1990 (MCMXC) was a common year that started on a Monday. In the Gregorian calendar, it was the 1990th year of Anno Domini; the 990th year of the 2nd millennium; the 90th year of the 20th century; and the 1st year of the 1990s. It is often considered the final year of the Cold War era.
Jean Leclerc (born May 14, 1961) is a Québécois singer-songwriter and author from Quebec, Canada. He is popularly known as Jean Leloup (which he likes to translate to John the Wolf in English), a stage name he kept using until 2006, when he temporarily changed his name to Jean Leclerc, only to resurrect his wolf character in August 2008. He is known for his colourful personality and unique musical style in the francophone rock community.
Born in Sainte-Foy, Quebec, Leclerc grew up in Togo and Algeria, where he was influenced by traditional African rhythms. He returned to Quebec in 1976, and appeared on the music scene in the 1980s, making waves with his provocative lyrics—in his song "1990", he compares the high-tech actions of Desert Storm to his sexual activities with his girlfriend.
His 1990 album L'amour est sans pitié was a hit outside of Quebec, and was released in the rest of Canada, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Japan.
He was the recipient of a Félix Award in 1997, following the success of his 1996 album Le Dôme.
I didn't know you, but I wish I did
These are the moments you're lost inside our heads
And as we hold on, hold onto these days
We try to fall asleep in the beds we've made
So if you're listening, will you still be there with no
song left to sing
And just so you know, just so know
If you ever doubted, your presence
Or how in this world you fit
Remember without you, this song wouldn't exist
And now because of you
Ill never hesitate, Ill take my life on head first
Never looking back again
And when I think about
All of the things that ive missed
I'll never live that way
We'll try to hold on, onto these days
We'll tighten up this grip won't let it slip away
I know you're listening, you will still be here with no
song left to sing
And just so you know, just so know
If you ever doubted, your presence
Or how in this world you fit
Remember without you, this song wouldn't exist
And now because of you
Ill never hesitate, Ill take my life on head first
Never looking back again
Take this hate out of heart
And fill my lungs with your love
I've grown stronger, stronger now
And when fall leaves, They turn to color
We'll wait for an Indian summer
In hopes of hearing your whispers
I never thought we could be heroes here
But always knew we shouldn’t be so much more
If we ever have to defend ourselves
I’ll guide you into the castle
Even if we call it a day from here
I bet that we’ll be chasing the same dream over
Never knew we could be up also
I’ll guide you into the castle
I Never thought that we could achieve so much
But always knew it shouldn’t be more too right
I never thought that we could turn into business
Always thought it couldn’t be more to work
Imagine all the places where we have been
Or picture every city that we have seen
Never thought we would survive so much
And every cat for the death of mine
I Never thought that we could achieve so much
But always knew it shouldn’t be more too right
I never thought that we could turn into business
Always thought it couldn’t be more to work
I Never thought that we could achieve so much
But always knew it shouldn’t be more too right
I never thought that we could turn into business
Y cada vez que vuelvo
tus ecos están
y querría despertarme
y al fin con vos volver a jugar.
Cae el sol y aun sigo soñando
sale el sol y no te puedo encontrar.
Y cada vez que vuelvo aquí
siento que vos
me arrojaste a la inercia
sin novedad, sin decepción.
Cae el sol... etc.
Y cada vez que vuelvo
un mismo final
afuera el mundo sigue
soy uno más buscando en el mar
Cae el sol... etc.
Un extraño destino, una oscura verdad
tan sólo tropiezos, amar o callar
anduve caminando por calles al azar
por calles vacías
Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires,
humedad...
As I start to pen my thoughts
A rush goes through my head
Memories of 1990
Slowly passing by
I can still feel the pain
Like a sword pierced my heart
Selfishness, robbing me of you
I would always talk to you
But now not for days
I was slowly leaving you behind
Caught up her in what was going on
(It seemed so important then
But looking back now I see)
I didn't see what was ahead
Where did I go
What did I do
I let myself become king
I've seen where I've been
I know what I've done
It's time to let go and forget 1990
Again I'm here to pen my thoughts
Rushing wind blows through my head
Memories of 1990
I guess I'll always feel the pain
Feel the pain pierce my heart
Selfishness robbing me of you
Where did I go
What did I do
I let myself become king
I've seen where I've been
I know what I know
Mesdames et messieurs attention
je vais vous faire une chanson
le sujet en est ambitieux
de mon image je suis soucieux
en 1990
c'est l'heure des communications
depuis le début de ce siècle
nous avons vu l'apparition
du moteur Ford à explosion
puis de l'avion à réaction
mais de toutes les inventions
c'est sans doute la bombe à neutrons
qui nous laissa le plus baba
au cours du célèbre hiroshima
mais 1990 devrait nous laisser tous pantois
devrait nous laisser tous gagas
il y a des missiles patriotes
dirigés par ordinateurs
sony fuji et macintosh
se culbutent dans les airs le rush
la guerre technologique fait rage
c'est un super méga carnage
attention voilà les avions
qui tirent
c'est l'heure de l'émission
en 1990
c'est l'heure de la médiatisation
en 1990
c'est l'ère de la conscientisation
fini les temps maudits du sport
du jogging et de la cigarette
la preuve en est nos beaux soldats
américains qui sont là-bas
bronzés à la vitamine d
nourris aux fibres équilibrées
les mort qui seront faits là-bas
seront en bonne santé je crois
les impôts du contribuable
n'ont pas été payés en vain
la preuve en est il est possible
de ne jamais rater sa cible
si on connaît le vidéo
si on se pratique le coco

en 1990 c'est l'ère de la socialisation
en 1990 c'est la démocratisation
j'en était à ces réflexions
quand tout à coup je me sens con
assis par terre dans le salon
je ne fous rien je suis un con
heureusement que ma copine
a soudain l'idée de génie
de me toucher le porte-avion
vite fait je lui sors mon canon
ça va chauffer oui mon amour
je pointe mon radar à ions
en plein dans ta sortie de secours
je vais larguer mes bombes attention
en 1990 j'ai mis ma participation
en 1990 j'étais dans la coalition
en 1990 (bis)
