A LA CLAIRE FONTAINE

[pclincke]

who is singing this song? can't find the same version like this one on spotify?!?

[elizabethoeansky]

@pclincke by a Chinese singer called Shang Wenjie = ]

[mscdancer]

@elizabethoeansky This version is not by Shang Wenjie. It's by Les Petits Minous.

[mscdancer]

@pclincke Go to amazon mp3 and search A la Claire Fontaine Les Petits Minous. You'll find what you want.

[ocgirl1993]

[bigblurtoad]

Il y a longtemps que je t'aime

Jamais je ne t'oublierai

[sundeish]

memories of my childhood..

[sakuranor]

It's beautiful and it's kind of depressing though.

[oppvu]

At the clear fountain,

While I was strolling by,

I found the water so nice

That I went in to bathe.

Chorus

So long I've been loving you,

I will never forget you.

[Norbert112394]

cette chanson est terrible

[MJ4evermore]

Je voudrais que la rose

Fût encore au rosier,

Et que mon doux ami

Fût encore à m'aimer

This was the first song in french I ever learnt, I was 7 then <3

[echy100]

@MJ4evermore i don't understand the lyric of this song, can U explain?

[Polevaultnerd08]

great movie but the book is sadder... Kitty never loved him ever in the book. She even sleeps with Townson again..

[zoolassie]

@Polevaultnerd08 seriously?! That is really tragic! :-(

[wonderland03]

@jimjustjim76 they were his notes on the bacteria lol (at least that's what I think?) she was sad that he died trying to help out as much as he can...he was a good man

[pafchoka]

Meh kinda expected one of em dying . :) a thought the song its worth it ;) the movie was great i think he planned her coming to this town and then fell in love with him for real.Sweet song and movie anway.

[WVBoy25401]

watch?v=EtPDs0R7WBo for a very different view on this song!

[SanDiegoSubs]

Il y a longtemps que je t'aime, JAMAIS je ne t'oublierai

[laurel55]

@jimjustjim76 i think the papers were his research notes.

[SallyandJohnny]

I am crying right now

Just can't help it

can't : (

[guylaine85]

salut si tu veux tu peux aller voir ma video qui s'apelle ne jamais laisser tomber ce qu'on aime .et comme image il y a une girafle . et fait tourner à ce que tu conner

[Akali15]

this version is on iTunes now

[BaremyiahZ]

I simultaneously hate and love this version - if only there were some kind of commercial release for it but no, the only thing we have is this track stuck stubbornly to Naomi Watt's annoying interruption, "What are you doing?" and all the SFX that comes with it.

[monkeymajikitty]

@BaremyiahZ yeah, I know what yu mean.... =/ 

[karmajapon01]

Se ne sont que des souvenir d'enfance qui remonte de plus cette scène et très emovente bravo

[AnnaPirate]

Belle chanson,qui devient vraiment touchante et triste durant cette scène.

Beau film.<3

[karlosgene]

Como me gustó esta pelicula! es hermosa!

[axisgraf]

this was a very wonderful movie with a great ending!

[matt47forTED]

the perfect song to end this movie, i mean u knew the whole movie he was gonna die so i thought i was prepared, but nope i cried and laughed like a baby. straight up. that kind of crying where you are crying so hard and there's so many tears your body has to laugh too and you feel relieved about alot of things and for a minute the world has a different look

[Yuna4008]

Zut!

[MegaDbar]

L'an passe j'ai chante ça en classe de musique et a la fin tous le monde voulait le chanter devant tous l'école. Malheureusement on n'a pas.

[BellePaix]

This was such a great movie

[getleverage20]

A La Claire Fontaine Going for a walk I found the water so beautiful I myself am bathed Long ago that I love you I will never forget you. On an oak leaf I dried myself On the highest branch A nightingale sang Long ago that I love you Never, I will never forget you.

[getleverage20]

Nightingale sings, sings You who has the heart gay You have the heart to laugh I have to cry Long ago that I love I will never forget. I lost my friend Without deserving For a bouquet of roses I denied it Long ago that I love I will never forget. I want the pink Rose was still at And my sweet friend Still loved me Long ago that I love I will never forget. Long ago that I love you Never, I will never forget you.

[luvmuzik11]

its just so sad everytime i hear this song i wanna cry.

[peter5106]

at the clear fountain, where i was walking i found the water so beautiful that i bathed in its waters. I have loved you for a long time, I will never forget you. Underneath the leaves of an oak tree I dried myself. on the highest branch a nightingale sang. chorus. sing, nightingale, sing. you with the happy heart. you have a heart filled with laughter me, i have nothing but tears. chorus i lost my love without having deserved it through a bouquet of roses that i denied him. chorus

[unitedroad16]

A la claire fontaine, M'en allant promener, J'ai trouvé l'eau si belle Que je m'y suis baignée. Il y a longtemps que je t'aime, Jamais je ne t'oublierai !

Il y a longtemps que je_ taime,

[villageXlady]

any translation in english?

i like this song

[justicefadingtoblack]

By the clear running fountain I strayed one summer day. The water looked so cooling I bathed without delay. Refrain: Many long years have I loved you, Ever in my heart you'll stay. Beneath an oak tree shady I dried myself that day When from the topmost branch A bird's song came my way.

[villageXlady]

tvb母親節廣告歌呀!!!

[undinepietrzak]

The book is pretty vague about that - Kitty never really figured it out, but she told Charlie the baby was Walter's.

If you can get your hands on a copy it is worth the read - some events take place that will either make you love Kitty or hate her, but it is a very complete ending - everything comes full circle.

[undinepietrzak]

I loved this film, but the ending wasn't really true to the book--nevertheless, it's a beautiful ending and the song is lovely.

[Hot87Cold]

i love this film, but even if i hadn't this song and scene from the movie would move me. its an amazing song, the atmosphere it creates is just right. heatbreaking to finally find someone you've had by your side all the time and then only to loose them on discovering them.

[Vixylicous124]

SO True! (:

[velikasirena]

the most beautiful love story and song i've ever heard...

[156metal]

esta cancion es bn linda me encanta la parte q traduce "por tanto tiempo te he amado, nunca te olvidare"

[nasmoe]

this part makes cry so much

[OAblaO]

whats the movie

[nasmoe]

the painted veil

[AlbicelesteYRiver01]

I wanna cry every time i see this movie. Great show.

[Hannepotatonose]

is this french? x )But if it is, why is it then a french song in this movie? This movie is not french :S

[timarasa]

well the nuns at the convent were all french; i wouldn't be surprised if they had taught the orphan girls french songs as well. plus the meaning of the song fits perfectly with what she is going through. beautiful song!

[kahnt]

what is the song about? what does it say?

[timarasa]

if you google "a la claire fontaine lyrics" you will find the translation. also if you go back a page or two in this comments section, someone posted the english translation (i think it was posted by OneTwoReadyGo).

[05BandaNera]

tres belle chanson francaise!

[FranceNY09]

Merci

[vijaypush]

Bouleversant ! La plus belle chanson au monde!!!!?????

[kd6jct]

[ceqbr]

[Lanooz]

[CSteveOboe88]

kel tres jolie chanson triste, je vous apprecie enormement d'avoir poste ca

[pr1cessemarshmalow]

J'ai tellement pleuré en regardant ce filme (la voile des illusions...) Il est juste magnifique!!!J'vous le conseille!!!♥

[ladanseuse71]

ahh moi aussi. il est excellent =)

[hothotsizzlepancakes]

omg i heard the country version of this song and i was so mad that someone could make such a beautiful song as this so terrible! i think that lady should go back to singing about cows and haystacks and stuff. no offense to anyone who likes ountry or anything

[Vixylicous124]

AGREED! (:

[arendy30]

Who is the singer? i would like know because is a beautiful song and i want have it!!

[PCMusic75]

The song "à la claire fontaine" is a French traditional.

[lglchick1970]

I used my brain (i.e., google) and found the lyrics. Beautiful song.

[lglchick1970]

I just watched this movie for the first time and fell immediately in love with this song. Thanks so much for posting this version. I think the addition of the children singing is more than precious.

Can someone post the lyrics in English? I don't speak or read French and would love to know what they're saying.

[OneTwoReadyGo]

At the clear fountain

While I was strolling by

I found the water so nice

That I went in to bathe

So long have I loved you

I will never forget you

Under an oak tree

I dried myself

On the highest branch

A nightingale was singing

[OneTwoReadyGo]

Sing nightingale sing Your heart is so happy Your heart feels like laughing Mine feels like weeping I lost my beloved Without deserving it For a bunch of roses That I denied her I wanted the rose To be still on the bush And my sweet beloved To be still loving me This is more or less the literal translation. Also, for anyone who would like the downloaded file, just send me your email and I can send you this song, if you'd like. :)

[sezzy50]

wow, thankyou soo much, i couldn't find this version anywhere!

it makes me want to cry!

[kristakdc77]

I absolutely bawled during this scene, its still hard to watch without getting emotional. I loved this movie to death, definitely one of my favorites hands down. They collided two amazing actors into the concept of a brilliantly made movie. God, it was great :)

[Snakif]

A la claire fontaine m'en allant promener (L)

lol i was just thinking if an english wanted to know what she sings it would be veryyyyyy difficult to him to understand something because it's a french poem and the langage is very formal oO!

[vamosrafa07]

I agree, it's so formal, it'd be incredibly hard to translate, but when you actually understand the lyrics... I mean, it's just a heartbreakingly beautiful song.

[azukita18]

Il y a longtemps que je t'aime

jamais je ne t'oublirais...

J'adore cette chanson, elle est trop belle

I love this song, it is so beautiful

Adoro esta cancion, esta super lindisima!!!!!
