Jacno is also the name of a graphic artist who designed the gallic helmet logo of Gauloises brand cigarettes, which the musician smokes infamously. He was a founding member of the first French punk band The Stinky Toys. In the early 1980's, after the group disbanded, he teamed up with former Stinky Toys singer Elli Medeiros to form the pop duo Elli et Jacno. Jacno has also released a number of solo albums since 1979.

Je viens d'ailleurs
Jacno Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je viens d'ailleurs, je n'ai qu'une envie, c'est de repartir sans mot dire
Je ne voulais de mal а personne, la dйception fut forte
Hystйrie-mйchancetй collective, oon voulait m'apprendre а mordre
Je viens d'ailleurs, je n'ai qu'une envie, c'est de repartir sans mot dire
Mal poli-connerie collective, curieuse faзon de parler
The lyrics of Jacno's song "Je viens d'ailleurs" describe the singer's longing to leave a place where everything was once beautiful and comforting. The first verse portrays a picturesque scene - everything was beautiful and serene with red moon, sparkling streams, and stunning stones creating a perfect ambiance. However, the singer "comes from elsewhere," indicating that this place is not his home, and he has an irresistible desire to leave, not even uttering a single word.
The second verse suggests the reason for the singer's urge to leave. He never wanted to harm anyone, but the disappointment was immensely strong. The collective hysteria and malice soon directed towards him, forcing him to bear witness to an ugly side of humanity. The line "Oon voulait m'apprendre а mordre" translates to "They wanted to teach me to bite," indicating a sense of hostility towards the singer, causing him to feel alienated and unwelcome.
The final verse talks about the collective rudeness and arrogance, showcasing how these people like to behave because that's their way of living. The term "Mal poli-connerie collective" translates to collective foolishness of rudeness. The singer once found comfort in this place, but once confronted with the negative behaviors of the people, he no longer wants to remain there. He feels out of place and disconnected, wanting to start afresh somewhere else.

Tu me manques tellement Denis (Jacno). Je suis orphelin maintenant que Daniel (Darc-Rozoum) et toi vous m'avez abandonné ! J'espère bien que vous vous êtes retrouvés la haut tout les deux ? C'est difficile la vie sans vous ...
