Ma Nouvelle-Orléans
Eddy Mitchell Lyrics
Violent, angoissant
Cruel, inhumain
Portant pourtant
Un joli prénom féminin
L'ouragan Katrina
Noie mon Jambalaya
Le bayou
Sera toujours blue
Ma Nouvelle-Orléans
Dieu semble t'avoir blessée
Oubliée et dédaignée
Je parle du Dieu argent
Du dollar frémissant
Des promesses du Texan
Menteur mais pourtant président
Le quartier français
N'est plus ce qu'il était
Les plantations
En Louisiane sentent moins bon
Mais le créole n'oublie pas
De fêter le mardi gras
Cajun
Ça sera mieux demain
Ma Nouvelle-Orléans
Des vautours viennent souvent
Touristes, voyeurs en manque
Des sensations déplacées
Ils viennent te voir pleurer
Regretter le passé
Ils payent à la demande
La belle histoire du Dixieland
Ma Nouvelle-Orléans
Berceau du blues enfant
Dieu semble t'avoir blessée
Oubliée et dédaignée
Je parle du Dieu argent
Du dollar trébuchant
Des promesses du Texan
Menteur mais pourtant président

Eddy Mitchell (born Claude Moine July 3, 1942, Paris) is a French singer and actor. He began his career in the late 1950s, with the group Les Chaussettes Noires (The Black Socks), taking his name from the American expatriate tough-guy actor Eddie Constantine (later the star of Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville). The band performed at the Parisian nightclub Le Golf Drouot before signing to Barclay Records and finding almost instant success; in 1961 it sold two million records.

Heavily influenced by American rock & roll, Mitchell (who went solo in 1963) has often recorded outside France, at first in London, but later in Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee. Guitarist Jimmy Page and drummer Bob Graham were among the British session musicians who regularly supported him in London.
