Americana


Americana c'est un mot qui craque dans la nuit
Americana c'est un peu de rêve et de folie
Americana c'est un mot qui parle de géant
Americana a la fureur de vivre en noir et blanc

L'avion se pose en silence,
Comme un goéland qui vient de France
Sur la ville qui sommeille, l'ombre d'une statue ce réveille
Du ciel gris de l'Atlantique, au soleil brûlant du Pacifique
C'est une île qui vagabonde
une lie jusqu'au beau milieu du monde

Americana, Americana
C'est l'Amérique, qui fait rêver
Americana, Americana,
Joue ta musique fais moi danser

Manhattan, centième étage
Accroché son cœur dans les nuages
Quand San-Francisco s'affolent
Au rythmes des amours qui s'envolent
On se saoule de musique
Sur des mots souvent mélancolique
Las-Vegas et ses machines
Et ses filles sorties des magazines

Americana, Americana
C'est l'Amérique, qui fait rêver
Americana, Americana,
Joue ta musique fais moi danser

Americana c'est un mot qui craque dans la nuit
Americana c'est un peu de rêve et de folie
Americana c'est un mot qui parle de géant
Americana a la fureur de vivre en noir et blanc

Et moi qui suis d'ici d'ailleurs de nul part
Je refais souvent le voyage, ce voyage
Depuis que j'ai vu l'Amérique
Ces plages au parfums d'Acapulco
Plongées d'avenues au numéros
Et ses boulevards plus longs que des villes
Ces quartiers qui parlent en Italien
Restaurants Chinois ou Parisiens
Où chacun retrouve un peu de son pays

Americana c'est un mot qui craque dans la nuit
Americana c'est un peu de rêve et de folie
Americana c'est un mot qui parle de géant
Americana a la fureur de vivre en noir et blanc

Americana, Americana
C'est l'Amérique, qui fait rêver
Americana, Americana,
Joue ta musique fais moi danser

Americana c'est un mot qui parle de géant
Americana a la fureur de vivre en noir et blanc
Americana c'est un peu de rêve et de folie
Americana c'est un mot qui claque dans la nuit.
