Lyrics: [F.RIEBL]
J’avais, j’avais, j’avais toujours
De l’amour pour toi, de l’amour pour toi
J’avais, j’avais, j’avais toujours
De l’amour pour toi, de l’amour pour toi

Don’t talk to me of sorrow
Don’t talk to me of shame
Or call it by another name
Nothing but the sun
Can black out what’s been done
Torn away when the evening comes
Torn away when it comes

Bataclan va lutter
Bataclan va lutter, and tomorrow
And every night we scream this song
Bataclan va lutter

Don’t talk to me of horror
Don’t talk to me of rage
Or call it by another name
And isn’t there a song
That’s deeper than us all?
Torn away when the evening comes
Torn away when it comes

Bataclan va lutter
Bataclan va lutter, and tomorrow
And every night we scream this song
Bataclan va lutter

So let the place roar viva
And let the place roar viva
And let the bass fall viva
And let the place roar viva

In our nights of exile
And in the falling rain
We can never be the same
Tonight we’ll beat the drums
Louder than our pain
And call their names when the evening comes
And call their names when it comes

Bataclan va lutter
Bataclan va lutter, and tomorrow
And every night we scream this song
Bataclan va lutter

So let the place roar viva
So let the place roar viva
And let the bass fall viva
And let the place roar viva

Bataclan va lutter
Bataclan va lutter, and tomorrow
And every night we scream this song

About:
Formed in Melbourne, Australia and adored the world over, The Cat Empire is a musical success story that continues to be written. The trajectory the six-piece have sustained for their 20-year career has been lead by a shared passion for bringing joy through their infectious, genre-embracing anthems and making global audiences dance.

The band started from humble beginnings, making music and playing sweaty clubs around Melbourne. Their fans would introduce friends to what they were dancing to, and the ground-swell began. The Cat Empire have gone on to release seven studio albums with global chart success.

The Cat Empire's hard work and connection to their worldwide audience have made them a significant Australian global music export for two decades. They are in high demand from Promoters the world over for headline festival slots year on year from Glastonbury and WOMAD to Bonnaroo and Bluesfest due to the unique brand of feel-good Australian music and their enduring ability to consistently deliver a world-class live show.

July 2021 sees the band return with new music recorded earlier this year at the studio of long time friend and Producer Jan Skubiszewski's Red Moon studio in regional Victoria and recordings by Diego Guerrero at Estudio La Burilla Madrid. The recordings feature the Empire Horns, Yuri Pavlinov on bass and writers, singers and Palmas from Barcelona and Madrid.

The Cat Empire:
Vocals: Felix Riebl
Vocals & Trumpet: Harry James Angus
Keys: Ollie McGill
Drums: Will Hull-Brown
DJ: Jamshid “Jumps” Khadiwala

Probablement un des plus sobres and beaux hommages, avec celui des Invalides, rendus aux victimes du 13 Novembre 2015. Probably one of the most sober and beautiful homage, with the Invalides homage, returned to the victims of November 13, 2015.
