A Collection Of My Favorite French Songs From Yesteryear
I grew up listening to those wonderful songs that I am introducing to you today. How many evenings I spent dreaming of romance while listening to Aznavour's songs? He was my favorite singer at that time.
I have quite an extended list of favorite singers and my hope is that you will enjoy listening to them as much as I did, and maybe even more.
I listen to those songs when I feel nostalgic. They will forever live in my heart.

Que C'est Triste Venise
Charles Aznazour
Que C'est Triste Venise quand on ne s'aime plus......
Delightful song.
Charles Aznavour-Que c'est triste Venise
Charles Aznavour-Que c'est triste Venise Que c'est triste Venise Au temps des amours mortes Que c'est triste Venise Quand on ne s'aime plus On cherche encore des mots Mais l'ennui les emporte On voudrais bien pleurer Mais on ne le peut plus Que c'est triste Venise Lorsque les barcarolles Ne viennent souligner Que des silences creux Et que le cœur se serre En voyant les gondoles Abriter le bonheur Des couples amoureux Que c'est triste Venise Au temps des amours mortes Que c'est triste Venise Quand on ne s'aime plus Les musées, les églises Ouvrent en vain leurs portes Inutile beauté Devant nos yeux déçus Que c'est triste Venise Le soir sur la lagune Quand on cherche une main Que l'on ne vous tend pas Et que l'on ironise Devant le clair de lune Pour tenter d'oublier Ce qu'on ne se dit pas Adieu tout les pigeons Qui nous ont fait escorte Adieu Pont des Soupirs Adieu rêves perdus C'est trop triste Venise Au temps des amours mortes C'est trop triste Venise Quand on ne s'aime plus

Desormais
Charles Aznavour
CHARLES AZNAVOUR - DÉSORMAIS - PARIS
CHARLES AZNAVOUR - DÉSORMAIS-FOTOS DE PARIS Désormais On ne nous verra plus ensemble Désormais Mon cœur vivra sous les décombres De ce monde qui nous ressemble Et que le temps a dévasté Désormais Ma voix ne dira plus je t'aime Désormais Moi qui voulais être ton ombre Je serai l'ombre de moi-même Ma main de ta main séparée Jamais plus Nous ne mordrons au même fruit Ne dormirons au même lit Ne referons les mêmes gestes Jamais plus Ne connaîtrons la même peur De voir s'enfuir notre bonheur Et du reste désormais Désormais Les gens nous verrons l'un sans l'autre Désormais Nous changerons nos habitudes Et ces mots que je croyais nôtres Tu les diras dans d'autres bras Désormais Je garderai ma porte close Désormais Enfermé dans ma solitude Je traînerai parmi les choses Qui parleront toujours de toi Jamais plus Nous ne mordrons au même fruit Ne dormirons au même lit Ne referons les mêmes gestes Jamais plus Ne connaîtrons la même peur De voir s'enfuir notre bonheur Et du reste désormais

Celine Dion - Pour que tu m'aimes encore
Celine Dion - Pour que tu m'aimes encore Album : D'eux Lyrics : J'ai compris tous les mots, j'ai bien compris, merci Raisonnable et nouveau, c'est ainsi par ici Que les choses ont changé, que les fleurs ont fané Que le temps d'avant, c'était le temps d'avant Que si tout zappe et lasse, les amours aussi passent Il faut que tu saches J'irai chercher ton cœur si tu l'emportes ailleurs Même si dans tes danses d'autres dansent tes heures J'irai chercher ton âme dans les froids dans les flammes Je te jetterai des sorts pour que tu m'aimes encore Fallait pas commencer m'attirer me toucher Fallait pas tant donner moi je sais pas jouer On me dit qu'aujourd'hui, on me dit que les autres font ainsi Je ne suis pas les autres Avant que l'on s'attache, avant que l'on se gâche Je veux que tu saches J'irai chercher ton cœur si tu l'emportes ailleurs Même si dans tes danses d'autres dansent des heures J'irai chercher ton âme dans les froids dans les flammes Je te jetterai des sorts pour que tu m'aimes encore Je trouverai des langages pour chanter tes louanges Je ferai nos bagages pour d'infinies vendanges Les formules magiques des marabouts d'Afrique J'les dirai sans remords pour que tu m'aimes encore Je m'inventerai reine pour que tu me retiennes Je me ferai nouvelle pour que le feu reprenne Je deviendrai ces autres qui te donnent du plaisir Vos jeux seront les nôtres, si tel est ton désir Plus brillante plus belle pour une autre étincelle Je me changerai en or pour que tu m'aimes encore.

My husband is British and a French major, so I recognize many of these names. One of his favorites is 'Ne Me Quitte Pas' by Jacques Brel, and another is an English language song by Charles Aznavour called 'She'. You have chosen some wonderful tunes too. 5*s.

While I had four years of French in highschool, I don't get any practice nowdays. It still was fun trying to sing "La Boheme" as fast as Aznavour...whew! I also vaguely remember Sylvie Vartan from the '60s, and The Singing Nuns. ;-) 5* for a very sweet lens & faved.
