Florent Pagny
Florent Pagny was born on November 6, 1961 in Chalons sur Saone, France. He showed an interest in singing at a very early age by belting Luis Mariano and Michel Sardou songs to the great delight of his mother. When he turned 15, he moved to Paris and assiduously followed singing lessons at the academy of Levallois Perret while earning his living by doing odd jobs. While working as a barman, he was spotted by the casting agent Dominique Besnehard who found him a part in the Jean Jacques Beineix movie Diva which unfortunately ended up on the cutting floor.

While working as a barman, he was spotted by the casting agent Dominique Besnehard who found him a part in the Jean Jacques Beineix movie Diva which unfortunately ended up on the cutting floor.
From a series of minor parts, Pagny moved from cinema to TV. In 1985, he got co-writing credits for Michel Gerard's film "Blessure". Two years later, he recorded its first single "N'importe quoi". The success was immediate for this non-conformist.
He won a Victoire, a prestigious French music award, in 1989, yet the following year his second album bombed following a media boycott. "Don't bite the hand that feeds you"!
After a long period of reflection, he came back on top with his album "Rester Vrai" in 1994. In 1997, his album "Savoir aimer" brought him enormous popularity.
He now spends his time between France and Patagonia where he lives with his wife on a 4000 hectare farm pursuing his two passions: motor biking and fishing.
In 2004, Pagny took on an ambitious project: "Baryton", an album made up of titles of the traditional repertory with an amazing 70 member string orchestra and a 60 member choir under the direction of Yvon Cassar. This album was a true success.
In 2006 with the album "Abracadabra" Pagny returned to more of a pop style and delivered a superb album with poignant lyrics "Le Mur" or "Là où je t'emmènerai".
In 2007, "Pagny Chante Brel", launched a tribute album containing eleven songs by the great singer Jacques Brel.
In 2009, "C'est comme ça" came out as a spanish language album. Recorded in Miami with latin composers and musicians, this worthwhile effort showed the extend of his talent across language barriers.
On Nov 12th 2010, "Tout et son contraire" is Pagny's lucky 13th album. With a french album with songs penned by Grégoire, Calogéro, Pascal Obispo and Marc Lavoine, this album is more conventional fare for this now Miami Resident.
In 2010, Pagny also released Baryton. Gracias a la vida his first of two Spanish albums.
In 2013, Viellir avec toi, 2016 Habana his second spanish album, 2017 Le présent d'abord, 2018 Tout Simplement and 2019 Aime La vie.
Remarquably, since 1990 Pagny's albums have always reached the top 5 in the French market, a remarkable 30 year run.
Pagny is a recurring figure as a judge of the French version of the Voice.

Savoir aimer
Florent Pagny Lyrics
Savoir sourire
À une inconnue qui passe
N'en garder aucune trace
Sinon celle du plaisir
Savoir aimer
Sans rien attendre en retour
Ni égard, ni grand amour
Pas même l'espoir d'être aimé
Mais savoir donner
Donner sans reprendre
Ne rien faire qu'apprendre
Apprendre à aimer
Aimer sans attendre
Et aimer à tout prendre
Apprendre à sourire
Rien que pour le geste
Sans vouloir le reste
Et apprendre à vivre
Et s'en aller
Savoir attendre
Goûter à ce plein bonheur
Qu'on vous donne comme par erreur
Tant on ne l'attendait plus
Se voir y croire
Pour tromper la peur du vide
Ancrée comme autant de rides
Qui ternissent les miroirs
Savoir donner
Donner sans reprendre
Ne rien faire qu'apprendre
Apprendre à aimer
Aimer sans attendre
Et aimer à tout prendre
Apprendre à sourire
Rien que pour le geste
Sans vouloir le reste
Et apprendre à vivre
Et s'en aller
Savoir souffrir
En silence, sans murmure
Ni défense ni armure
Souffrir à vouloir mourir
Se relever
Comme on renaît de ses cendres
Avec tant d'amour à revendre
Qu'on tire un trait sur le passé
Mais savoir donner
Donner sans reprendre
Ne rien faire qu'apprendre
Apprendre à aimer
Aimer sans attendre
Et aimer à tout prendre
Apprendre à sourire
Rien que pour le geste
Sans vouloir le reste
Et apprendre à vivre
Et s'en aller
Apprendre à rêver
À rêver pour deux
Rien qu'en fermant les yeux
Et savoir donner
Donner sans rature
Ni demi-mesure
Apprendre à rester
Vouloir jusqu'au bout
Rester malgré tout
Apprendre à aimer
Et s'en aller
Et s'en aller
Et s'en aller

Le temps passe vite , la première fois que j'ai écouté cette chanson était en 98, j'avais 15 ans. Maintenant j'ai 37 ans et je ressens la même sensation à chaque fois que j'écoute "savoir aimer"

Oh mon Dieu c'est plus q genial

L´Amour, l´Amitié, c´est le partage d´un Bonheur d´un échange merveilleux.
Donner et ne jamais réclamer ce que Tu m´as donné...
Merci Dominique pour ce Don
Spero Viribus
Il a réclamé le prix du billet, une part pour le CD, une part dans le tube vendu en ligne... il a rien donné, son métier c’est chanter pour de l’argent. Moi aussi je l’aime bien mais il faut mettre les choses à leur place.
Dominique Poulmarc'h
Merci du commentaire, oui comme vous dites" le partage d´un Bonheur d´un échange merveilleux.
Donner et ne jamais réclamer ce que Tu m´as donné " tout y est déjà dit... c'est aussi de très belles chansons française !

Un jour je terrai sa chanson dans the voice je l aim aime trop

La plus erreur, c'est s'attendre à recevoir en retour. Il a bien raison.
