Urubus, vous n'avez pas de cri
Cri de chasse, cri d'amour, cri de peur
Urubus, vous attendez qu'on meure
Mort de faim, mort d'amour, mort de peur
Cercles noirs cisaillants le ciel vide
Sans espoirs, attentifs et avides
Sans beauté, sans couleur et sans race
Obstinés, nettoyeurs et voraces
Anonymes citoyens solitaires
Charognards, utiles, élémentaires
Voyageur si tu plies, si tu tombes
Méfie-toi de l'ombre de ton ombre
Urubus, vous n'avez pas de cri
Cri de chasse, cri d'amour, cri de peur
Urubus, vous attendez qu'on meure
Mort de faim, mort d'amour, mort de peur
C'est ta vie qui ne tient qu'à un fil
Si tendu, si ténu, si fragile
Angle droit du désert du Sertão
Si stérile, si perdu, si brûlant
Le soleil, mangeur d'hommes et de fous
Immobile, efficace et tout roux
Trace encore quelques barreaux obliques
Entre toi et ta mort symétrique
Urubus, vous n'avez pas de cri
Cri de chasse, cri d'amour, cri de peur
Urubus, vous attendez qu'on meure
Mort de faim, mort d'amour, mort de peur
Le silence est un cri qu'on étouffe
Et la peur du sable dans ta bouche
La lumière un fusil dans les reins
La fatigue un foyer qu'on éteint
Tous tes pas dans la poussière qui danse
Sont comptés par le temps qui avance
Tu oublies et tu crois qu'il s'endort
Il te suivra jusqu'à Salvador
Tournez, Urubus
Quand la lumière des villes s'obscurcit vers le néon fragile !
Planez, Urubus
Au-dessus des soumis comme une ombre portée sur la vie !
Vivez, Urubus
Cachés dans vos buildings sans un cri, penchés sur vos plannings !
Vivez, Urubus
Glissez vos doigts d'acier dans nos démocraties avancées !
Tournez, Urubus
Donnez-nous un peu d'air et on vous laisse le phosphate et le fer !
Tournez, Urubus
Qui contrôlez le temps, mines d'or, de platine, de diamants !
Tuez, Urubus
Tout ce qui vous résiste, ce qui vit, qui respire, qui existe !
Fouillez, Urubus
Au fond de leurs entrailles, becs crochus, longs couteaux et tenailles !
Cherchez, Urubus
Ce qui nous fait marcher, ce qui nous fait rêver, nous aimer !
Planez, Urubus
Au-dessus du linceul que déchire le poing d'un homme seul !
Crevez, Urubus
Tombez comme des pierres sur la terre, le goudron en enfer !
Personne Urubus
Ne viendra vous becqueter
Même pas les fourmis rouges affamées
Urubus
Les aigles sont déchus
Innombrables vous gardez les issues !
The lyrics URUBUS of BERNARD LAVILLIERS is also present in the album Pouvoirs (1989)
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.
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
