Où sont-ils donc tous ces pays
Dont on nous parle dans les chansons
Ils sont ailleurs bien loin d'ici
Nuits tropicales, clairs horizons.
Soleil de feu sur la mer Rouge
Palmiers géants de l'Hindoustan.
Technicolor mon cœur qui bouge
Voudrait connaître tous les printemps.
Toute la semaine je vis au fond de mon quartier
Je n'y vois qu'un mur j'n'en vois même qu'la moitié
Et dans l'fond là-bas sur une corde à linge
Des caleçons, des chemises qui font les singes.
J'voudrais un jour quitter tout ça
Voguer vers c'que je n'connais pas.
Où sont-ils donc tous ces palais
Tous ces trésors brillant la nuit
Ces beaux garçons dans les forêts
Qui tuent des lions et mangent des fruits,
Qui se suspendent à toutes les lianes
Et puis vous prennent au creux d'leurs bras
Où sont-ils donc dites ! ma sœur Anne
Tous ces pays de cinéma.
Où sont-ils donc, ces pays-là ?
Ils sont là-bas, là-bas, là-bas
Mais moi je sais
Je sais qu'ils sont
De faux pays
Dans les chansons.
Charles Trenet (Louis Charles Auguste Claude Trenet), nato il 18 maggio 1913 a Narbonne e morto il 19 febbraio 2001 a Créteil, è stato un cantautore francese di grande successo. La sua carriera artistica, iniziata negli anni '30, ha raggiunto l'apice tra la fine degli anni '30 e la metà degli anni '50, pur continuando fino agli anni '90. Trenet si distingueva per aver scritto la maggior parte delle sue canzoni, rifiutandosi di registrare brani composti da altri artisti in un periodo storico in cui era raro che i cantanti scrivessero le proprie musiche. Tra i suoi successi più noti figurano "La Mer", "Boum!" e "Y'a d'la joie". Trenet ha contribuito a definire il sound della chanson francese, influenzando generazioni di artisti.

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.
