Biography

The young François Feldman spent his adolescence listening soul music, including songs by Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and James Brown, among other artists. His father gave him his first guitar at fourteen years of age, and François won first prize several times in the radio contests he entered. He created his first group at the age of 14 and appeared in a few clubs. In 1980, Feldman recorded his first song, "You Want Every Night", then "Ma Petite Vidéo" in 1982, "Folle sur les bords" in 1983 summer, "Wally boule noire" and "Obsession" in 1984, and finally "Amour de corridor" in 1985, but all these singles remained unsuccessful.

In 1986, he became famous with his song "Rien que pour toi" which reached number 12 on the SNEP Singles Chart and sold 200,000 units. Thereafter, Feldman had many hits in France, becoming a well established star in France. He has sold very well over his 25-year career, selling about ten million albums in several countries, including Belgium, Italy, Canada and Japan.
Released in 1989, his second studio album entitled Une Présence was more successful and contains several hit singles, such as "Joue pas", recorded as a duet with Joniece Jamison, "Les Valses de Vienne", "Petit Frank" and "C'est toi qui m'as fait" which were all top-2 hits in France. The same year, he wrote the hit single "J'aurais voulu te dire" for Caroline Legrand. This album was followed by Magic Boul'vard, released in 1991, and provided to Feldman a third number one hit in France, "Joy", a song dedicated to the singer's daughter.

Since 1993, and his album Indigo, Feldman has been less successful and unable to repeat his previous feats on the charts. Despite releasing four albums, he has been almost absent from the media and his sales have become more restricted. He currently continues his artistic career giving popular concerts throughout France.

In 2007, "Rien que pour toi" was covered by Tatiana Laurens who took part in the French TV reality show Secret Story.

Je Te Retrouverai
François Feldman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Et si je pense à toi jusqu'au bout de mes doigts,
Si j'épuise le piano de musiques pour toi,
Si je change vraiment, si je n'sais plus mentir,
Dans un mois, dans un an pour finir,
Je te retrouverai.

Si je n'fais plus couler les ruisseaux de tes yeux,
Si je n'fais plus de tache sur tes océans bleus,

Si je n' laisse plus traîner mes vieilles histoires d'amour,
Quand je serai guéri, un beau jour,
Je te retrouverai.

Je te retrouverai mieux qu'avant,
Même si c'est loin, même si c'est demain.
Je te retrouverai autrement.
C'est gravé, c'est gravé dans le creux de nos mains.

Si j'te prends dans mes bras tous les soirs de la vie,
Si j'te laisse regarder le monde sans jalousie,
Si j'n'empêche plus les hommes de croiser ton regard,
Je sais qu'il reste encore un espoir.
Je te retrouverai.

Je te retrouverai mieux qu'avant,
Même si c'est loin, même si c'est demain.
Je te retrouverai autrement.
C'est gravé, c'est gravé dans le creux de nos mains

Et si tu me pardonnes pour le mal que je t'ai fait,
Je n'laiss'rai à personne le bonheur de t'aimer.
Si j'efface d'un coup mes folies d'autrefois,
Même si tu n'y crois pas,
Je te retrouverai.

Je te retrouverai mieux qu'avant,
Même si c'est loin, même si c'est demain.
Je te retrouverai autrement.
C'est gravé, c'est gravé dans le creux de nos mains.

Je te retrouverai mieux qu'avant,
Même si c'est loin, même si c'est demain.
Je te retrouverai autrement.
C'est gravé, c'est gravé dans le creux de nos mains.

Je te retrouverai...
