Sinclar started DJing in 1986, when he was just 18 years old, specializing in funk and hip-hop music, with the name Chris The French Kiss. His first club hit was Gym & Tonic, a track produced by Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk, featuring unauthorized vocals taken from a Jane Fonda fitness tape. The Bob Sinclar persona was based on a character from Philippe de Broca's film Le Magnifique.

Sinclar is famous for popularizing the "french touch" of house music, with heavy use of sampled and filtered disco strings. His track "Feel For You", a tribute to french musician Cerrone, from his second album Champs Elysées, hit #9 in the UK Top 40. On track "Darlin'", he worked with vocalist James "D-Train" Williams.

Sinclar has also worked under other pseudonyms. Under the aliases The Mighty Bop and Reminiscence Quartet, he has dabbled in hip-hop and acid jazz. He also created the Africanism project, where an ensemble of artists produce house music with a combination of latin, jazz, african and tribal flavors. In 2005 he scored a hit with his single "Love Generation", that reached #1 on the Australian ARIA Singles Charts and the German Media Control Single Charts in 2006. The song was a huge success throughout Europe, also peaking at no. 2 in the Dutch Top 40. The followup hit was "World, Hold On", that features Steve Edwards and also managed to chart in the top ten in most of the European countries. "Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now)" followed on August 22, 2006.

The remix of "World, Hold on" by E-Smoove is nominated for a Grammy 2007 in the category "Remixed Recording". Also, "World Hold on" was chosen by Billboard Magazine as the number one Hot Dance Club Play Single of 2006, beating Madonna and Christina Aguilera.

The fourth single of the album 'Western Dream' called 'Tennessee' was supposed to be released in April 2007, but has been cancelled due to the rumour of a new album being released.

That album was Soundz of Freedom. It came out in May 2007.

His latest album is Born In 69, released 2 years after the last album, May 2009. The first single of the album was LaLa Song, together with Sugarhill Gang

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Me dijiste que te ivas
y tus lavios sonrreian
mas tus ojos eran trozos del dolor
no quise hablar
solo al final te dije adios
solo adios
Yo no se si fue el orgullo
o a que cosa lo atribuyo

te deje partir sin tiendo tanto amor
taz vez hacia falta solo un por favor
detente amor
Uooaah...
No se, vivir si no es contigo
No se, no tengo valor
No se, Vivir si no es contigo
No se, nose ni quien soy

Desde el dia en que te fuiste
tengo el alma mas que triste
y mañana se miy bien va ser peor

Como olvidar ese mirar desolador
pero amor(aunque queda amor)Uuuuh...

No se, vivir sino es contigo
no se, no tengo valor
No se vivir si no es contigo
no se, no se ni quien soy
No se, vivir si no es contigo
no se, no se ni quien soy
No se, vivir si no es contigo
no se, no se ni quien soy

No se, vivir si no es contigo
no se, no se ni quien soy...

The singer, unable to express his emotions, says goodbye with reluctance. He wonders if he let his pride get in the way, as he let his love go without even asking for her to stay. He finds it hard to live without her, feeling lost and unsure of his identity. The day she left, he became the saddest he's ever been, and the days to come only feel worse.

The chorus sings, "I don't know how to live without you, I don't have the strength. I don't know who I am if I'm not with you." The song encapsulates the pain of heartbreak and the struggle to move on. The intertwined emotions of love, pride, and regret are present in every line.

Overall, "Europa" is a poignant song about heartbreak that captures the pain of lost love. It encourages the listener to confront their emotions and understand that it is okay not to know the answers.
