Although Bruel aspired to be a football star as a youth, he decided to pursue singing after seeing Michel Sardou in 1975. His first success came as an actor, however, in 1979's Le Coup de sirocco. He continued acting in films, on television and in the theater while pursuing his singing career. His first single, "Vide" ("Empty"), released in 1982, was not a success, but the follow up, "Marre de cette nana-là" ("Fed up with that chick"), was a hit.
In 2003, he had his last name officially changed to Bruel-Benguigui, his stage name with his birthname, before his partner Amanda Maruani gave birth to his first child, Oscar, on August 19. On September 21, 2004, he wed the 24-year-old Maruani; it is his first marriage. His second child, Léon Bruel was born on the 28th September, 2005.
As of 2004 Bruel has acted in more than 40 different television and film productions and made five studio albums and several live albums. His last album to date is Entre Deux (2002), a double CD of classic chanson that features duets with Charles Aznavour, Jean-Louis Aubert, Jean-Jacques Goldman, Alain Souchon and Renaud, among others. It sold two million copies and made Bruel France's best paid singer of the year. At the beginning of 2005, in response to the South Asian tsunami of December 26, 2004, Bruel wrote the song "Et puis la terre" to benefit the Red Cross.
Comment ça va
Patrick Bruel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y' a une soirée chez Vincent.
J' t'attends là-bas.
A tout à l'heure.
Bisou Mickey...
Je m' dépeche, j' suis en r'tard.
Y' a d'jà plein, d' monde qu'attend sur l' trottoir.
Bref, tout l' monde va, quoi.
"C'est au troisième que ca s' passe.",
Me dit une jupe bleue qui passe.
J'avais ach'té un gâteau.
On m' l'a braqué dans l' métro, oh, oh.
"Comme c'est gentil d'etre venu",
Dit un type que j'ai jamais vu.
Oui mais moi j' suis v'nu pour toi
Et toi t'es toujours pas là.
"Vous devez sûrement etre scorpion.",
Dit la maîtresse de maison.
Tout l' monde est sapé pareil
Et j' suis d' moins en moins à l'aise.
Lola, pourquoi, pourquoi t'es pas là ?
Ça fait trois heures qu' j' suis là, planté.
C'est pas qu' j' m'ennuie, mais j' vais m' tirer.
Comment ca va, comment ca va
Comment ca va pour vous ?
Parce que pour moi, oh oui pour moi,
Ça va pas, mais pas, mais pas du tout.
J'attends Lola, j'attends Lola,
J'attends Lola qui vient pas.
Comment ca va ? Me d'mande pas ca :
Tu vois bien qu' ca va.
La boîte est pleine à craquer.
On s' marche meme plus sur les pieds.
Salut, ca va ? Toi, ca va ? Moi ca...
Ici aussi, tout l' monde va, quoi.
On fait semblant d' s'amuser,
On fait semblant d' se parler.
Chacun s' donne une apparence
Et toi tu tournes dans la danse.
Lola ! Ah pardon, excusez-moi.
J'ai vraiment cru qu' c'était Lola.
Je m' suis trompé, encore une fois.
Comment ca va, comment ca va
Comment ca va pour vous ?
Parce que pour moi, oh oui pour moi,
Ça va pas, mais pas, mais pas du tout.
Je cherche Lola, je cherche Lola,
Je cherche Lola qui vient pas.
Mais comment ca va ? Me d'mande pas ca
Tu vois bien...
Comment ca va, comment ca va,
Comment ca va pour toi ?
Comment ca va, comment ca va
Comment ca va pour toi ?
J'attends Lola, j'attends Lola,
J'attends Lola qui vient pas.
Comment ca va, comment ca va ?
Bon, arretez : ca va.
Comment ca va, comment ca va,
Comment ca va pour vous ?
Parce que pour moi, oh oui pour moi,
Ça va pas, mais pas, mais pas du tout.
Je cherche Lola, je cherche Lola,
Je cherche Lola qui vient pas.
Mais comment ca va ? Me d'mande pas ca.
Tu vois bien...
Comment ca va, comment ca va,
Comment ca va pour vous ?
Parce que pour moi, oh oui pour moi,
Ça va pas, mais pas, mais pas du tout.
Je cherche Lola, je cherche Lola,
Je cherche Lola qui vient pas.
Salut, c'est Lola.
Pourquoi tu m'appelles plus ?
Bon, à bientot.
Bisou Mickey...
The lyrics of Patrick Bruel's song Comment Ca Va speak of a story of a man named Mickey who is waiting for his friend, Lola, at Vincent's party. He arrives late and finds a group of people waiting outside for the party to start. After making his way up to the third floor, he discovers that Lola is nowhere to be found. The party-goers are all dressed similarly, and he becomes increasingly uncomfortable. He spends the night searching for Lola, but she never shows up. In the end, he receives a call from her, asking why he hasn't been calling her anymore.
The lyrics of the song shed light on the feeling of displacement and isolation that people can feel even in social situations. Despite being in a crowded place, the singer of the song is unable to find his friend and feels increasingly disconnected from those around him. The song captures the moment when the party starts to feel more like a place to escape for the individual than a place to connect with others.
Overall, the song highlights how the human experience in social situations can be fragile and emotional, and how we must constantly seek to find meaningful connections with others.
