Ta dernière note vibre encore
Et le matin jaunit
Change encore de décor
Ton sax désossé
Au rancart de la mort
Pousse un dernier soleil
Vers le sang du dehors
A force de chercher
Une vie essentielle
A force de souffler
Les bougies du réel
A force de tourner
Les cartes du possible
Le printemps a givré
Ta musique invisible
Où joues-tu maintenant?
Dans quel nuage rauque
Envoies-tu tes chorus
Un peu rauque, un peu doux
Dans quelle cave lointaine
Parleras-tu d'amour
Jusqu'au levé du jour
Je n'y crois pas encore
C'est une fugue un rien
T'es parti comme on sort
Tu vas téléphoner
avec ta voix qui traîne
Demander des nouvelles
Des petits du poème
Qu'on écrivait ensemble
Dans nos nuits électriques
Tu es parti tout seul
Tu as coulé à pic
Et dans ta veine bleue
Cette aiguille glacée
Fait fleurir du dollar
Chez des dealers planqués
Je vais gueuler plus fort
Je vais gueuler encore
Que je hais ce bourrin
Ce plastique et ce fer
Ce voyage truqué
Ce remède de misère
Qui s'en va vers la mort
Papillons bleus et noirs
Découpés au couteau
Tournant dans les miroirs
Dévorant les photos
Et mitant ma mémoire
Emportée par le vent
Glacé du désespoir
Je te fais ce cadeau
A l'écriture fragile
Sur cette musique triste
Et belle du Brésil
Avec la voix cassée
Dérisoire inutile
Qui ne réchauffe plus
Ton cœur entre tes cils
T'es parti une fois de trop
C'est difficile
Et tout sera classé
Au fond d'un fait divers
On dit que c'est fini
Que c'est déjà hier
Et on sort prendre l'air
(Merci à XAVXXL pour cettes paroles)
The lyrics SAX' APHONE of BERNARD LAVILLIERS is also present in the album T'es vivant? (1990)
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.
