Butterfly

About Butterfly

"Butterfly" is a pop song, written and recorded by the French singer-songwriter, Danyel Gérard (born Gerard Daniel Khertakian, 7 March 1939, Paris) in the late 1960s. It was initially a hit in the French language. In the early 1970s English language words were written, and Gerard recorded it again in the United States. In 1971 he also did German, Spanish and Italian versions. "Butterfly" was a very popular song internationally, selling over seven million copies. Many other musicians recorded it, both in instrumental and vocal versions. In the U. S., that list included Eydie Gormé, Goldie Hawn and Eddy Arnold. The single was Number 1 in Germany for fifteen weeks in summer 1971. It also reached #2 in South Africa. It reached Number 11 (and spent 12 weeks) in the UK Singles Chart in October 1971. Lack of further chart activity in the UK saw both singer and song branded as a one-hit wonder. It also appeared in the first compilation album put together specifically for telemarketing in the UK, K-Tel's 20 Dynamic Hits. It was a similar story in the U. S., where Gerard's single peaked at #78 in the Billboard Hot 100. In Germany he had some more songs in the charts, such as "Isabella" or "Meine Stadt". more »

Tu me dis loin des yeux loin do coeur
Tu me dis qu'on oublie le meilleur
Malgre les horizons je sais qu'elle m'aime encore
Cette fille que j'avais surnommee.

Butterfly
My butterfly dans un mois je reviendrai
Butterfly
My butterfly pres de toi je resterai.

L'ocean see'est petit tout petit
Pour de coeur ou l'amour a grandi
Malgre ce que tu dis tu vois qu'elle m'aine encore
Cette fille que j'avais enlassee.

Butterfly 
Notre amour est si grand oui si grand
Que le ciel etiendrait tout de temps
Malgre ce que tu dis je sais qu'elle m'aime encore
Cette fille que j'avais embrassee.
