Les princes des villes
Briller comme une étoile filante
C'est l'aventure qui les tente
Et puis cet étrange pouvoir
Qui s'est glissé dans leur regard
Vivre plus vite que les autres
Avoir un pied dans le futur
Vivre les rêves qui sont les nôtres
Et obéir à sa nature
Puisque rien de dure vraiment...
Mais les princes des villes
N'ont pas besoin d'armure
Dans les grandes voitures
Les rêves sont faciles
Et leur nuit de vinyle
Sont collées sur les murs
Mais rien n'est vraiment sûr
Et l'avenir fragile
Pour les princes des villes
Des idées bizarres
Vibrent au rythme des guitaresDes rock'n roll stars
Qu'on les adore, qu'on les jalouse
Comme des maîtresses andalouses
Qu'on leur élève des statues
Qu'on les affiche dans les rues
Mais au matin d'un nouveau jour
Qu'on les piétine, qu'on les insulte
Qu'on établisse de nouveaux cultes
Et qu'on les oublie pour toujours
Mais puisque rien ne dure vraiment...
{au Refrain,...}
Michel Berger, born Michel Jean Hamburger (Paris, 1953 – Paris, 1992), was a French singer-songwriter and record producer. Considered one of the greatest exponents of French pop music, he achieved success in the 1970s and 1980s with songs like "Lucie", "Le Paradis blanc" and "On ira". Berger collaborated with numerous artists, including France Gall, whom he was married to from 1980 to 1986. His music is characterized by catchy melodies, poetic lyrics and a clear influence of progressive rock. Besides composing for himself, Berger wrote songs for other artists, including Dalida and Sheila. Among his most important albums are "L'amour à la française" (1980) and "Michel Berger" (1982). His premature death at the age of 39 left a void in the French music scene.
