aragarnaAh! Jeez, took me a while. I knew there was a reason why I was associating ice creams with Alain Souchon. At first I thought it was from J'ai 10 ans. But nope. Limonade, chewing gums, but no mention of ice creams.
BUT I found it! It's a more recent one (1999... yes, that's relatively recent. I remember when that album came out. As opposed to growing up with the older songs.) Tailler la zone. He dreams of going away with an ice cream vendor. :) (The clip, no matter how official, doesn't go well with the lyrics if you ask me...)
Vendeuse de glaces, boulevard de la plage, sous sa bache elle était belle
Un sourrire un peu triste, j'ai senti fraise-cassis, que j'pourrais tailler la zone avec elle
Le soir sur les falaises, on est allés vanille-fraise, saluer le soleil sur son trône
En m'enlaçant elle m'a dit, vendre des glaces m'ennuie, on laisse tout, on taille la zone
Dans mon 2 pièces à Paris, elle répétait toutes les nuits, on reste pas dans l'hexagone
J'lui disais, laisse-moi faire, je règle quelques affaires, après c'est sûr on taille la zone
Moi, l'bureau, l'ordinateur et mon aspirateur, ces catalogues de mobil-homes
Je savais qu'c'était minable, j'me suis abonné au cable, on taillait pas vraiment la zone
Elle me disait déconne pas, déconne pas, on va pas rester comme sa, je veux les prairies, les fleurs jaunes
On va pas faire comme les gens, vivre à cose de l'argent, on laisse tout, on taille la zone
Elle rêvait de voyages, de bagages, de paysages, les grosses Harley avec les chômes
Moi, mon portable et mes calmants, mon plan d'épargne logement, notre amour taillait la zone
Je m'suis rêveillé une nuit, marchande de glace partie, j'avais perdu mon p'tit Kim Cône
Y'a plein de filles sur la terre mais quand j'vois une planisphère, j'ai le coeur qui taille la zone...
J'ai le coeur qui taille la zone...(x2)
My mom was a big fan of Alain Souchon, so I grew up with him. He's a true poet and I still love his songs today. He had quite a career. Started around the 70 I believe, and still sucessful today, even if he's not that active anymore.
Oh and talk about a true bromance. His BFF, Laurent Voulzy, is another singer. In more than 40 years of career, they've almost always written each other's songs (Alain Souchon would write the lyrics, Laurent Voulzy would compose the music). Last year, they finally released their first duo album. :)
They're so deeply associated with my childhood, that I have flashes of my childhood each time I hear one of their songs. There's a song where Souchon calls himself a "bathroom singer" (like a loser), and I'm no kidding you, it brings back images of the old bathroom of my parents' house, that has been renovated like 20 years ago. (I know it's a metaphore, but at 5 years old, I was taking things quite literally, so I was picturing him singing in a bathroom... LOL And it stuck with me.)
