Charles Trenet - La Mér download song

Who in heaven's name would give this song a thumb's down? How sad for them....

Pay reverence to The Charles Trenet from Taiwan

My parents bought this 45 RPM when I was just a young kid. It was backed with a song called Marie Marie. We vacationed in Quebec every summer and so we heard this song a lot. I always thought the voice didn't fit the face for some reason. The first french record we ever owned. I have great memories of my youth whenever I hear it.

My grandfather and grandmother loved this song. My friends don't understand it But me as a 23 year old, l fell in love with this song. I miss them a lot. My grandfather was a captain and loved sailing.

one of my favourite French language songs - I can't speak a word of French but I can feel every word this man sings.

Gets "Burial at Sea" flashbacks along with La vie en rose. You know what I mean.

Somehow, it's especially poignant just now.

I was born in Paris 76-years ago and grew up listening to this music thanks to my maman. We lived in the 18-eme arrondissement near Montmartre, where Edith Piaf gained fame in Paris. She and I both loved this song. We came to this great country in 1952 and ended up in Queens. I now live in N.H. Thanks to the brave Americans, I am here today. In 1943 bombs were falling left and right and my father put me and my mother on a train to Ellon, Normandy to be safe. We were a few miles from Caen, a city leveled by the bombing, and survived the D-Day invasion. We went swimming at Arromanches after the war. I still remember the three sunken Liberty ships facing the coast and all the DUK-boats. Thank you to the brave, who died fighting, so that we can now live in peace. I still have all my maman's 78s. I, too, am an immigrant. Michel

Used to great effect in that most brilliant of comedies, Funny Bones.

this was my grandfathers favourite song. It was played at his funeral and whenever I want to feel his wonderful spirit I come here and close my eyes and listen to it. I miss him so much. I will forever love this song. It means so much to me.

This is one of my happy songs when I need a quick mood pick-up! Magical what a dense atmosphere this song can create.

Greetings from a cold and frozen Scandinavian. Just wanted to let you know that we would be nothing but vikings eating raw fish without you French guys. Thanks for everything.

Marvelous! Anyone listening during Covid-19 lockdown April 2020. I'm in Thailand..

My Mom is 50% French, so that means I'm a French Quarter? Anyway, love to hear Charles Trenet and his music...so cool...:)

As a french, I'm very glad to see many strangers on this video. Thank you very much for your interest on our culture. :-)
