Paris (UK: /ˈpærɪs/ PARR-iss; US: i/ˈpɛərɪs/ PAIR-iss; French: [paʁi]) is the capital and most populous city of France. Situated on the Seine River, in the north of the country, it is in the centre of the Île-de-France region, also known as the région parisienne, "Paris Region". The City of Paris has an area of 105 km² (41 mi²) and a population of 2,241,346 (2014 estimate) within its administrative borders essentially unchanged since 1860.
Since the 19th century, the built-up area of Paris has grown far beyond its administrative borders; together with its suburbs, the whole agglomeration has a population of 10,550,350 (Jan. 2012 census).Paris' metropolitan area spans most of the Paris region and has a population of 12,341,418 (Jan. 2012 census), or one-fifth of the population of France. The administrative region covers 12,012 km² (4,638 mi²), with approximately 12 million inhabitants as of 2014, and has its own regional council and president.
Paris was founded in the 3rd century BC by a Celtic people called the Parisii, who gave the city its name. By the 12th century, Paris was the largest city in the western world, a prosperous trading centre, and the home of the University of Paris, one of the first in Europe. In the 18th century, it was the centre stage for the French Revolution, and became an important centre of finance, commerce, fashion, science, and the arts, a position it still retains today.
Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as "the King of Rock and Roll", or simply, "the King".
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, as a twinless twin, and when he was 13 years old, he and his family relocated to Memphis, Tennessee. His music career began there in 1954, when he recorded a song with producer Sam Phillips at Sun Records. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was an early popularizer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who managed the singer for more than two decades. Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number-one hit in the United States. He was regarded as the leading figure of rock and roll after a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines that coincided with the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement, made him enormously popular—and controversial.

a paris
Quand un amour fleurit
Ça fait pendant des semaines
Deux curs qui se sourient
Tout ça parce qu'ils s'aiment
a paris
Au printemps
Sur les toits les girouettes
Tournent et font les coquettes
Avec le premier vent
Qui passe indifférent
Nonchalant
Car le vent
Quand il vient à Paris
N'a plus qu'un seul souci
C'est d'aller musarder
Dans tous les beaux quartiers
De Paris
Le soleil
Qui est son vieux copain
Est aussi de la fête
Et comme deux collégiens
Ils s'en vont en goguette
Dans Paris
Et la main dans la main
Ils vont sans se frapper
Regardant en chemin
Si Paris a changé
Y a toujours
Des taxis en maraude
Qui vous chargent en fraude
Avant le stationnement
Où y a encore l'agent
Des taxis
Au café
On voit n'importe qui
Qui boit n'importe quoi
Qui parle avec ses mains
Qu'est là depuis le matin
Au café
Y a la Seine
A n'importe quelle heure
Elle a ses visiteurs
Qui la regardent dans les yeux
Ce sont ses amoureux
A la Seine
Et y a ceux
Ceux qui ont fait leur nid
Près du lit de la Seine
Et qui se lavent à midi
Tous les jours de la semaine
Dans la Seine
Et les autres
Ceux qui en ont assez
Parce qu'ils en ont vu de trop
Et qui veulent oublier
Alors y se jettent à l'eau
Mais la Seine
Elle préfère
Voir les jolis bateaux
Se promener sur elle
Et au fil de son eau
Jouer aux caravelles
Sur la Seine
Les ennuis
Y'en a pas qu'à Paris
Y'en a dans le monde entier
Oui mais dans le monde entier
Y a pas partout Paris
V'là l'ennui
a paris
Au quatorze juillet
A la lueur des lampions
On danse sans arrêt
Au son de l'accordéon
Dans les rues
Depuis qu'à Paris
On a pris la Bastille
Dans tous les faubourgs
Et à chaque carrefour
Il y a des gars
Et il y a des filles
Qui sur les pavés
Sans arrêt nuit et jour
Font des tours et des tours
