Patrick Hernandez enregistre au Studio D.E.S, le titre disco Born To Be Alive, inspiré d'anciennes chansons à succès de plusieurs pays, qui était à l'origine une chanson rock. Cet enregistrement sera remixé dans différents studios et, c'est finalement la version mixée au Studio Kathy, à Ohain (Belgique), qui sera mise sur le marché. Le disque rencontre d'abord le succès en Italie en 1978, où il est certifié disque d’or, avant d'inonder le marché, lors de sa sortie aux États-Unis, il devient le troisième tube le plus vendu de tous les temps dans ce pays (position qu'il garde toujours actuellement). Au final, Born to be Alive est Disque d'or ou Disque de platine dans une cinquantaine de pays, avec plus de 25 millions de disques vendus à travers le monde,

We were born to be alive
We were born to be alive

Born, born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
Yes we were born
Born
Born
(Born to be alive)

People ask me why
I never find a place to stop
And settle down, down, down
But I never wanted all those things
People need to justify
Their lives, lives, lives

Yes we were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
Yes we were born
Born
Born
(Born to be alive)

It's good to be alive
To be alive
To be alive
It's good to be alive
To be alive
To be alive

It's good to be alive

Time was on my side
When I was running down the street
It was so fine, fine, fine
A suitcase and an old guitar
It's something I need to occupy
A mind like mine

Yes we were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
Yes we were born
Born
Born
(Born to be alive)

Yes we were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
Yes we were born
Born
Born
(Born to be alive)

Yes we were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
Yes we were born
Born

Yes we were born
