Elle buvait son café, l'addition était prête
Et j'allais la laisser s'envoler. C'est trop bête
Elle a pris dans son paquet une cigarette
Un garçon, empressé, accouru l'allumer
Pourquoi lui? Il est triste, il est tout petit
Un briquet et j'avais du génie
Ah! Quand on a du feu c'est un jeu de se décider
Craque une allumette et tu peux tout imaginer
Rien qu'une étincelle: "Mademoiselle, je suis amoureux
Venez, venez ce soir, venez chez moi, y'a du feu"
Alors j'ai acheté de quoi faire une flamme
J'étais prêt à foncer au moment où la dame
Sortirait de son paquet une cigarette
Sitôt dit, sitôt fait, je ne l'ai pas ratée
Quelques mots bien choisis et elle est à moi
Je la vois me tomber dans les bras
Quand on a du feu c'est un jeu de le décider
Craque une allumette et tu peux tout imaginer
Rien qu'une étincelle: "Mademoiselle, je suis amoureux
Venez, venez ce soir, venez chez moi, y'a du feu"
Elle n'a dit que "merci", elle a pris son vestiaire
Et sortit dans la nuit, je ne savais pas quoi faire
J'ai grillé à sa santé une cigarette
Et je l'ai regardée s'en aller en fumée

Joe Dassin (Joseph Ira Dassin, 1938-1980) è stato un cantante e compositore statunitense naturalizzato francese. Considerato uno dei più grandi artisti della musica francese degli anni '60 e '70, Dassin ha conquistato il pubblico con la sua voce calda e le sue canzoni romantiche e orecchiabili. Super poliglotta, era in grado di esprimersi e cantare in inglese, francese, tedesco, spagnolo, italiano e greco. Nato a New York da genitori francesi, si trasferì in Francia all'età di 18 anni per dedicarsi alla musica. Il suo successo arrivò con il brano "Les Champs-Élysées" (1970), che divenne un inno nazionale francese. Tra le sue canzoni più famose ricordiamo anche "Salut les copains", "Et si tu n'existais pas", e "Laissez-moi danser". Dassin ha collaborato con numerosi artisti francesi, tra cui Claude François e Gilbert Bécaud. La sua musica è ancora oggi molto apprezzata in Francia e nel mondo.
