Charles Trenet - Que Reste-T-il De Nos Amours
Trenet singing one of his most evocative, and nostalgic, songs.
I'm sure that even non-French speakers will enjoy this; in fact you'll probably be humming it for the rest of the day, especially if you play it twice. "Que reste-t-il de nos amours...... tra la la."

I thought he looked a bit like George Formby. He certainly doesn't sing like him. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness only their looks were similar.
DeleteVery Gallic. My mother had a record of him singing "La Mer".
ReplyDeleteHe wrote several real 'classics'; La Mer is one of them.
DeleteThe first film on my new phone. It works. And a French lesson thrown in. I dont think I'll be humming it all day though. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteListen to it again; then you will.
DeleteJe l'adore! It's so typically French! Thank you for brightening up my morning.
ReplyDeleteGlad to be of service, Tiddles.
DeleteThanks for the warning, Cro. The last thing I need right now is an earworm.

Again, glad to be of service.
DeleteNever has my morning cup of tea felt so sophisticated.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds perfect.
DeleteCharles Trenet - can you imagine I discovered him through our son? Such a sunny voice, tender and optimistic. Love his songs!
ReplyDeleteMe too, Brigitta, but I haven't listened to him for a while. This one has to be my favourite.
DeleteStill prefer Piaf Cro.
ReplyDeleteI love Piaf too.
DeleteVoulez vous danser avec moi? :)

ReplyDeleteLove,
