--------------

1) Gage got his start in the music business while still attending high school by landing the role of Johny Roquefort after attending an audition for the rock opera Starmania. Thus began his career as a musician heavily influenced by Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and Lauryn Hill; influences partly explained by Gage's Jamaican and Haitian roots.

The pivotal moment in Gage's career came when he met Corneille and Gardy Martin with whom he started the group R'n'B O.N.E. Thanks to Corneille's writing and composing talents, O.N.E.'s single "Zoukin" reached number one on the Canadian radio airplay chart. The group then went on tour, opening for acts such as Isabelle Boulay and Kelis

In January 2001, three years after the formation of O.N.E, Corneille left the group to pursue a solo career. Gage followed the same path, at first concentrating on acting and theatre before returning to music.

Corneille and Gage maintained a working relationship, with Gage opening for Corneille during Corneille's 2003 tour. Gage began to have success on his own thanks to his single "Trop Fresh", which attracted a significant fan base.

Gage's first album Soul Rebel, of which most of the songs were written, composed, and produced by Corneille, came out in July 2005. The album contains a mix of soul and reggae music. Gage's second album: Changer le monde, was released in 2008

Te Quiero
Gage Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sur un son reggae
Je l'avais rencontrée
Plus chaude qu'une nuit d'été
Elle m'a parlé de sa vie
Comme si elle m'avait compris
Connaissant mon soeur en état de crise
Elle c'est offerte a moi
Coupable d'être la

Ne sachant pas comment lui résister
Elle a tout por me plaire
Puis-je vraiment l'éviter
Victime de mon destin
Je me dois de lui dire

Te quiero
Je te dit mama
Te quiero
Ne t'enfuie pas
Te quiero
Je pars au revoir
Te quiero
Ne m'en veut pas

En deux jours j'ai tout fait pour l'oublier
Assis sous un palmier
Sable blanc dans mes pensées
Des images de nous entrelacés
Dansant d'un pas léger
Je devais la retrouvé
J'ai courru ausi vite que l'éclai
Offrir
Des fleurs, des mots des plus sincères
Lui jurer amour
De sourire
Elle a répliqué
..............
Tu m'a laissé alors je te dis tant pis
Ahora es muy tarde
Y a solo tu ....

Refrain x2

(Merci à kLy pour cettes paroles)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gage's song Te quiero tells the story of the singer meeting a woman on a summer night. She opened up to him about her life as if she understood him, and despite her knowing that he had a sister in crisis, she offered herself to him. The singer is unable to resist her charms, feeling like a victim of his own destiny. He tells her "Te quiero" which means "I love you" in Spanish, and pleads for her not to leave him. Later, he tries to forget about her but is unable to do so. He visualizes the moments they spent together and desperately tries to find her to offer her flowers, sincere words, and swear his love. However, when he finally finds her, it is too late, and she tells him "tant pis" which means "too bad" in French, implying she has moved on and he has missed his chance.

The song is a mix of reggae, French, Spanish, and English languages. It portrays a story of love, temptation, regret, and missed opportunities. The singer's poetic writing style and use of different languages add depth and emotion to the lyrics.
