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.

    Very Gallic. My mother had a record of him singing "La Mer".

      He wrote several real 'classics'; La Mer is one of them.

    The 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.

    Je l'adore! It's so typically French! Thank you for brightening up my morning.

    Thanks for the warning, Cro. The last thing I need right now is an earworm.

    Never has my morning cup of tea felt so sophisticated.

    Charles Trenet - can you imagine I discovered him through our son? Such a sunny voice, tender and optimistic. Love his songs!

      Me too, Brigitta, but I haven't listened to him for a while. This one has to be my favourite.

    Franklin and I want to learn the lyrics so we can wander the neighborhood, singing in French. People already stare at us. I might as well give them a real reason to stare.

    Love,
    Janie
