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-lĂ " ("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, LĂ©on 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.
Premier rendez-vous
Patrick Bruel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Un beau jour de printemps
Fait d'une simple enfant
Presque une femme,
Dans le songe bleu
D'un avenir joyeux
Fermant les yeux
Elle soupire au fond de l'Ăąme
{Refrain:}
Ah ! qu'il doit ĂȘtre doux et troublant
L'instant du premier rendez-vous
OĂč le cĆur las de battre solitaire
S'envole en frissonnant vers le mystĂšre.
Vous l'inconnu d'un rĂȘve un peu fou,
Faites qu'il apporte pour nous
Le bonheur d'aimer la vie entiĂšre
L'instant du premier rendez-vous.
Un amour naissant
C'est un premier roman
Dont on joue tendrement.
Le personnage
On ne sait jamais
S'il sera triste ou gai,
Mais on voudrait
Vite en ouvrir toutes les pages.
{Refrain}

It is a chance to escape from the loneliness of being alone, to discover someone new and mysterious, and to possibly fall in love with them for the rest of your life.
