[landinmickael]

Cette chanson c de l'émotion à l'état pur merci de nous l'avoir fait partager

[s5j5b5]

elle est comme une ange..

cette chansons.. moi, je l'adore, c'est precieuse

[malfaz67]

Oh and BTW i read L'Etranger 'when i was a teenager,it regrettably influence me in the wrong way.

[malfaz67]

@michaelwebber504 No, you are not the only male with an Edith Piaf fetish, I love her dearly and I am as heterosexual as a heterosexual man can be.

[Michaelweber504]

LolI haunt looked at YouTube in a while.....Edith Bunker? Oh he'll yes!

[gcpropertymanagement]

She is poetic.

[emmathekaty]

I'm 13 and since watching La Vie En Rose, the film about her, I've loved her :) Her music will definitely get passed on through the generations. & I love the crackly noise in all old music.

[kimmydrinx]

i would love to have that bag she has in her lap.

[jurek46pink]

@kimmydrinx

wish that it'd bring you her talent.

[3LARI]

Was this song named after Albert Camus' book?

[parlophonman]

@3LARI

I don't think so.

Camus' book is dated 1942

whereas this song and this recording - 1936,

as I mentioned in the video.

[3LARI]

@parlophonman Yes I was thinking that '36 sounded a bit early for Camus, but was too lazy to go to Wikipedia!

Thanks. Perhaps this is where he got the name of the book?

[Michaelweber504]

My three things I could never live without.... 1. Edith Warton books, 2. the documentary Grey Gardens - the story of the two Edith Beales...and 3. Edith Piaf music. Am I the only guy with an "Edith fetish?" LOL

[jurek46pink]

@Michaelweber504

I would still suggest... Edith...Stein !

[mazdaishpahan]

@jurek46pink and edie sedgwick

[jacksters19]

@Michaelweber504 thats a good thing =] me too. i would go lezbo with her =]

[bbbuuugggyyy]

@Michaelweber504 You are not!

[UTubist512]

@Michaelweber504 Edith Bunker?

[marioselva1]

@Michaelwe I do not blame you, this little woman, and with many problems, had a voice and immeasurable charismaber504

[imgaston]

The voice of the Sparrow.

[Memale2009]

Cette chanson est typique du répertoire de la Piaf pendant les années 30: elle préférait ce type de déclamation dramatique sans beaucoup de modulation de la voix. C'était presque toujours une sorte de plainte, d'accusation, de regret. Un très bel exemple! Merci.

[cinemalego]

i remember seeing a movie about her some months ago

[tinkoopok8]

merci, merci

[papucok]

Obdivuhodný hlas,odivuhodná žena,akorá ty drogy,ale nemění to můj názor na Paní Edith Piaf.

Skláním se.

[TheRenamay]

Immer noch faszinierend!

[mouila]

Merci Edith

[TheDivinediablesse]

J'AIME L'AIME C MA PREFERE!!!!!!

[Abellalisa]

Edith Piaf is a shining light, still burning bright. Her personal triumphs, her pains all a part of the genius of her expression. I feel her emotion to my soul.

[Stusnow11]

What a tragedy. This singer for the ages was killed by facists. All caused by war, greed, starvation: You know, the SOS that has plagued our species for a long time. Edith became an addict when there was nothing left of her country and she had been abandoned by her mother. Damn, though, she could sing!

What are you going to do when the NAZI party takes over our country? Oh, the NAZIS are now "teabaggers." And they are inching closer into our government like flies on the wall.

[jppuertorico85]

C'est magnifique

[Kenentigern7]

Always tickled me that Camus was an international capped goalkeeper. See existentialism, sparrows and football.

Seriously great wee post, well done

[Beatrizconsuelo]

UNICA, SIEMPRE. NUNCA OTRA IGUAL.

[llddau]

mmm i'd love to hear Carole King do some of her stuff.

[BlackAss211]

@llddau

How dare you!

[blowes1]

Il s'agit du livre de Camus? (Je suis desole de ma francaise mauvaise, j'espere que vous pouvez me comprende) S'il vous plait reponder en francaise (tres tres tres facile) ou l'anglais

xx

[beautythrumisery]

Out of all the amazing songs that Piaf sang... this is by far the one I cherish most. The piano is light and accommodating and just enough to follow her voice perfectly.

[puliyrurtia]

emocionante.

[antequem]

Interprétaion vulgaire qui ne fait pas oublier celle , autrement plus distinguée, de sa crétrice, Annette Lajon.

[CapriccioMusic]

D'après vos commentaires précédents, je vois que vous avez un problème envers Piaf. Désolé, mais je dois avouer que je suis en désaccord. Elle est éternelle, et non pour sa « laideur », mais pour son talent et son âme incomparables. Elle est une légende; ses enregistrements donnent preuve à ce fait. Elle donne tout en chantant; son coeur, son âme, son corps... elle est la musique. Et vous l'insultez d'une telle manière — je trouve ça étonnant et offensant.

[sillyboydeux]

This is what always separates Piaf from every other singer: each song for her is a pièce de scène as much as it is a piece of music. Everything is always perfect and she doesn't even try: it's completely reflexive and instinctual. Elle était la musique, la scène et l'amour ensemble!

[zaza90100]

stupenda melodia interpretata con amore dalla grande Piaf che con la sua soave voce emoziona gli astanti, ottimo video grazie Jurek...francesco.-

[toy2day]

best piaf song

[albrecharito]

sus canciones aveces me ponen triste, pero su hermosa voz de un pajarito cantor lo alegra.

[mofmedia]

Edith Piaf a gold voice of France

NO COMENT

[Pashatube]

@mofmedia Her voice is universally captivating and internationally well known. She may be gold voice of france admired all over the world. Even today after some 60-70 everyone who hears her voice its drawn to its vibrant colorful magical sound.

[MrJeepersplonk]

Well, perhaps not KILL... Mil i Maria are/is good, teh girl's got a voice for sure.  Like Piaf though? A bit nasal, good pipes, goes a bit flat at times though. Piaf doesn't ever go flat.

[psycopcylon]

Oh god, I'll probably get flamed by the diehards for this but... Mil i Maria have a vocalist who sounds a little bit similar to the great Edith. Hey, don't kill me if you disagree.

[Elcarmo]

Gosto muito da canção francesa. Há toda uma poesia e um romantismo que nos transporta para algum lugar que não sabemos onde. Não me agrada muito a maneira de pronunciar os erres na caçaõ francesa. Acho muito forte e de certa forma quebra o ar de romantismo do cancioneiro francês. A Piaf, mestra na pronúncia do erre, é uma lenda que se tornou, de certa forma, um símbolo da canção francesa. El Carmo.

[ch3rryxx]

Beautiful. Need I say more?

[woelfin1352]

She will never be forgotten !

What a amazing voice .... wonderful woman.

R.I.P. Édith Piaf

You live in our hearts and you live in the heart of Paris....

[eFrenchguy]

parfois elle me fais pleuree

[sojealous08]

I think that the movie really opened up Piaf's music for a whole new generation. We will make sure her songs ( and that beautiful voice) are never forgotten.

RIP Edith

[rvz77]

which movie is this?

[TURKKNCL]

I should have been the one who uploaded this song. :P

[jurek46pink]

You can still be...-

Piaf made then ... two takes of the recording.

[emilnl]

elle est mon Dieu

[didoupiaf]

Shewas great!

From Russia

[mmebaudou]

her vioce vill never die

[MsKupan]

Duży talent. W młodości życie przepełnione biedą. Mała kobietka poszukująca szczęścia miłości, przeżywająca godnie swoje kłopoty, umiejąca cieszyć się z życia.Cudowny głos jak diament na dla jej wielbicieli pozostanie niezapomniany. Los obdarzył ją pięknym głosem ale krótkim życiem. piosenki tak bardzo przypominają Francję ,

[GreekParodios]

lovely woman!!!!

[didoupiaf]

my favourite ealy sng of Didou....

it's... extraordinary..

[lediabledelabastille]

la véritable créatrice de cette chanson est annette lajon a ki édith a "volé" la chanson.

Mais qui se souvient de annette lajon ????

[ndesign2]

Amazing talent !!

There will never be another ....

[55882063]

Un grand chanteur, même si elles ont subi beaucoup d'une femme que j'admire votre force d'aller de l'avant et continue de lutter ADMIRE votre force.

[MrAmilcar666]

una verdadera Diva de la cancion, descanse enpas Edith Piaf

[Babejuda]

A real Diva. I agree. Also the art of the French chanson is amazing: it has every shade of human emotions.

[takouska]

Je viens juste déposé un énorme bouquet de roses pour toi Edith

[tkgawa]

Truly a great singer and and interesting history. The strength in her voice goes against her size. As I am just a very elementary French student I can only pick out phrases but the entire song is amazing and the image of its Stranger lurks about.

[Marjo131000]

mais, vous comprenez les paroles? lol

[jurek46pink]

oui et non - lol !

[paulism1984]

@Marjo131000 do you? lol

[DytjeSaurr]

@Marjo131000 * Comprenez-vous*

[CYRAPHYM]

BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, ARTIST, SINGER,,,

[boycamioz]

She is a master, a genius, a diva!

[nulifeagain]

dont know much about this lady except that her voice was beautiful...heard that she sang with some type of accent? (also heard that she wasnt even french) why was she so special as a celebrity? as an artist, obviously her voice, but i heard she was a notorious type? just curious...thanks in advance

[jurek46pink]

Edith Piaf - one of the GREATEST French artists of 20th century.

By putting her name into google hundreds of information may be received.

[TheBlackSunOrbit]

@jurek46pink

there is an amazing movie about her!!!

[anaturalcastrati]

You've probably just insulted the whole French nation by claiming one of their greatest icons and popular singers of the 20th century was not French. She was indeed very French albeit like most others in Europe her descent was mixed over a number of generation. Born in Paris 1915, died in Plascassier 1963. On the day of her funeral hundreds of thousands of people lined the streets of Paris, traffic came to a stand still, to bid her farewell. She is buried at Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.

[dia33386]

nulifeagain: Piaf was born Edith Gassion in Paris. While her father was french, her mother (who never gave a whit for her) was of italian/Berber descent. And she was notorious for her outspoken & oft times profane language. She spoke & often sang using an argot/jargon version of french she knew growing up in the lower class Belleville area of Paris.

Her VOICE is what makes her famous then, now & forever. Incomparable!

[bennysheltie]

Interesting that she's a quarter Berber...you can almost hear it her ease of those minor runs...mountain...

[Etheline]

If I'm not mistaken her parents had different then french roots, but I don't dare which ones, I will check properly, but she was born in Paris... I guess she was *patriotic* about Paris :-)

[cheychey1987]

She started out as nothing. A street performer who grew up in a brothel and became a sensational national icon. The fact that she was able to make such an impact in such a short amount of time *comparatively speaking* is how she became so famous. If you ever have a chance to watch "La Vie en Rose" I highly suggest you do it. It's an amazing movie. :)

[ThisIsNotMia]

I'm American and I found that offensive, though I know you're just curious

[papertiger34]

She was as French and Parisian as they come :-) Having Italian or even Berber ancestry is (and was) not so rare in France. I think that by the same yardstick (one of the parents having some foreign heritage), almost none of the American cultural or scientific icons are "really" American. Of course they are, my point is that such discussions are sily.

[nulifeagain]

you're entitled to your opinion as i am to mine, and we're also entitled to comment on each others opinion and here is my comment to yours: When you admire someone, finding out about their ancestry only makes them more interesting. I don't think that it's "silly" to be curious about E.P.'s ancestry but you obviously think that and it's ok. Thanks for answering though because I was curious about her.

[judithbrandl]

@nulifeagain I'm hungarian and agree what jurek47pink answered she was the greatest,a legend and never going to be anybody like her.Your interest is so american.At the time the word celebrity wasn't invented,people didn't show that much interest in a artist private life.We celebrated her woice and talent,her interpretation of human filings.She wasn,t any type,she was the only one,unforgetteble.

[nulifeagain]

@judithbrandl your intertest in answering my question is so useless...thanks anyway

[archana111]

C'est excellent !!

j'adore edith piaf

[yuttamakun]

ステキすぎる。。

[dumowska]

czy Pan ma oryginalną tę płytę?

[LithikRob]

Hey, thanks so much for putting this up. Je ne veux... is a fucking amazing song. Been listening to this playlist all morning.

[kabukinami]

[mcillyrian]

Simply Amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[amizapupa]

que hermoso video te amo edit piaf

[blaugrun67]

Da war sie erst 21.. und zeigte schon viel von ihrem Können und Genie.. ein ruhiger, feiner Song

[clo12clo]

La version de Damia est plus "vécue", plus intense, mais celle d'Edith Piaf se laisse écouter.

[heavensound78]

gracias por tan hermoswos video son lo maximo

[shazam15]

every one should go watch the edith piaf and marion cotillard side by side video. she did such a good job channeling edith.

[piafedith10]

I definitely prefer Piaf's version!

[dybbuk4640]

quelle couer

[piafedith]

Thank you! Great song!!!

[Kuwaiti8]

[phantom1106]

favorite song by her.

[piafedith]

[blaugrun67]

Edith "Piaf" Gassion forever!

[Irenextreme]

You`re very welcome !!

[Irenextreme]

As a big admirer of Edith Piaf for many years,

I prefer her version of this song!

And I love your other videos of her very much too!!

[jurek46pink]

I think I understand. For me both are moving. Imagine: I was uploading it yesterday and this melody has been

following me from that moment.

Thanks = Merci !

[edith5645]

Do you have videous with a young Edith?

[jurek46pink]

I have the access to these items which are here on You Tube. I have just looked into that site about Edith which is under your name: FABULOUS ! I have found there a lot of photos unknown to me so far; and what is more for me important - her sheet music. Thank you.

[edith5645]

I have this song in different executions: Edith Piaf, Damia, Annette Lajon!

I think that Edith is a best

[jurek46pink]

I know, you LOVE her...:-)

[edith5645]

I love this song!

[jurek46pink]

Ja toże !

Spasiba...:-)

[kspm01]

Both interpretations are excellent, but I fully second your remarks made in the liner notes about Damia's and Piaf's respective artistic personality and approach.
