En pleine jungle je chantais l'amour et la crasse
Pour quelques joints, du soleil, du rhum et des passes
J'avais la musique sous les ongles
Et la langue bien pendue
Je laissais s'exciter le monde
Au fond de ma vallée perdue
Ecoutez bien ce que je vous dis
Je suis pas du Nord je suis d'ici
C'est pas vraiment le paradis
Je sais ce que je veux et ce que je dis
Love me or leave me
Le marchand d'armes leur a dit
Chante bien ce mec
Je vous file des guns à crédit
Et je me tire avec
Pas le temps de finir ma chanson
Que ce vieux rats me braque
Je reste seul sur l'écran
Où sifflent des matraques
Love me or leave me
Alors ecoute-moi tout s'arrange toujours
Même...mal
Les lumières élimées de Metropolis
Les cow boys ratés sont dans la police
Ce vieux monde va crever
Ce vieux monde craque
Etat d'urgence d'exception
Arrêtez le massacre
Tu m'as cassé les doigts dis
Laisse moi mourir ou partir dis
Je reviens sur ce que je dis (ah non)
Love me or leave me
J'ai tué le crocodile qui suivait mes traces
Je l'ai plumé désossé et mangé sur place
Liberté t'as pas de prix
Mais pour l'angoisse c'est gratuit
Je reviens pas sur ce que je dis
Love me or leave me
The lyrics NORD-SUD of BERNARD LAVILLIERS is also present in the album If (1988)
Bernard Lavilliers è un cantautore francese nato a Saint-Étienne nel 1946. Proveniente da una famiglia modesta, iniziò ad appassionarsi alla musica fin dall'età di quattro anni. Dopo aver lavorato in fabbrica, si iscrisse al Partito Comunista per difendere i propri ideali e nel 1965 partì per il Brasile, esperienza che segnò profondamente la sua visione del mondo. Rientro in Francia lo portò ad essere considerato renitente alla leva e incarcerato per un anno. Iniziò a cantare nei cabaret e nel 1967 uscì il suo primo singolo. Nel 1968 pubblicò il suo primo album, intitolato semplicemente "Lavilliers", che divenne poi il suo nome d'arte. Nel corso degli anni '70 ottenne successo con album come "Les poètes" (1972), "Le Stéphanois" (1975) e soprattutto "Les Barbares" (1976). Quest'ultimo lo consacrò come uno dei cantautori francesi più importanti. Lavilliers è noto per le sue canzoni che spesso trattano temi sociali, politici e di viaggio. Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi ricordiamo "Le Grand Bleu", "La Ballade de la rue des Amants" e "Les Barbares". Nel 1992 cantò insieme a Léo Ferré alla fête de l'Humanité. Nel 2004 pubblicò l'album "Carnets de bord", un inno ai viaggi, e nel 2005 uscì il libro 'Bernard Lavilliers, Escales' di Gert-Peter Bruch.

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.
