"'I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango)' is a single by Jamaican singer Grace Jones, released in 1981. The song is a reworking of Astor Piazzolla's 'Libertango'. It has sold 146,800 copies in France. The song juxtaposes 'Libertango', an Argentine tango classic written by composer and bandoneonist Astor Piazzolla (first recorded by Piazzolla himself in 1974), against a reggae arrangement and new lyrics penned by Jones herself and Barry Reynolds. Lyrically, it describes the darker side of Parisian nightlife. The song includes spoken parts in French: 'Tu cherches quoi? À rencontrer la mort ? Tu te prends pour qui ? Toi aussi tu détestes la vie...' which translates 'What are you looking for? For death? Who do you think you are? You hate life, you too...' ..."
