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.

Cro Magnon said...

Thank goodness only their looks were similar.

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

Cro Magnon said...

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.

Cro Magnon said...

Listen to it again; then you will.

Tiddles said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

Glad to be of service, Tiddles.

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

Cro Magnon said...

Again, glad to be of service.

Marty said...

Never has my morning cup of tea felt so sophisticated.

Cro Magnon said...

That sounds perfect.

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

Cro Magnon said...

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

The Weaver of Grass said...

Still prefer Piaf Cro.

Cro Magnon said...

I love Piaf too.

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
