Valentine Day
Michel Sardou Lyrics
Du labrador jusqu'aux Florides
En suivant le méchachébé
Les hommes attendaient Valentine
Un numéro sur un ticket.
De Fort Duquesne à la Balise
De la Balise à Fort Huilier
Les hommes avaient mis la chemise
Et ils attendaient sur le quai.
Ces prostituées ces orphelines
Toutes celles que Paris envoyait
C'était un prénom qu'ils aimaient.
Valentine Day
Valentine Day
Valentine Day
Valentine Day
Elles arrivaient en février
Seul'ment si le vent le voulait
A peine à terre sitôt mariées
C'était Valentine Day
Elles débarquaient avant l'été
De partout comme si'l en pleuvait
Le choix n'était pas la beauté
C'était Valentine Day
Seulement les marins s'en souviennent
Peut-etre parce que les marins
Ont de l'eau salée dans les veines
On sait que la mer se souvient.
Quand les vaisseaux de la royale
Hissaient en haut le pavillon
De Fort Prudhomme à Lauderdale
C'était la folie des violons
La journée de Valentine Day
Etait une foire aux catins
Aujourd'hui traduite en francais
On l'appelle La saint Valentin.
Valentine Day
Valentine Day
Valentine Day
Valentine Day
Elles embarquaient à la Rochelle
Emportant tout ce qu'elles avaient
La robe qu'elles portaient sur elles
C'était Valentine Day
Elles arrivaient pour épouser
Des hommes qu'elles n'aimeraient jamais
Elles n'avaient pas le choix d'aimer
C'était Valentine Day
Elles descendaient de la passerelle
Alors tout le monde se taisait
Et quand elles ouvraient leurs ombrelles
Les hommes applaudissaient
C'était l'amour et pas l'amour
C'était un peu tout c'qu'on voulait
Vive le roi et à bas la cour
C'était Valentine Day.
Valentine Day.

Michel Sardou (born January 26, 1947) is a French singer.
He was born in Paris, the son of Fernand Sardou and Jackie Rollin (Jackie Sardou). Contrary to what has been written at the beginning of his career, he is not the grandson of the dramatist Victorien Sardou.
He is known for songs dealing with various social and political issues, such as the rights of women in Islamic countries, clerical celibacy and colonialism.

He is known for songs dealing with various social and political issues, such as the rights of women in Islamic countries, clerical celibacy and colonialism. Another sometimes controversial theme found in some of his songs ("Les Ricains," for example) is respect and support for the culture and foreign policies of the United States. Another notable fact about his career is that he has focused his full attention on his homeland, ignoring the prospect of an international audience, although his 1981 single "Les lacs du Connemara" did manage to become a big international hit. A number of his hit songs were written in collaboration with Jacques Revaux, a few others (most notably "En chantant") with Italian singer Toto Cutugno.
Even in the 21st century, Michel Sardou remains immensely popular in France, selling out 18 consecutive dates at Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in 2001, while his 2004 album "Du plaisir" went straight to the no. 1 spot on the French album charts.
He has been married three times, first to a French dancer, then to Babette (the mother of his children) and lastly to an lifelong friend who edits the French version of Vogue.
