He first came to the music industry's attention with his collaboration with, and arrangements for, Keren Ann and his sister Coralie Clément. Finally earning a solo contract after many years of struggle, Biolay released his debut album, Rose Kennedy, in 2002. A concept album, Rose Kennedy looks at early 1960s America through the cataractic eyes of the late matriarch, who went from attending dinner parties to suffering the assassination of two of her sons.
Next up was Négatif, a double CD full of sometimes violent imagery surrounding a group of drifters, which included a disaffected, oddly sympathetic, american named Billy Bob. Biolay released two albums in 2005, A L'origine (translated: In The Beginning) is a darker, denser work than his previous outings, while Home is a light, sunny duet album with his wife, started when they noticed that they needed good road trip CD to listen to while on vacation. He has also written film scores, songs and arrangements for such beloved french stars as Francoise Hardy, Juliette Greco and Henri Salvador.
He worked with Elodie Frégé on her second album Le Jeu des 7 erreurs
(including lead single "La Ceinture") which was released in autumn 2006.

Benjamin Biolay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ma petite faiblesse, ma plus belle histoire de fesses
Dans la Mercedes, c'est de l'espoir que je caresse
Soviet suprême, t'es mon plus beau problème
Dans ton abdomen, tout nouveau spécimen
Choux à la crème, c'est de l'espoir que je promène
Mon amour hélas, le temps passe
Mon amour hélas, le temps passe
Mon amour hélas, le temps passe
Petite princesse, c'est pas l'heure de la grand-messe
Mais charmante hôtesse, qu'as-tu fait de ta jeunesse?
Dans la Merco Benz, c'est de l'espoir que je caresse
Petite connasse, pourquoi fais-tu ta radasse?
Telle une petite pétasse qui montre rien en surface
Qui veut qu'on l'embrasse encore, l'embrasse encore
Mon amour hélas, le temps passe
Mon amour hélas, le temps passe
Mon amour hélas, le temps passe
Mon amour hélas, le temps passe
Le temps passe
Mon amour hélas
Mon amour hélas
Le temps passe

The song "Dans la merco Benz" by Benjamin Biolay talks about a relationship between him and a "petite princesse" (little princess) who he considers his "beauté" (beauty), "promesse" (promise), and "plus belle histoire de fesses" (most beautiful butt story). The singer is in a Mercedes Benz with the girl and he hopes to achieve something, but it is not fully clear what that is. He describes her as a "Soviet suprême" meaning she is very powerful and dominant, and refers to something new in her abdomen that he calls a "nouveau spécimen" (new specimen). He offers her hope as he takes her around with him wherever he goes.
However, there is a sense of disappointment and regret throughout the song. Benjamin sings "mon amour hélas, le temps passe" (my love, unfortunately, time passes). He also calls her a "petite connasse" (little bitch). He questions her for being selfish and asks why she is acting like a "radasse" (stingy). It almost feels like he is questioning his own desires and attraction towards her.
The chorus repeats "mon amour hélas, le temps passe" which signifies the sadness and inevitability of the relationship coming to an end. The song encapsulates the complexities and contradictions that often exist within relationships and how they are often fleeting and temporary.

Little princess, my beauty, my promise
My little weakness, my most beautiful story of buttocks
In the mercedes, it's hope that I caress
Supreme Soviet, you are my biggest problem
In your abdomen, brand new specimen
Cream puffs, it's hope that I walk around
My love alas, time passes
My love alas, time passes
My love alas, time passes
My love alas, time passes
Little princess, it's not time for high mass
But charming hostess, what have you done with your youth?
In the Merco Benz, it's hope that I caress
Little idiot why are you talking about?
Like a little idiot that shows nothing on the surface
Who wants to be kissed again, kissed again
My love alas, time passes
My love alas, time passes
My love alas, time passes
My love alas, time passes
time passes
My love alas
My love alas
time passes
