Kate Bush - Ne t'enfuis pas

[AjrimmerMr]

This is one of my favourite Kate Bush songs. Mesmerising and beautiful.

[2020vision100]

I cant believe how much I love this song . Is Mick Karn playing the bass?



[Symphonyofflowers]

@2020vision100 No, it wasn't Mick Karn. I haven't found any credits for this song, but it was most likely Del Palmer on bass. Mick Karn has only played with Kate on the live version of "The Wedding List" from 1982 and on "Heads, We're Dancing" from 1989.

[2020vision100]

@Symphonyofflowers Thankyou.

[iown813]

@2020vision100 it was Del Palmer. I have the single

[Jay41]

Her voice is sooo fucking beautiful.....this song made me wet.

[OZGUR1208]

c est quoi cette musik d israelien !!!! bandee de fils de pute male cramer !!!

[joezjoezjoez1]

Lov this:)

[SmoookeMyBooones]

Kate should've had released more stuff in French if you ask me! This is just incredibly sexy and one of my favorite singles.

[glasto93]

i've got this single, is it worth much?

[Symphonyofflowers]

@glasto93 Probably, but I don't know how much. You could try the Record Collector magazine and see if they can help you.

[madmiask]

Je ne savais pas qu'elle avait fait des chansons en français ; celle-ci est sympa.

[Katefanforever]

@madmiask.Kate a fait cette chanson et "Un Baiser d'Enfant",la version française de "The Infant Kiss".

[XIIINXIV]

Le Français s'intègre bien avec l'esprit de cette chanson, je ne sais pas pourquoi... Elle devrait chanter plus souvent en Français, en plus ça lui va bien.

[haunter77]

Kate Bush singing in French - amazing mix!

[07CutePrincess07]

beautiful! très belle chanson! =)

[FinalWish7]

Love everything this woman does!!! Just wondering though... is this song understandable to a native speaker? How's her accent?

[Inyourlap]

@FinalWish7

I remember the song when it was released in France and although it achieved a modest success, I heard it quite often. I was very young then and what I loved about the track is that I wasn't sure what she was saying and that most of the sentences could have two or three meanings depending on what I understood: "if the great eyes of my God were not keeping me, I would steal you away" became "if the great eyes of great Gods were not watching me, I would talk to you".

[Inyourlap]

@FinalWish7

So her French is quite good and I can understand most of the lyrics but I guess it must not be always easy for a native English speaker to understand all the lyrics sings in English. Her voice is very soft and haunting and fits perfectly the drums and the bass. I adore this track, the production is flawless.

[altar7]

@FinalWish7 Definitely understandable, though not perfect obviously. She must have worked for this.

[LEOBH1970]

Quelle belle surprise découvrir à Kate Bush en chantant en français. Je ne oublierai jamais la chance que j’ai eue quand j’ai trouvé le Box Set à la FNAC il y a plus de 10 années.

[jon3m2007]

French isn't my forte - Does this mean dont let time pass you by? - I think its smoot like that - Beautiful!

[Symphonyofflowers]

@jon3m2007 No, if you're thinking of the title it means "Don't fly away".

[olivivol]

@jon3m2007 As a French, I can't understand all the lyrics ! But indeed "don't fly away" is a good translation for it seems to be a meeting between a cat and a bird, guess who says "ne t'enfuis pas !" ...

[ajittffcure]

Tres bien. J'aime Kate Bush. Elle est une avant-garde artiste.

[TruthofDilly]

Kate Bush = Beautiful Creative Goddess. She never fails to move me. Thanks for posting. x

[MissNeverForEver]

Does anyone know were you can find 'Un baiser d'enfant'?

[Symphonyofflowers]

@MissNeverForEver You can find it on the "This Woman's Work" box set.

[Aufnahmesfreiheit]

browse "matia bazar treno blu" and listen isn' t it weirdly reminding? the songs are from the same year

[TotalOverdoseGuru]

KATE BUSH 4 EVER!

[jaybird321]

[Symphonyofflowers]

[Katefanforever]

@Symphonyofflowers.I'm French and I would be really happy to teach Kate to speak French!

[JupiterGirl01]

[kissmyyellowbutt]

[DebbyTessy]

Super!

[key2kingdom]

Great post, thank you. The pics are terrific, especially the drawing of Kate with the cat - most appropriate for the song!

[sylvanhart]

Thankyou for adding the translated lyrics. This has always been one of my favourite KB songs yet the one I know least about.

Sounds like Mick Karn on bass, does anybody know if it is?

[RockHordes]

j'ai longtemps cherché le SP / 45T pour compléter ma collection à l'époque...

Kate Bush est unique !

metalliquement, RockHordes

[amourchoulove]

la plus belle chanson du monde..

[tadge72]

this wasnt released officially in france- it was released illegally and EMi recalled it.

[wigginsdesign]

Listening & viewing to many clips back to back has kept me in tears of bliss. Kate is simply indescribable in words. Her music, voice , style, and beauty are so captivating on so many levels.

[TruthofDilly]

@wigginsdesign - Totally agree with you. Have you heard "Come closer to me babe"? First time I heard it I was in fits of tears for hours but just had to keep playing it, it's so beautiful and now one of my fave songs ever. Shes a rare soul, thank goodness for Kate Bush. x x

[crunkypickles]

Ahhh I love this song. It brings back such lovely, bittersweet memories. My gay friend introduced me to her and I was SO IN LOVE with him (yes, that was an effort in futility), but I still love Kate Bush! ;)

[pascalbellut]
