Bye bye baby

Her name is Sylvie Vartan
And he's Johnny Hallyday

Bye bye baby
Bye bye honey
I give up, I forgive
But I'm running away

I'm leaving without a trace
Whoever wants to will take my place

This song was conceived, written, recorded especially for you
I'd be surprised if you'd ever hear it anywhere else
I know many of you know us
I think you don't know us well
So, let's start by trying to get to know each other a little better
For example, Sylvie will talk to you about fashion, I'll talk to you about motorcycles
We'll talk a little about our lives

Sylvie and Fashion

Well, for me this summer, fashion will be pants, in this case blue jeans
Because they're the ideal outfit for traveling, for working, for getting around, for being comfortable
And also a long Liberty print skirt
That is to say, it's an English fabric with little flowers and it's very pretty

Johnny and the motorcycle, always the motorcycle, nothing but the motorcycle

Several people I met in the street asked me
If I was doing my summer tour on a motorcycle like last year
Well, I don't think so because last year it was in a circus
We never did more than 80 kilometers a day
Whereas this year, since it's exclusively galas and we'll be
On average, doing between 200 and 600 kilometers, it's a bit tiring
And a bit long to do it on a motorcycle, especially when we sing in the evening

Why I like motorcycles I've also been asked this often
Because I consider a car to be an object of transportation
An object of work whereas a motorcycle is more of a machine
An object of pleasure, of vacation, let's say
I like fairly powerful motorcycles, I have a 750 Honda that I had Japoto
Convert into a 950 because I like fairly advanced, fairly powerful machines
Maybe that comes from the fact that my first motorcycle was a
1200cc Harley-Davidson, and when I have a lighter motorcycle, let's say
It seems a little fragile to me
And since I'm quite tall, I personally feel more comfortable
On a big-displacement motorcycle

I have a motorcycle too, I have a Kawasaki 250
No, Honda
No, that's true, I have a Kawasaki 250
But not yet
But, the day after tomorrow
What I like about motorcycles
I'm going to get a Kawasaki 900, by the way
Yes, but you're taller, obviously It's normal
I'd fall with it

No, but what I like about motorcycles is that, as Johnny said
It's an object that makes you think of vacation, because when you're on a motorcycle
You're part of and at one with nature That is to say, you're part of nature
Of the environment When you're in a car, you're, you're in your car
So when you're on a motorcycle, you're like on a horse It's pleasant
You're in the open air

Bye bye baby
Bye bye honey
I'm flying away, I'm taking off
From your life

It's a record, anyway, of a fairly short length
We don't have much time to chat with you for too long
But, I think that in any case, as far as this summer is concerned, we'll have the opportunity to see you
Well, at least those who want to come see us
In the meantime, perhaps, so that we can get to know each other a little better, because today
You heard us, but ultimately, we're speaking into a microphone
And you're listening to us, perhaps you could write to the newspaper
To say if you were happy, if you liked the song we've reserved for you, and
In any case, if you'd like to hear it performed for you this summer, on tour, Sylvie and I
So we're waiting for your letter and I hope you were happy
With this recording and that it gave you pleasure
See you soon
See you soon, goodbye
