamais ici
Si je n'avais pas donné mon nom
A une bière, à un savon
Photographes, radio reporters
Venez venez
Je suis le vainqueur
Mais dans la foule qui m'acclame
J'ai vraiment envie d'être ailleurs, ailleurs, ailleurs...

Je voudrais être
En face de moi
Et puis me dire
Viens on s'en va
Dans une eau plus limpide
Que l'eau des Caraïbes
Comme ça

Ouvrir les yeux
Me regarder
Avant d'être vieux
Me retrouver
Dans une eau plus limpide
Que l'eau des Caraïbes
Comme ça

Moi vous me connaissez je suis
Le Président de ce pays
Et quand je me vois tout là-haut
J'avoue que je me dis bravo
Je voulais faire tant de choses
J'aurais voulu changer les choses
Mais je me retrouve enterré
Sous des montagnes d'intérêts
Photographes, radio reporters
Je vous dirai des mots qui calment
Qui empêcheront les gens d'avoir peur
Mais au moment où je vous parle
Je voudrais être ailleurs, ailleurs, ailleurs...

Je voudrais être
En face de moi
Et puis me dire
Viens on s'en va
Dans une eau plus limpide
Que l'eau des Caraïbes
Comme ça

Et moi est-ce que je devrais mourir
Debout sur mon piano qui coule
Comme un capitaine de navire
Applaudi par toute une foule
Moi qui ai donné des concerts
Tenus pour extraordinaires
Je suis trop vieux pour bien jouer
Mes mains et moi ça on le sait
Photographes, radio reporters
Que dites-vous de cette soirée
Bonjour Madame Légion d'honneur
Vous avez merveilleusement joué
Ailleurs... ailleurs... ailleurs...

Je voudrais être
En face de moi
Et puis me dire
Viens on s'en va
Dans une eau plus limpide
Que l'eau des Caraïbes
Comme ça

Laisser couler
Me sentir bien
Et m'en aller
Mine de rien
Dans une eau plus limpide
Que l'eau des Caraïbes
Comme ça
