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.

Prouver L'Amour
Calogero Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

J'anticipe les bruits du bonheur
Les bruits qui l'annoncent sont avant-coureurs
De plaisir
Elle s'engueule tout le temps avec tous les gens
Elle a de l'argument
Quand elle la descend
Ma rue lui va comme un gant

Prouver l'amour
Prouver tous les jours
Pour elle
Je suis pour

Obligé d'apprendre ses défauts par cœur
Bien obligé de prendre quelques cours en
N'importe quoi
Mais je doute que cela suffise
Son mystère est grand
Et précisément
Il lui va comme un gant

Prouver l'amour
Prouver tous les jours
Me mettre à jour
Pour elle je suis pour

J'anticipe les bruits du bonheur
Elle vient tout à l'heure
La nuit lui va comme un gant

Prouver l'amour
Pour elle je suis pour
Prouver l'amour
Prouver tous les jours
Pour elle je suis pour

Prouver l'amour
Prouver tous les jours

Pour elle je suis pour
Pour elle je suis prêt
