One of his most important and adorable recordings.
A unique touch for both text and music.
And even an amazing legato singing, superior to many classical singers.
Thank you for remaining me of Les temps des Cerises!
What beautiful touching lyrics. The time of the cherries (i.e. youth) .
When we find ourselves in the time of the cherries
And gay nightingale and mocking blackbird
Will all be celebrating
Beautiful women will have madness in their heads
And lovers will have sunshine in their hearts
When we sing The Time Of The Cherries
The mockingbird will sing much better
But the time of the cherries is very short
Where we go to pick them, two-by-two while dreaming
Ear pendants,
Cherries of love in similar dresses
Falling under the leaves as drops of blood
But The time of the cherries is very short
Pendants of coral that we pick while dreaming
When you get to the time of the cherries
If you are afraid of heartache
Avoid the pretty girls
I who do not fear cruel sufferings
I will not live without suffering one day
When you get to the time of the cherries
You will also have heartache
I will always love the time of the cherries
It is from this time that I keep in my heart
An open wound
And Lady Fortune, by being offered to me
Will never calm my pain
I will always love the time of the cherries
And the memory that I keep in my heart
