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.

Toujours Un Coin Qui Me Rappelle

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je marche seul le long des rues où nous allions
Tous les deux avant
À chaque pas, je me souviens
Comme on s'aimait auparavant
Comment pouvoir t'oublier?

Il y a toujours un coin qui me rappelle
Toujours un coin qui me rappelle

Je suis né pour t'aimer
Je serai toujours ainsi
Tu restes la vie de ma vie
Wo, wo, wo

Quand l'ombre vient, mon pas m'entraîne
Où l'on allait danser le soir
Je me revois, là, t'embrassant
Et serrant fort tous mes espoirs
Comment pouvoir t'oublier?

Il y a toujours un coin qui me rappelle
Toujours un coin qui me rappelle
Je suis né pour t'aimer
Et je serai toujours ainsi
Tu restes la vie de ma vie
Wo, wo, wo, oh, oh, oh!

If I should find you miss the sweet and tender love
We used to share
Just come back to the places where we used to go
And I'll be there
How can I forget you?

When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me

I was born to love you
And I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me
Hmm-hmm-hmm, yeah

Je n'aimerai personne d'autre (shou-wa-da, shou-shou-shou-wa-da)
Je n't'oublierai pas pour une autre (shou-wa-da, shou-shou-shou-wa-da)
Tu restes la vie de ma vie (shou-wa-da, shou-shou-shou-wa-da)

Je n'aimerai personne d'autre
(shou-wa-da, shou-shou-shou-wa-da)
Je n't'oublierai pas pour une autre

(shou-wa-da, shou-shou-shou-wa-da)
Tu restes la vie de ma vie
