[kabeasta]

I love this song, and your cover, but having a REALLY tough time with learning the ukulele!

[Ukuleleric]

@kabeasta, hiya mate, thanks so much. re the uke, hang on in there, it really is the simplest of instruments. Unfortunately it's down to that old axiom: 'Practice makes perfect.' It'll come. Take care, Eric.

[TheQuantistic]

[Ukuleleric]

@TheQuantistic, lol, cheers mate, take care, Eric.

[Rachegotter]

Il y aurait donc une poignée d'English intéressants...

[jimkanuk]

@Rachegotter y en a plus que tu crois ... c'est fou comme le monde est parfois sans allure a dire des conneries de ce genre!...sans autre commentaire .

[Rachegotter]

@jimkanuk Je revendique le droit de ne pas aimer les Anglais. Et que ceux qui m'en veulent de ne pas aimer tout le monde aillent se faire secouer le sapin. Même en plein été, ça leur fera toujours du bien.

[Ukuleleric]

@Rachegotter, hello, sorry, I don't speak French, just sing in it, lol. Thanks so much for posting though. Best, Eric.

[FeFLeBougre]

[soulacsurmer]

Eric, vous parlez Francais ????

[Ukuleleric]

soulacsurmer, hi Claudia, non, I'm afraid, I learnt it phonetically. Hey, I've just seen your baby vids. Big congrats. He/she is lovely. Whatever happens in the world life goes on. Lots of happiness, Eric.

[soulacsurmer]

You sound very good singing French though. Riley is my grandson actually. And thanks for the congrats :)

happiness to you too.

[Ukuleleric]

soulacsurmer, hi Claudia, I've just twigged. Riley, I guess that's a boy's name? Best, Eric.

[soulacsurmer]

Yes, Riley is a boy. But what does it mean "twigged" ?

[Ukuleleric]

musique2a, bonjour Jean-Hughes, merci beaucoup. I checked out your vids, formidable!! Best, Eric.

[desolationmattie]

Thank you for sharing your creativity! Please excuse the fact that I can't write to you in French; I studied Spanish in high school...

[Ukuleleric]

desolationmattie, hiya Mike, thanks for posting your lovely comment. Actually I don't speak French either, I learnt the song phonetically. Take care, best, Eric.

[JubalCalif]

Even though I don't speak French, this is one of my favorite songs. The melody puts me in another world. Very good job! Well done, sir!

[Ukuleleric]

Hi JubalCalif , aw, thanks so much. Personally, I've always preferred the original version in French sung by its writer Charles Trenet, to the English, 'Somewhere, beyond the Sea'. Take care, Eric.

[dreambreakers38]

les dream breakers t'aiment !

[GiovanniStallonegger]

Não entendo pôrra nenhuma de francês mas o ritimo é legal e ficou boa na voz do bigodão ai... parabens... Saludos desde Brasil

[Ukuleleric]

Hi GiovanniStallonegger, obrigado muito, take care, Eric.

[splanky87]

[Ukuleleric]

Hi splanky87, thanks so much chum. If it's any consolation I actually don't speak French, maybe one or two words only. I learnt this song phonetically. What a wheeze. Take care, Eric.

[frank62D]

Very good! Très bien! Charles Trenet n'est pas mort!

Perhaps you are interested in my way singing this song and playing the accordion. Salut! Frank

[Ukuleleric]

frank62D, hi Frank, thank you so much, I'll check it out, best, Eric.

[fonhonhoxk]

Hi Ukuleleric, you are really a big artist, i like your videos, your interpretation and performance are very good, i cant speak more because i am brazilian, and dont have a good english to talk. You are better than a lot of other "artists", who dont have your joy and capacity. From your fan, César

[Ukuleleric]

fonhonhoxk, hi Cesar, aw, thank you so much, that's very kind. Take care now, all the best, Eric.

Well well I live in Asia (I'm not allowed to say which part) and I know this french: Jemapelle si Nicky! :) and Comon tuta pelle? (if that's how you spell it) and the usual bonjour, merciboku etc. (my spelling is off.)

[Ukuleleric]

Hi CrazedPogostik, or is it Nicky? Thanks for posting. Actually, I don't speak French and am guessing that your name is Nicky. All the best, Eric.

[cyprus2005]

Lol! It is my name :) I love your songs they're so funny!!

Le bon travail, Eric. Je l'aime beaucoup.

My French is not very good. Hopefully, that read something like:

Great job, Eric. I like it a lot.

:)

[Ukuleleric]

Hi vmusicvela, merci beaucoup, that's about all the French I know. Thanks very much chum, best, Eric.

[putzfrauinvenedig]
