Charles Trénet

Louis Charles Auguste Claude Trenet, known as Charles Trenet (French pronunciation: ​[ʃaʁl tʁəne];18 May, 1913 – 19 February, 2001) was a French singer and songwriter, most famous for his recordings from the late 1930s until the mid-1950s, though his career continued through the 1990s. In an era in which it was exceptional for a singer to write his or her own material, Trenet wrote prolifically and declined to record any but his own songs. more »

American souvenirs

Sometime I'm remembering
The fabulous days
Of my life so charming
Young going my way
South California or streets of New York
Or you French Canada with a girl in every port
O Miami mine
I was loving you
Also darling Diane
Je vous aime beaucoup
You're staying sweety for ever in my heart
And if I'm returning I will never part.

Ô Virginie
Where the birds babble sweet in Springtime
And Washington D.C.
You are not only here for the rhyme
Los Angeles mine
San Francisco dear
You stay on the line
Of my souvenir
I say best of luck to you for evermore
And maybe one day I will come back encore

Parfois je m'rappelle
Les jours fabuleux
D'une vie nouvelle
Dans un temps heureux
Douce Californie ou rues de New York
Et vous filles jolies du Canada dans chaque port
Miami mon âme
De vous j'me souviens
Avec toi ma Diane
On s'aimait si bien
Oui, vous resterez toutes pour toujours dans mon cœur
Si je retourne un jour vers vous ah quel bonheur !

Ô Virginie
Where the birds babble sweet
And Washington D.C.
You are not only here for the rhyme
Los Angeles mine
San Francisco dear
You stay on the line
Of my souvenir
I say best of luck to you for evermore
And may be one day I will come back encore
Vous n'êtes pas loin souvenirs anciens
Souvenirs américains
You're not so far, to me so near
American souvenirs…
