Не знала, что Бурвиль записывал песни. Оказывается, в 2006 году был выпущен Double CD с 40 треками! вот бы еще сидеры появились...
По-моему, это прекрасно

Пишет  nebuhadnazzer:

Какой все-таки огромный мир - французская эстрада 20 века. Слушая ее, понимаешь и другое: что именно Франция - не СССР и тем более не США - в течение последних двух столетий была страной, которая активнее всех проповедовала общечеловеческие ценности - просто любовь к людям

UPD Как оказалось, существованию Бурвиля мы во многом обязаны Фернанделю, который начал петь гораздо раньше, успел стать кумиром Андрэ Захарии Рембура и повлиять на выбор двух его (!) подражательных псеводонимов.
У Фернанделя нашлось аж три альбома и Тиф подкинула ссылку на песенку. Конечно, мелодия и исполнение на любителя, но текст - держите меня семеро


перевод на англ
At a corner of the Boulogne wood (1)
I once met Félicie
She was from Burgundy
And I was there by taxi
I soon found an opportunity
To start up a conversation

The weather was splendid
I sat on the grass
So did Félicie
I noticed the trees were budding
So was the snapdragon
So was Félicie
By us a blackbird was whistling
The dew was beading
So was Félicie
Close to us a church tower was ringing
It had a strange bell (2)
So had Félicie

To seduce the pussy
I took her to Chartrier for dinner
Since she was refined and fussy
She had a pig foot on the grill
And while she was eating it
I played footsie with mine

I had a tomato lobster
It had hairy legs
So had Félicie
Then a kind of pasta dish
It looked like a sausage (3)
So did Félicie
I indulged myself in a rabbit stew
It smelled like shallot
So did Félicie
Then a pear and wafers
But the pear was overripe
So was Félicie

Tipsy from Aramon wine
She whispered "whenever you want!"
So I took my conquest
To the nearest hotel
It was the Abyssinia and Calvados hotel in the same place

I found the room common
It was all dusty
So was Félicie
I quickly washed my hands
The sink was leaking
So was Félicie
Under the wardrobe there was a wedge
Because it needed levelling (4)
So did Félicie
There was also an armchair
But it was full of fleas
So was Félicie
And the limp bedsheets
Were tickling my legs
So was Félicie

Кстати, самую непотребную, "дворовую" часть, хитрый Фернандель не допел )))
