Je pars Maria
Francis Bebey Lyrics
Je pars, Maria
Je pars à la guerre
Dans le pays que je ne connais pas
Le pays très très loin
Faut pas pleurer Maria, faut pas pleurer
C'est le pays des amis
Je dois partir
Parce que il faut sauver les amis
Faut pas pleurer Maria, faut pas pleurer
La vie yen a à gauche, à droite
C'est même chose aujourd'hui
Ce jour là, chaud on a pas, froid on a pas
Je te dis [...]
C'est même chose aujourd'hui
Parce que la vie, la vie yen a à droite yen a à gauche
Alors, je pars, Maria
Je pars
Mais je reviendra encore
Si Dieu veut
Et si Dieu il veut aussi, moi je peux mourir même là bas
Je peux mourir pour de bon mourir
Et mourir point c'est tout
Mais toi,
Toi se vivras encore longtemps ici
Et je suis très content pour toi
Là haut si Dieu veux
Très contente
Alors faut pas pleurer Maria, faut pas pleurer
Je pars
Mais je reviendra
Je pars Maria

In the early 1960s, Bebey moved to France and started work in the arts, establishing himself as a musician, sculptor, and writer. His most popular novel was Agatha Moudio's Son. His writing and music often cross-fertilised, and he performed a song by that name, as well (Agatha). He also worked as a consultant for UNESCO.
Bebey released his first album in 1969. His music was primarily guitar-based, although he integrated traditional African instruments as well. His style was groundbreaking, merging Cameroonian makossa with classical guitar, jazz, and pop, in a mix that could be intellectual, humorous, or serious. He sang in Duala, English, and French. Bebey had a strong impact on later performers. For example, he gave Manu Dibango his big break when Dibango came to work for him in Paris. Bebey released more than 20 albums over his career. He died in 2001.

la histoire coloniale, imperialiste ce repete trop longtemps...
Elke Zwinge-Makamizile
Autrefois j'ai écouté cette chanson profonde avec cette tristesse de partir à la guerre. Demain, le 8.5. est le jour de la liberation du Hitler-fachisme (par l'armée rouge!). Combien des morts et blessés pour le mal du monde, pour l'interet des blanc de pouvoir avec leur esprit colonial.
Mais il faut savoir, qu'ily avait aussi une resistance, des partisans entre les blancs et les noirs. Frantz Fanon a combattu contre le fascime ensemble avec autres internationalistes.
Francis Bebey peux laisser sonner la tristesse, mais toujours sonne fort l'espoir.
C'était par hasard, que j'ai écouté cette chanson aujourdhui, mais peut-etre ce n'était PAS par hasard... cette chanson m'a touché autrefois, la voix de Francis Bebey comme il vivait.

Cette chanson parle des soldats camerounais, qui les Francais ont envoyé dans la guerre mondial pour combattre pour eux en première ligne et pour mourir plus facilement. Aprés la guerre ils n'etaient pas meme payés comme les francais francais. Inhumanité de la guerre en plus.
