By the age of six Calogero had already taken an interest in music. He quickly learned to play several instruments, including the flute, piano and bass, and in 1986 became the lead singer and song-writer for the band Charts. He started it together with his brother, Gioacchino, and a childhood friend, Francis Maggiulli. Between 1989 and 1997, "Charts" released 5 albums : "L'océan sans fond" (1989), "Notre monde à nous" (1991), "Hannibal" (1994), "Acte 1" (1995), and "Changer" (1997).
As the band began to lose its momentum, Calogero decided to launch himself as a solo artist and gathered important connections by writing songs and collaborating with already popular artists, such as Zazie and Pascal Obispo. The latter helped produce Calogero's first solo album Au milieu des autres (2000). His second album, Calogero (2002) was a huge success with the hit singles "En apesanteur", "Aussi libre que moi", "Tien an men" and "Prendre racine". Finally, in 2004, Calogero released .calog3ro, containing "Face à la mer", a duet with French rapper Passi, and several other top singles such as "Yalla" and "Si seulement je pouvais lui manquer".
Calogero's moving lyrics and frail, tender voice have made him one of France's top pop/rock singers.
Le Plus Beau Jour
Calogero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
C'est avec toi ici
Naître un matin et mourir le soir
Mon seul pays mon seul amour
Et rien d'autre ne compte
Un seul ami, un seul amour et plus rien autour
Tout est si simple
C'est le plus beau jour de ma vie
Tout est si pur
Mais rien ne dure
C'est le plus beau jour de ma vie
C'est avec toi ici
Loger sans payer
Ne plus t'inquiéter
Puisqu'on a plus d'affaires
On a plus à s'en faire
Et quand le soir approche
Je ne regrette rien
Ni mon ami, ni mon amour, ni les autres jours
Tout est si beau
Tout est si simple
C'est le plus beau jour de ma vie
Tout est si pur
Mais rien ne dure
C'est le plus beau jour de ma vie
C'est avec toi ici
C'est avec toi ici
