Jane Morgan - Under Paris Skies

[afalseidentity]

It would be interesting to live in Europe 60-40 years ago... I like both this music and this style.

I love the Jane Morgan version. There is an interesting disjuncture between the French original and English translation. To the Anglophone ear the song is ominous, about cruel fate. Almost a funeral song. Hence the lyrics. But the original is really a celebration of the variety and eternal youth of Paris...always the heart of a lad.

OMG! Flying fannys! This is great vid, and Jane is such a toots!, what a beautiful voice and countenance! She chose the high road and stayed away from Hollywood and honed her skills and style being the toast of Europe in the early 60s, good for her. Yeah, she might have been unfavorably seen as another Jane Mansfield with a better voice had she allowed herself to be exploited by Tinsel Town. Nice lady, but man...again, she is just smokin' hot...OOoooo!

Sous le ciel de Paris S'envole une chanson Hum Hum Elle est née d'aujourd'hui Dans le cœur d'un garçon Sous le ciel de Paris Marchent des amoureux Hum Hum Leur bonheur se construit Sur un air fait pour eux

[myopicchiwawa]

Sous le pont de Bercy

Un philosophe assis

Deux musiciens quelques badauds

Puis les gens par milliers

Sous le ciel de Paris

Jusqu'au soir vont chanter

Hum Hum

L'hymne d'un peuple épris

De sa vieille cité

[myopicchiwawa]

Près de Notre Dame Parfois couve un drame Oui mais à Paname Tout peut s'arranger Quelques rayons Du ciel d'été L'accordéon D'un marinier L'espoir fleurit Au ciel de Paris

[myopicchiwawa]

BTW the English version is NOT a translation of the French original
