Hi all,
Here's a french song. My friend Hervé is singing. Christian

RT 916 Acoustic Bass
RT 1903 Guitar
RT 1902 Background Guitar
RT 2336 Viola
RT 2337 Violin
RT 1856 Cello

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/reveries-dun-miserable

1) Eclairant son visage, deux amandes bleues
rendraient anthropophage toute âme sensible.
Moi, l'humble misérable au ventre vide,
j'en ai le cœur qui tremble la bouche avide.

Refrain :
Et je me fais tendre, le temps d'une trêve.
le temps de me pendre au cou de mes rêves.

2) Bien sûr que je fabule sans doute un peu trop.
Pourtant mes yeux se brûlent au feu de sa peau.
Moi, l'humble misérable errant dans les rues,
j'ai le cœur qui s'emballe pour une inconnue.

3) Elle a levé son ancre, délaissé mon port.
Son corps nappé de sucre au loin s'évapore.
Moi, l'humble misérable criant famine,
j'ai le cœur qui s'ensable dans la débine.

Dernier refrain :
Je m'étais fait tendre, le temps d'une trêve.
le temps de me pendre au cou de mes rêves.

Very nice! smile

Any chance that we could get an English translation? Google Translate made a mess of the chorus.

Thanks!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Great smooth latin groove! Loved the use of the bolero guitars and all the elements came together just right to evoke a certain mood--I'm betting that the lyric, also, fits as nicely. Beautiful!

Maybe I'm a softy for French music. Regardless, I always enjoy your contributions - and this is no exception.

You've captured a perfect delivery in just so many ways. The sparseness of the melody sits perfectly and could not possibly have been balanced with this song any better. Another quality production. More!

Very well done, Christian smile It is so calming, and so relaxing to listen to! Even though I don't understand a word of what was said, it still triggered an emotional response for me. The song is very well balanced too - a pristine mixing job, and your vocal performance is near flawless.

Not a thing I'd change here - thanks so much for sharing!


Cheers,

What a lovely sound this song has! My french is pretty rusty so I had to look up a translation, and I must say I really adore the lyrics. I think you dod a great job here.

Thanks for sharing!

My heart is in the sand.
I LOVE classic chanson style & sounds.
I'd love a sensitive translation. My high school French stopped in 1973.
Well done Hervé & your good self.


Cheers
