Comme t'es jamais tranquille
On t'envoie sur une île
En souvenir du bagne
Nos voeux vous accompagnent
Sapé comme un milord
Tu joues au cousu d'or
Tu veux prendre le large
Et sortir de la marge
Sur les trottoirs qui scintillent
Les garces aux talons aiguilles
Ont dilaté leurs pupilles
Encore un petit effort
Pour changer le plomb en or
J'y étais presque et pourtant
Cette mélodie me joue des tours
Et me fait de l'ombre tous les jours
Rest' là Maloya, rest' là Maloya,
rest' là Maloya, rest' là Maloya,
rest' là même
Tu veux changer de peau
Voler beaucoup plus haut
Ca te file entre les doigts
T'avais pas prévu ça
Jolie fleur carnivore
Tu veux ton passeport
Sur les grands continents
Y' a pas de sentiments
Les trésors de pacotille
Les poupées qu'on déshabille
Ont des regards inquiétants
Sédentaires rêves des îles
Où le monde entier défile
J'y étais presque et pourtant
Cette mélodie me joue des tours
Et me fait de l'ombre tous les jours
Rest' là Maloya, rest' là Maloya,
rest' là Maloya, rest' là Maloya,
rest' là même
Un grand soleil d'automne
Emporte monotone
Les violons, les mirages
Les rêves, les voyages
Même si ça vous étonne
Je ne dis à personne
Quel est le vrai visage
De mon ancien naufrage
J' voulais aller sur une plage
M'allonger comme un sauvage
Oublier, tourner la page
Pour l'instant dans la centrale
Je travaille le code pénal
J'y étais presque et pourtant
Cette mélodie me joue des tours
Et me fait de l'ombre tous les jours
Rest' là Maloya, rest' là Maloya,
rest' là Maloya, rest' là Maloya,
rest' là même
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.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
