Moi j'avais rêvé longtemps de ma première guitare, tu sais
J'étais fou, j'avais quinze ans, je n'osais pas y croire
Mes parents n'étaient pas d'accord, ils connaisaient par coeur
Mes trois chansons sur deux accords, moi j'attendais mon heure
J'etais dingue de Becaud, Brassens et Aznavour
Je m'endormais sur ma radio, je faisais des concours
Puis j'ai découvert les groupes anglais, je guettais à la télé
Leurs gestes que je refaisais le soir dans mon grenier
Toi qui m'as donné les plus belles années de ma vie
Mes plus grandes espérances, mes plus grands regrets aussi
Comme je t'aimais, toi ma musique, mon premier grand amour
J'essayais bien de te suivre, pourtant j'étais toujours
Un pas derrière, cherchant à te plaire
Soixante-cinq au Golfe Trouau c'était des nuits sans fin
La musique dans la peau et tout pour les copains
Dans une cave de banlieu tous les soirs on répétait
Et si les voisins criaient un peu, nous on leur pardonnait
Et puis soixante-dix, les festivals perdus dans la nature
On était des milliers sous les étoiles pour quelques couvertures
La foule dansait, tapait des mains, nous on s'y croyait déjà
Et Avignon n'était plus qu'un faubourg de l'Olympia
Toi qui m'as donné les plus belles années de ma vie
Mes plus grandes espérances, mes plus grands regrets aussi
Comme je t'aimais, toi ma musique, mon premier grand amour
J'essayais bien de te suivre, pourtant j'étais toujours
Un pas derrière, cherchant à te plaire
Soixante-douze, c'etait Paris, le groupe s'est dispersé
Quand j'ai rencontré Marie-Christine, j'étais sur le pavé
Le soir pour se payer un lit on claquait tous nos cachets
Mais je lui racontais ma vie et elle me comprenait
Et elle m'a suivi dans cent maisons de disques et d'édition
Oû les gens qui m'écoutaient n'aimaient pas mes chansons
Et quand j'ai vendu ma vieille guitare c'est elle qui m'a aidé
À comprendre enfin que ça ne marcherait jamais
Toi qui m'as donné les plus belles années de ma vie
Mes plus grandes espérances, mes plus grands regrets aussi
Comme je t'aimais, toi ma musique, mon premier grand amour
J'essayais bien de te suivre, pourtant j'étais toujours
Un pas derrière, cherchant à te plaire
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".
