Je les voulais à milles paillettes,
Je les voulais trop belles pour moi,
Je les voulais qui font la fête,
Je les voulais toutes aux abois,
Je les voulais toutes dans mes bras,
Je les voyais belles et fragiles,
Je les rêvais belles et fragiles,
Je les rêvais tellement dociles,
Je les voulais et je me noie,
Assis tout seul sans queue ni tête,
Tout seul ma gueule encore une fois.
Je me revois tel un pacha,
Dans un grand lit plein de Fatma,
Entouré de cent mille paillettes,
Y'avait Francine, y'avait Ginette,
Y'avait la Louise et Roberta,
Je m'y revois tel un pacha,
Je m'y revois et je me noie,
Assis tout seul sans queue ni tête,
Y'a plus ni tambours, ni trompettes,
Tout seul ma gueule encore une fois,
Tout seul ma gueule je m'y revois.
Y'avait Francine, y'avait Ginette,
Y'avait la Louise et Roberta,
Je les voulais trop belles pour moi,
Je les voulais toutes à mille paillettes,
Assis tout seul sans queue ni tête,
Y'a plus ni tambours, ni trompettes,
Y'a plus la Louise, Y'a plus Ginette,
Y'a plus Francine, y'a plus que ma tête,
Entouré de cent mille paillettes,
Encore une fois je m'y revois.
Changez de cavalier
Je les voulais à mille paillettes,
Je les voulais trop belles pour moi,
Je les voulais qui font la fête,
Je les voulais toutes aux abois,
Je les voulais toutes dans mes bras,
Je les rêvais belles et fragiles,
Je les rêvais tellement dociles,
Je les voulais, et je me noie,
Assis tout seul sans queue ni tête,
Tout seul ma gueule encore une fois.
Je me revois tel un pacha,
Entouré de cent mille Fatma,
Dans un grand lit plein de paillettes,
Y'avait Francine, y'avait Ginette,
Tout seul ma gueule encore une fois.
Tout seul ma gueule, je m'y revois
Y'avait Francine, y'avait Ginette,
Y'avait la Louise et Roberta,
Dans un grand lit à mille paillettes,
Je les voulais trop belles pour moi.
Changez de cavalier
Je les voulais à mille paillettes,
Je les voulais trop belles pour moi,
Je les voulais qui font la fête,

Je les voulais, et je me noie,
Assis tout seul sans queue ni tête,
Tout seul ma gueule encore une fois.
Je me revois tel un pacha,
Entouré de cent mille Fatma,
Dans un grand lit plein de paillettes,

Assis tout seul sans queue ni tête,
Y'a plus ni tambours, ni trompettes,
Y'a plus la Louise, y'a plus Ginette,
Y'a plus Francine, y'a plus que moi

Manu Chao (José Manuel Arturo Tomás Chao Ortega) è un cantautore e musicista francese di origini spagnole. Nato a Parigi nel 1961, ha raggiunto fama internazionale negli anni '90 grazie al suo stile musicale unico che fonde elementi di reggae, ska, punk, flamenco e musica latina. Le sue canzoni, spesso in spagnolo, francese e inglese, trattano temi sociali come l'immigrazione, la giustizia sociale e la lotta contro il razzismo. Chao ha collaborato con numerosi artisti internazionali, tra cui The Clash, Manu Dibango e Cesaria Evora. Alcuni dei suoi brani più famosi includono "Clandestino", "Me Gustas Tu" e "Bambaataa".
