一首很有名的 60s 法國流行歌曲 ：Aline - Christophe

Christophe is a French singer and songwriter. He was born Daniel Bevilacqua on October 13, 1945 in the Parisian suburb Juvisy-sur-Orge, to Italian parents

J'avais dessine sur le sable
son doux visage
qui me souriait
puis il a plu sur cette plage
dans cet orage elle a disparu

Et j'ai crié, crié, Aline! Faut quelle revienne
et j'ai pleuré, pleuré, Oh j'avais trop de peine

Je me suis assis auprès de son âme
mais la belle dame cètait enfuie
je lai cherchée sans plus y croire
et sans un espoir pour me guider

Et j'ai crié, crié, Aline! Pour quelle revienne
et j'ai pleuré, pleuré, Oh j'avais trop de peine

Je nai gardé que ce doux visage
comme une épave sur le sable mouillé

Et jai crié, crié, Aline! Faut quelle revienne
Et jai pleuré, pleuré, Oh j'avais trop de peine
Et jai crié, crié, Aline! Faut quelle revienne
Et jai pleuré, pleuré, Oh j'avais trop de peine
Et jai crié, crié, Aline! Faut quelle revienne
Et jai pleuré, pleuré, Oh j'avais trop de peine


Best known for his 1965 hit single "Aline," Christophe is a French singer/songwriter whose recording career spans several decades. His career underwent ups and downs over the years, and his style changed from decade to decade. After falling out of favor in the late '60s once the success of "Aline" had receded, Christophe made a comeback in the 1970s on the label Motors. Then after falling out of favor once again in the '80s, he made another comeback the following decade with Bevilacqua (1996), and his recording career carried on well into the next century. Born Daniel Bevilacqua on October 13, 1945, in Juvisy-sur-Orge, a suburb of Paris, he was interested in music at a young age. His influences include chanson (Edith Piaf, Gilbert Bécaud), blues (Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker), and rock & roll (Little Richard, Elvis Presley). In 1963, before billing himself as Christophe, he made his recording debut as Daniel Bevilacqua with the four-track EP Reviens Sophie on the label Golf Drouot. After nothing came of that release, the young singer changed his billing to simply Christophe and scored the career-defining hit single "Aline" in 1965. The anthem of the summer, "Aline" was succeeded by a series of follow-up singles, including "Les Marionnettes" (1965), "J'ai Entendu la Mer" (1966) and "Excusez-Moi Monsieur le Professeur" (1966). By the end of the 1960s, however, Christophe had more or less disappeared from the French hit parade. In 1973 he mounted a comeback, changing his style and releasing Les Paradis Perdus, his first of several albums for Motors over the next ten years. Subsequent albums on Motors include Les Mots Bleus (1974), Live à l'Olympia (1975), Samouraï (1976), La Dolce Vita (1977), Le Beau Bizarre (1978), Pas Vu, Pas Pris (1980), and Clichés d'Amour (1983). In addition, "Aline" was revived as a hit single in 1979 after a reissue on Motors. By the end of the '80s, however, Christophe had once again disappeared from the French hit parade. For roughly ten years he released no music at all. Yet in 1996 he mounted another comeback, changing his style once again and releasing Bevilacqua (1996), an experimental, electronic-tinged album on which he wrote all of the songs himself, many of them personal. Subsequent albums include Comm' Si la Terre Penchait (2001), Olympia 2002 (2002), and Aimer Ce Que Nous Sommes (2008). Produced by Christophe Van Huffel from the group Tanger, Aimer Ce Que Nous Sommes was a Top Five hit on the French albums chart.

Christophe's first hit was Aline, in 1965. He is famous for his eternal song "Oh!... Mon Amour" that he sang in French and Italian.

From a young age, he was fascinated by the "American way of life".

Christophe vanished from the French music scene towards the end of the 1960s. In 1971, he married his girlfriend Véronique and fathered his daughter Lucie. In 1971, Françis Dreyfus launched the Motors label ( Disques Motors) and became the producer of Christophe records. He came back in 1973 with "Les Paradis perdus" ("Lost Paradises"). In 1975, he recorded "Les Mots bleus" ("The Blue Words"), that was covered by Thierry Amiel in 2003. The lyrics of this song were written by Jean Michel Jarre.

In 1978, he came back with "Le Beau Bizarre" ("The Beautiful Freak"). In 1983, Christophe released yet another hit single "Succès fou" (Crazy Success) selling over 60,000 records. In 1984, Christophe released "Clichés d'amour" in which he sang memorable 40's and 50's classics such as "Arrivederci Roma" and "Dernier baiser" a French version of the Mexican classic "Besame mucho" written by Consuelito Velazquez. In 1985, he wrote "Ne raccroche pas" ("Don't Hang Up!") a song which he hinted at Princess Stephanie of Monaco. The following year, he wrote the song "Boule de flipper" for Corynne Charby.

In 1988, he released "Chiqué chiqué". In 1996, he had a major comeback with his album "Bevilacqua". In 2001, he released another hot album "Comme si la terre penchait" (As if the earth was Leaning). In February 2002, Christophe performed, in Clermont Ferrand, his first live concert in 27 years, followed by two appearances at the Olympia in March 2002.

In the 1970s, Christophe was plagued with alcoholism and drug abuse that took a toll on his life suffering from a nervous breakdown and depression, following his breakup with his girlfriend Aline, the inspiration for his hit song.

He is married to Veronique.
