Passionate about tennis and skiing, he must quit sport after chronic polyarthritis, which immobilizes him at the age of 16.1.2. It is then that he discovers the music of Stevie Wonder2, which makes him want to learn the harmonica1,2. He also discovers that of Bob Marley, who will later address a song, My Spiritual Father. It was at this time that he learned to play the guitar.

Il est où le bonheur, il est où ? | Where is happiness? Where is it? |
Il est où ? | Where is it? |
Il est où le bonheur, il est où ? | Where is happiness? Where is it? |
Il est où ? | Where is it? |
J’ai fait l’amour, j’ai fait la manche | I made love, I begged |
J’attendais d’être heureux | I waited to be happy |
J’ai fait des chansons, j’ai fait des enfants | I made songs, I made children |
J’ai fait au mieux | I did the best I could |
J’ai fait la gueule, j’ai fait semblant | I was in a bad mood, I pretended |
On fait comme on peut | We do as we can |
J’ai fait le con, c’est vrai ; j’ai fait la fête, ouais ! | I screwed around, it’s true, I partied yeah |
Je croyais être heureux | I believed to be happy |
Mais, y a tous ces soirs sans potes | Yet there are all these evenings without friends |
Quand personne sonne et ne vient | When nobody can be heard and nobody comes |
Ces dimanches soir, dans la flotte | These Sunday evenings, in the rain |
Comme un con dans son bain | Like an idiot in his bath |
Essayant de le noyer, mais il flotte | Trying to drown but he floats |
Ce putain de chagrin | This horrible grief |
Alors, je me chante mes plus belles notes | Then, I sing my most beautiful songs |
Et ça ira mieux demain | It will be better tomorrow |
Il est là le bonheur, il est là ! | The happiness is there, it is there, |
Il est là ! | it is there! |
Il est là le bonheur, il est là ! | The happiness is there, it is there, |
Il est là ! | it is there! |
J’ai fait la cour, j’ai fait mon cirque | I courted, I played dumb |
J’attendais d’être heureux | I waited to be happy |
J’ai fait le clown, c’est vrai et j’ai rien fait | I clowned around, it’s true, I did nothing |
Mais ça ne va pas mieux | But it doesn’t get better |
J’ai fait du bien, j’ai fait des fautes | I did well, I made mistakes |
On fait comme on peut | We do as we can |
J’ai fait des folies, j’ai pris des fous rires, ouais | I was extravagant, I took giggles, yeah |
Je croyais être heureux | I believed to be happy |
Mais, y a tous ces soirs de Noël, où l’on sourit poliment | but, there are all these Christmas evenings where we smile politely |
Pour protéger de la vie cruelle | To protect from the cruelty of life |
Tous ces rires d’enfants | the children’s laughter |
Et ces chaises vides qui nous rappellent | And these empty seats that remind us |
Ce que la vie nous prend | what life takes from us |
Alors, je me chante mes notes les plus belles | then, I sing my most beautiful songs, |
C’était mieux avant | it was better before |
C’est une bougie, le bonheur | Happiness is a candle |
Ris pas trop fort d’ailleurs | Laugh too hard |
Tu risques de l’éteindre | and you risk putting it out |
On l’veut le bonheur, on l’veut, ouais ! | We want happiness, yes, we want it |
Tout le monde veut l’atteindre | Everybody wants to reach it |
Mais il fait pas de bruit, le bonheur, non, | But the happiness doesn’t make noise, no |
il fait pas de bruit | But it doesn’t make noise |
C’est con le bonheur, ouais, | It is stupid, the happiness, yeah |
car c’est souvent après qu’on sait qu’il était là | ‘Cause it’s often only afterwards that we know it was there |
Mais, il est où le bonheur ? | Where is happiness? Where is it? |
Il est où le bonheur ? | Where is happiness? Where is it? |
Il est où ? | Where is it? |
Mais, il est où le bonheur ? | Where is happiness? Where is it? |
Mais il est là ! | Mmmmmmm, it is here, |
Le bonheur, il est là, il est là | the happiness, it is here, |
Et il est là ! | it is here! |
Le bonheur, il est là, il est là | the happiness, it is here, |
Il est là ! | it is here! |
