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
One of the great songs, with perfect voice for it. A wonderful advert for things French that will attract visitors to France when this damned Covid-19 is well behind us.
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.
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.
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.
