La discothèque's song "Born to Be Alive" is a catchy, disco anthem that celebrates the joy of living. The song's lyrics repeatedly emphasize that we were "born to be alive" and that it is good to be alive. The singer explains that they have never wanted the things that others find essential for their lives, such as a settled place to call home. Instead, the singer is content with their suitcase and an old guitar, always on the move and seeking out new experiences.
What makes this song so memorable is its infectious beat and the repetition of the lyrics. The message is clear: life is a gift, and we should enjoy it to the fullest. The song speaks to us on an emotional level, reminding us to appreciate every moment and to revel in our existence.
Interestingly, "Born to Be Alive" was released in 1979 and became an immediate hit in France. From there, it quickly spread across Europe, topping the charts in several countries, including Belgium, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. It also became a popular dance song in American clubs, despite being entirely in French.

Chanson référence de mon enfance pour les réveillons 🎉 .
Mon histoire :
Mon chien est mort il y a peu, et juste après son décès j’entends cette chanson.. je me dis que c’est un signe ^^ surtout quand on voit la traduction des paroles 😂 Ca parle de courir dans la rue, que le temps jouait en sa faveur (il était avec moi depuis trois ans même si j’ai grandi avec lui chez ma grand-mère, mais mon dieu qu’il était ´vivant’ avec moi 🥰), de guitare et de vieille valise… je vous jure que j’ai une vieille photo d’un chien que ma mère avait lorsqu’elle était jeune qui était le portrait craché du miens et qui se trouve devant une vieille guitare et une valise 😭 - (j’ai perdu ma mère lorsque j’avais 1an et demi, elle en avait bientôt 24). Rien ne me prédestinait à avoir un chien noir identique à celui que ma mère avait eu (ma grand-mère s’en étonne encore, elle qui a connu les deux chiens) et qui m’aime plus que sa vraie maîtresse 😂 sauf peut être un cadeau du ciel ? 🤔D’autant que la mère de mon chien était toute blanche et nous n’avons jamais vu le chien avec qui elle s’était accouplée ! (Notre chienne etait partie en camping UN week end dans sa vie avec un ami de ma grand mère qui ne l’a pas surveillée, elle est revenue en clok et a accouché d’un seul petit chiot tout noir qui, donc, fut le sosie du chien de ma mère à son âge..)
Bref donc quand il est parti et que j’ai entendu cette chanson j’ai aussi tout de suite penser à ma mère et j’imaginais mon chien avec elle en train de gambader dans les nuages 😂😅
Cette chanson représente tout ça pour moi 😅Elle evite de deprimer ! Et j’y crois pas d’avoir autant raconté ma vie mais obligé de raconter cette folle histoire.. Je suis certaine qu’on nous envoie des signes.. il faut juste savoir les reconnaître 🥲🫣
(Les autres me prendront pour une demeurée 🤷🏽♀️)
Born to be alive ! 🎾🐕🦺🫶🏽

We were born to be alive
Born, born to be alive

You see, you were born
Born, born

People ask me why
I never find a place to stop
And settle down, down, down
But I never wanted all those things
People need to justify
Their lives, lives, lives
You see, you were born
Born, born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see, you were born
Born, born (born to be alive)
It's good to be alive
To be alive
To be alive
It's good to be alive
To be alive
To be alive
It's good to be alive
Time was on my side
When I was running down the street
It was so fine, fine, fine
A suitcase and an old guitar
And something new to occupy
My mind, mind, mind
You see, you were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see, you were born, born, born (born to be alive)
You see, you were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see, you were born, born, born (born to be alive)
You see you were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see, you were born, born, born
