Ni la pluie, ni le vent, ni la mer

N'effaceront jamais nos pas

Car ils sont gravés dans ma chair

Tous ces bonheurs qu'on ne dit pas

 

La nuit où j'ai enfin osé

M'approcher juste un peu de toi

Un jour, ton visage apaisé

Un premier enfant dans les bras

 

Quand je vois sa sceur ou ses filles

Marcher sur le sable pieds nus

Je te regarde et j'ai envie

Que le spectacle continue

 

Les lendemains de carnaval

L'accordéon, les confettis

Les parfums reviennent en rafale

Et dans la tête et dans la ville

 

Les lendemains de carnaval

Les baisers pris, les corps frôlés

Partent avec l'amour en cavale

Vers d'autres fêtes où défiler

 

Il y'aura toujours un après

Ce sera l'or de ma vieillesse

De penser aux miens qui s'aimaient

Longtemps, bien avant que je naisse

 

Puisqu'on est passagers sur terre

Ce voyage avec toi je veux

Le vivre encore et je suis fier

Du spectacle au fond de nos yeux.

LOVER’S CROSS

JIM CROCE

SONGWRITERS: JIM CROCE

COUNTRY: U. S. A.

ALBUM: I GOT A NAME

LABEL: PLATINUM

GENRE: ROCK

YEAR: 1985

 

        Jim Croce was an American singer-songwriter with five studio albums and 12 singles to his credit. His posthumously-released fifth studio album was completed just prior to his 1973 death, and seven singles were also posthumously issued, one of which was "Time in a Bottle" from a previous album You Don't Mess Around with Jim. His popularity continued long after his death with the release of numerous compilation albums and "new" material (from the vaults) being portioned out sporadically over the years. Three live albums, as well as a live DVD, have also been published.

       Croce's first two studio albums Facets and Croce (aka Jim & Ingrid Croce) did not chart, but his third, You Don't Mess Around with Jim, peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 following his death. This album featured three singles, "You Don't Mess Around with Jim", "Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels)", and "Time in a Bottle". His fourth álbum Life and Times peaked at No. 2 in the United States, but reached No. 1 in Canada in late December 1973. It featured the singles "One Less Set of Footsteps", "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown", and "It Doesn't Have to Be That Way".

          "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" achieved great success, reaching the No. 1 position on the Billboard Hot 100. "Time in a Bottle" went from a relatively unknown album cut to a posthumous No. 1 after the boost it received from being featured in the ABC TV-movie She Lives. His fifth album, I Got a Name, was released in December 1973 and reached the No. 2 position in both the United States and Canada. This album would feature the title song "I Got a Name", "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song", and "Workin' at the Car Wash Blues". The song, "I Got a Name" had been released as a single during Croce's lifetime, but "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" became a posthumous number one release when it reached the top position on Billboard Adult Contemporary Singles in 1974.

          Several compilation albums such as Down the Highway and The Faces I've Been were released in the mid 1970s, the latter containing unissued and demo recordings from an unreleased album. Two songs from "The Faces I've Been" were released as singles, "Chain Gang Medley" and "Mississippi Lady". They would be his final singles released. Another compilation album, Photographs & Memories became a successful release by reaching No. 1 on the Canadian charts and No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in the United States. It also achieved a platinum certification in the United States, and a Gold certification in Hong Kong.

          Even after his death, his popularity continued and a demand for unreleased material caused a live album to be released, Jim Croce Live: The Final Tour. It was recorded during the summer of 1973. More demo recordings were released in 2003 on the álbum Home Recordings: Americana. A DVD featuring live concert footage was also released in 2003, Have You Heard: Jim Croce Live which later spawned a CD featuring the audio from the concert footage.

Guess that it was bound to happen

Was just a matter of time

But now I've come to my decision

And it's a-one of the painful kind

'Cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr

Just a regular guy wouldn't do

But baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

 

Yes, I really got to hand it to you

'Cause girl you really tried

But for every time that we spent laughin'

There were two times that I cried

And you were tryin' to make me your martyr

And that's the one thing I just couldn't do

'Cause baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

 

'Cause tables are meant for turnin'

And people are bound to change

And bridges are meant for burnin'

When the people and mem'ries they join aren't the same

So I'll hope that you can find

Another who can take what I could not

He'll have to be a super guy

Or maybe a super god

'Cause I never was much of a martyr before

And I ain't 'bout to start nothin' new

And baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

 

'Cause tables are meant for turnin'

And people are bound to change

And bridges are meant for burnin'

When the people and mem'ries they join aren't the same

 

So I'll hope that you can find

Another who can take what I could not

He'll have to be a super guy

Or maybe a super god

'Cause I never was much of a martyr before

And I ain't 'bout to start nothin' new

And baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you. 

 QUI SAIT QUI SAIT QUI SAIT

COMPOSITEUR: OSVALDO FARRÉS

PAYS: FRANCE

ALBUM: QUI SAIT, QUI SAIT, QUI SAIT

RECORD: COLUMBIA

GENRE: JAZZ

ANNÉE: 1947

 

         Marcel Eugène Ageron dit Jacques Larue, né dans le 10e arrondissement de Paris le 28 mars 1906 et mort dans le 16e arrondissement de Paris le 20 janvier 1961, est un parolier français.

        À la fin des années 1930, Jacques Larue fait irruption dans la chanson en remportant d'emblée le Grand prix de l'A.B.C. par l'intermédiaire de Jean Sablon qui interprète Mon village au clair de lune(musique de Jean Lutèce).

    Ensuite, collaborant notamment avec les compositeurs Louiguy et Alec Siniavine, il écrit, durant les années 1940, plusieurs succès pour Léo Marjane (L'Âme du diable, Tendrement tristement) et Maurice Chevalier (Ça sent si bon la France). Pour Lucienne Delyle, il écrit entre autres Je crois aux navires (musique de Marguerite Monnot), Le reste est sans importance (musique d'Alec Siniavine), Viens demain (musique de Louiguy), et surtout, il pose un texte délicat sur la célèbre mélodie composée par Django Reinhardt Nuages qui devient une chanson qu'elle interprète en 1942.

           Dans les années 1950, son sens de la rime aidant, il donne à André Claveau quelques-unes de ses plus grandes chansons composées par Louiguy, dont Cerisier rose et pommier blanc et l'intemporelle Bon anniversaire (nos vœux les plus sincères...) devenue un classique national, chanson originale du film Un jour avec vous de Jean-René Legrand (1951).

            Il écrit également pour Édith Piaf: Miséricorde (1955), Avec ce soleil (1956), Rue de Siam (1960), Les Bleuets d'azur (1961), et également pour Frida Boccara qui obtient l'un de ses premiers succès avec Cherbourg avait raison (1961).

          Pour le cinéma français, il écrit les chansons des films: Le Camion blanc de Léo Joannon (1943), Amour et Compagnie de Gilles Grangier (1950), Sur le pavé de Paris, musique de Georges Auric, du film La Fête à Henriette de Julien Duvivier (1952) et le célèbre Rififi interprété par Magali Noël sur la musique de Philippe-Gérard composée pour le film non moins célèbre Du rififi chez les hommes de Jules Dassin(1955).

        Des années 1950 aux années 1960, le Nouveau disque microsillon influence la production musicale mondiale et propulse la chanson aux premiers rangs de la culture populaire, ce qui conduit Jacques Larue, comme beaucoup d'autres auteurs-compositeurs, à réaliser une multitude d'adaptatiONS de succès provenant principalement d'Europe et d'Amérique.

Tu jures que tu m'aimes
Bien plus que moi je t'aime
Pourtant je dis quand même:
"Qui Sait, Qui Sait, Qui Sait"
 
Tu dis que sur la terre
C'est moi que tu preferes
Que nul ne peut te plaire
Qui Sait, Qui Sait, Qui Sait
 
Un soir dans une danse
Un autre s'avance
Déjà ton cœur frivole
Dans ta robe tourne et vole
Et ce baiser qu'il ose voler
Sur ta joue rose tu dis:
"C'est peu de chose",
Qui sait, qui sait, qui sait
 
Tu dis que dans la danse
Les tendres confidences
N'ont guère d'importance,
Qui sait, qui sait, qui sait
 
La preuve est qu'au passage
S'il frôle ton corsage,
Lequel est le moins sage,
Qui sait, qui sait, qui sait
 
Pour peu que l'amourette
Te tourne la tête,
Vas-tu m'être infidèle
Pour de telles bagatelles?
Mais si jamais tu oses,
Moi même, je suppose,
Ferais la même chose,
Qui sait, qui sait, qui sait
 
Et ce baiser qu'il ose voler
Sur ta joue rose tu dis:
"C'est peu de chose",
Qui sait, qui sait, qui sait.
