From the encounter with the Kassav musicians, the group Kou Doubl will be born, which marks the real debut of this artist's career. After two albums and the success of “JUMP UP” and “ENSEMBLE OU NON“ in 1993, THIERRY CHAM releases his first album the following year : “ULTIME CONFESSION”. The title “COUP DE FOUDRE” then meets with enormous success and is placed number one in all the hit parades of the Afro-Caribbean network. Always under the inspiration of romanticism and sensuality, the album “NUIT BLANCHE” comes into being in 1995 and confirms the growing potential and popularity of this young artist. In 1996 he offers us an album regrouping the best of his recordings with a novel version of the title “Invitation” and a summer tour with RMC. In 1997 his third solo album “Naturel” is released. It has an enormous success with the titles Ciel and Baby. In 1998 THIERRY CHAM sets the waves on fire with his three title CD : “ENFLAME W” “TE SEDUIRE” and “IVRESSE”. The video made on ENFLAME W is highly conspicuous due to the sensuality that it released. For the year 2000 THIERRY CHAM offers us his new album “SIMPLEMENT”. Rich in original tones, this album is very quickly adopted by local radios as well as the growing public. The three titles coming out of this opus quickly became successes throughout the Afro-Caribbean network and the Indian Ocean. These titles are 7e Ciel “SIMPLEMENT” (among other songs dedicated to his late artist friend Gilles FLORO) and the song OCEAN which is the hit song in this album. On 2 December 2000 Thierry CHAM appears on a national channel in a variety broadcasting programme HIT MACHINE by M6. On that same date, he gives a single concert in Paris in the capital’s prestigious CIGALE hall where a great number of national and international artists have performed. Success is guaranteed for this young artist who will further surprise us. Last album "Là d'où je viens", 2008

Simplement
Thierry Cham Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kon zétwal en ciel la
Ou toujou ké kléré pou nou
Kontinié chanté ban nou
Joué mizik angélik

Basculé dans l'au-delà
Nou tout savé ké ou la
Menm si sa dificil a kwé dé fwa

Fo nou vive épi la joi dan tou sa

refrain
Simplement envolé
Juste volatilisé
Vers un monde qui nous est étranger
Mais tu nous as laissés
De quoi nous faire danser
Danser danser danser
Danser sans s'arrêter

A Gilles Flo kon brise ven
Vwa aw ka poté frisson toujou
Pa janmin léssé indiféren
Lè pli piti é lè pli gran

Basculé dans l'au-delà
Nou tou savé ké ou la

menm si sa dificil a kwè dè fwa
Fo nou vive épi la joi dan tou sa

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Thierry Cham’s song Simplement speak about the singer's departed loved ones who have transitioned into an unknown world. The song expresses feelings of loss, grief, and acceptance, as well as hope and joy. The first verse talks about a star in the sky that continues to shine for us, calling on the departed spirits to keep singing and playing their angelic music. The second verse refers to Gilles Flo, who must have been a loved one who has passed away, and speaks about the impact the person had on the singer's life. The chorus uses the metaphor of flying away to describe the loved ones' departure, but also reassures us that while they may have left this world, they have left behind memories that will make us dance and celebrate life without ever stopping.

Overall, the lyrics of Simplement suggest that while loss is a painful part of life, it is also an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the moments we have shared with our loved ones, and to carry their memory with us as we continue to embrace life.
