Comme l'enfant des îles
Avec rien sur la peau
Qui regarde tranquille
Croiser les paquebots
Tu descends tu t'approches
T'as l'argent dans les poches
Tu le prends en photo
Au retour du voyage
Dans les coins du salon
Tu retrouves son visage
Sur des bouts de carton
Dans des boîtes à chaussures
Au milieu des factures
Et des billets d'avions
Toi t'as l'argent, lui le soleil
Il a tout son temps toi t'as ton appareil
Tu ramènes des images
Des photos de voyages
Tu crois que t'es heureux pareil
T'as tes repas d'affaires
Et tes nuits de travail
Il est assis par terre
Les cheveux jusqu'à la taille
Il répare la nasse
Pour les poissons qui passent
La barrière de corail
Toi t'as l'argent
T'as fait de grandes études
On te respecte beaucoup
Mais t'as les jambes qui brûlent
Et y'a des insectes partout
Dans le fond de ta ville
T'as remis ton manteau
Quelquefois ça descend
Quinze en dessous de zéro
Sur le bord de sa case
Que la chaleur écrase
Il boit le lait de coco
Toi t'as l'argent...
Francis Cabrel is a French singer-songwriter and guitarist born in Agen on November 23, 1953. Heavily influenced by Bob Dylan, he has released numerous albums that primarily fall within the folk genre, with occasional forays into blues or country. Several of his songs, such as "L'encre de tes yeux" and "Petite Marie", have become enduring favorites in French music. Others, such as "C'etait l'hiver", about the suicide of a young girl, have since been covered by other artists such as Canadian Isabelle Boulay. Among his most important albums are "Les Morts de la nuit" (1980) and "Hors-Saison" (1987). Cabrel is known for his catchy melodies, poetic lyrics, and intense interpretation.
