La "CORVETTE" noir métal remontait le Sunset
Le F.B.I. au cul, caché par mes lunettes,
Je laissais dériver mon délire Parano
Pendant que le batteur vrillait ma Stéréo.
Ne sachant où aller, je traversais Hollywood
Où les stars embaumées se touchent coude à coude,
Où l'on ne produit plus que des films de terreur
Comme pour exorciser la tension extérieure.
L'univers qui craquait et puis celle fissure
Qui un jour après l'autre diminue le futur,
Quand la Californie sombrera dans l'azur,
Tout ça me laissait froid comme le scorpion, mon frère.
J'étais fait à l'image du monde qui m'a créé,
De plus en plus cynique, de plus en plus glacé,
J'enjambais des cadavres depuis quelques années,
Je n' avals rien de bon et rien de spontané.
Huit jours que je vivais dormant dans les parkings
Cinéma permanent, liberté en leasing.
Erreur d'appréciation laissant sur la vitrine
Le sang du directeur sécher sur le standing.
J'm' voyais très lucide couper au machine-gun
Cinq voitures de police hurlant au maximum,
Ou bien, serré à vie, entouré de pédés,
A Saint-Quentin-sur-Mer, quartier sécurité.
Entre Compton et Watts, en pleine guerre des gangs,
Survivait un marchand d'armes de Thaïlande
J'arrivais au moment précis, juste un peu tard,
Il saignait cinq kilos d' Héro sur le comptoir.
UNE PANTHÈRE DORÉE,
DANS UN ÉCLAIR DE STRASS,
M' ATTIRA VERS LE FOND,
UNE MAIN DANS SON SAC.
PENDANT QU' TOUT L' QUARTIER
RATISSAIT LA BOUTIQUE
Des aveugles, des armoires,
Des Blacks, des Chicanos,
Des Junkies de soixante-dix,
Rien que la peau sur les os,
Des maquerelles, des gourous,
Des mouchards, des pompistes,
Des poètes, des marins,
Des tueurs, des analystes,
Des chauffeurs syndiqués,
Des gardiens d' cimetière,
Des laveurs de carreaux,
Des rouleurs de carrure,
Des joueurs de go,
Des ramasseurs d'ordure,
Tout c' que la ville produit
De sportif et de sain
Avait rendez-vous là.
ELLE ME DIT: ALLEZ VIENS
ET CET OISEAU DE NUIT M' EMPORTA DANS SA JUNGLE,
DANGEREUSE, SECRÈTE, DU VENIN SOUS LES ONGLES.
JE L' AIMAIS ...
PETIT MONSTRE, PETIT MONSTRE, POURQUOI M' AS - TU PLAQUE
Emmenant mon cash, mes deux calibres, mes faux passeports,
Les diamants étaient vrais.
Entends ma voix, comme un murmure,
Je cultive derrière mes murs
Une vengeance qui suppure.
Je connais la nuit de ta mort
NIGHT BIRD, MA SEULE HISTOIRE D' AMOUR.
NIGHT BIRD, ON S' REVERRA UN JOUR.
PETIT MONSTRE, PETIT MONSTRE, POURQUOI M' AS - TU DONNE
La nuit, le jour, je pense à toi
Comme un boxeur juste avant son combat.
T'es partie avec un médium.
Amoureux fou et impuissant.
Qui te touchait de temps en temps
De ses longs doigts d'aluminium.
NIGHT BIRD, MA SEULE HISTOIRE D AMOUR.
NIGHT BIRD, ON S' REVERRA UN JOUR.
SANGLANT RASOIR, ÉCLAIR RASANT
COMME UN FOULARD SUR SON COU BLANC
TES MÉTAPHORES SONT RECTILIGNES,
SANGLANT RASOIR, TES MOTS D' AMOUR QUAND TU LES SIGNES
SONT TOUJOURS A L' ENCRE DE CHINE.
PETIT MONSTRE, PETIT MONSTRE, POURQUOI M' AS - TU AIME
Nous avons vécu tous les vices,
Petit monstre pourquoi m'as-tu aimé.
Je t'ai cherchée sans le savoir,
Je t'ai trouvée sans le vouloir,
Le sang est beau lorsque il est frais.
Je connais la nuit de ta mort.
NIGHT BIRD, MA SEULE HISTOIRE D AMOUR
NIGHT BIRD, ON S' REVERRA UN JOUR.
PETIT MONSTRE, PETIT MONSTRE,
PETIT MONSTRE...
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.
