Kate and Anna McGarrigle: Petite Annonce

[ccdg1066]

SO many Great songs and wonderful harmonies for the voices and instruments from The Mcgarrigle Sisters... I've come to appreciate their work more than ever. Big Thanks for the upload!

[daeusto]

Heaven.

[moumoumoume]

J'aime tellement les Mc Garrigles, avec leur signature musicale humble,racée et authentique.Merci beaucoup

a la personne qui a su immortaliser leurs prestations,votre générosité est tres appréciée.

[tinmiloutin]

Kate me manque... cette chanson me fait sourire et pensant à ces deux soeur si charmantes!

[russtacean]

So truly beautiful and all the more poignant in perspective...

[africanish1]

thumbs up !

[pimpernet]

Please, please, please bring out "Pronto Monto" on CD, now is the time..!

[cbgbomfugrip2006]

MY mother died, she was 85 katie died no, she's too young

[drwelts]

can anyone figure out the time signature used in this lovly peice of music?

[oaubert]

@drwelts Touché, j'ai tenté d'y voir après avoir lu ton commentaire et je dois avouer que c'est médusant.

[spongebobnik]

@drwelts Four-four. Four beats to the measure. Those beats are divided into quarters, eighths, etc... in the song.

[drwelts]

@spongebobnik

Count again my friend, but this time all the way through- it certainly starts in four but there are many measures of 3, some of 5. some of 7

[labora4best]

Another proof if needed, why we runaway from girlpowercrazies, industrial managers, hot bimbo's...and other atrocities and are so ready to give our love and respect to a woman that just is a woman! And sings like a woman!

[hagst27]

"J'en ai assez d'être seul chez moi

ça me crève le coeur et puis le foie

j'éloigne les chiens j'effraye les chats

je fais peur aux petits enfants..."

Tant de drôlerie et d'émotion en même temps.

Elles donnent envie de sourire avec des larmes.

[GollyGeeGeeWhiz]

Will miss Kate, of course...but, so glad to have the videos. Such truly wonderful talents and souls.

[francecastel1]

Le 18 janvier 2010, je me suis couché à 21h00 en écoutant l'album La vache qui pleure. À 21h45, le disque s'est terminé, Kate s'est éteint. Chaque fois que j'entend Petite annonce amoureuse, je pense à cet instant. Kate me manque....Anna aussi!

[Chemicaltonn]

Malgré ma jeunesse, j'ai toujours apprécié les Mc Garrigle grâce à ma mère qui vous à toujours bien aimé.

merci à vous et courage à Anna xox

Petite Annonce par les soeurs McGarrigle

February 6, 1946 January 18, 2010

Au revoir Kate le merci pour les cadeaux vous nous avez donné

Reste dans la paix. nous vous manquerons

We will miss you

[5350drolet]

Très bon ;-)

Part 3: I've had enough of being alone at home It breaks the heart then one's faith (the word for "faith" and "liver" are pronounced the same way) Dogs stay away from me and I terrify cats, I scare small children I only smoke good tobacco I like mice but I hate rates On two, three or four legs villain or aristocrat Whoever advertises will be answered Whoever asks will be rewarded

[translatethisnow1]

My mistake: The line is "liver" and not "faith".

So the second line is:

"It breaks the heart and then the liver."

(She says "le foie" which is liver, not "la foi", which is faith. I guess that's the joke).

[daeusto]

Thank you for the help.. They are the best.

[marielbisk]

can't understand a word they are saying but love it. beautiful harmony as usual.

[rwav1]

... les voir rigoler en coin rend la disparition de Kate encore plus triste puisque cette complicité n'existera plus. RIP Kate McGarrigle. Oui, les funérailles étaient très émouvantes.

[rwav1]

J'adore cette chanson. C'est du McGarrigle tout craché: une belle mélodie, un texte doucement ironique, une chanson trompeusement simple qui s'écoute toute seule tellement elle est bien faite.

[tinmiloutin]

Je suis allé aux funérailles de Kate lundi. Quel respect pour cette grande dame! Kate, tu vas nous manquer... Merci pour ta musique et pour Martha et Rufus que tu nous laisses!

[50davebourque]

Merci Kate, du fonds du coeur, pour toute la joie que tu nous as apportée!

[5350drolet]

merci .

[vincentets]

Worst song i've ever heard.

[himarx]

Devastated and heartbroken only begin to describe my initial response to the sad news of Kate's passing. All we have left is her music and her memory for us to ponder.

[windrose777]

Just heard the sad news:( Prayers and love to family. Just know how much she enriched my own life.

[Marieflorre]

How to musically construct a song 101.

(part 3) I'm tired to be alone in my home It makes one's heart suffer (his liver too) Dogs move away from me Cats are scared of me Children are afraid of me I only smoke good tobacco I love mices, I hate rats With 2, 3 or 4 legs Villains or aristocrats Whoever posts will be answered Whoever asks will be rewarded X2

The Little Posting (part 1)

I'm looking for a 5 foot 3 man

I'm not king's daughter

Whether it works or it does'nt

Answer me please

Whoever pots will be answered

Whoever asks will be rewarded

Whoever pots will be answered

Whoever asks will be rewarded

[translatethisnow1]

The singer says she's not a "Fille du Roi", or "King's Daughter." The term "Fille du Roi" was used by the French colonial authorities in the 17th and 18th century, when the colony of New France had too few women. They were women of lowly birth, often orphans, who were sponsored by the crown to settle in New France and increase the population. The urban legend is that many had been prostitutes. (They weren't)

Hence the singer's protest: I may be only 5 foot 3, but at least I'm no Fille du Roi....

[translatethisnow1]

Sorry, what I meant to say is, she sings "I'm looking for a man who is 5 foot 3, and I'm no fille du roi."

[Chemicaltonn]

@translatethisnow1 Une fille du roi: During the french occupation of the Nouvelle-France, '' les filles du roi'' was some women from France imigrated here on the order of the French king. He tried to populated the Nouvelle-France cause the New-England was so much populated. But the legend say then les filles du roi was in reality girls with problem in France so the king prefer to ship her in the colonie. Sorry, my english is not my best quality ;o)

[grondinca1]

@Chemicaltonn "French occupation of Nouvelle France"? French colony OF Nouvelle France is more accurate. ;-) French occupation of Native Americans or English occupation of New France perhaps more accurate... Your english is fine!

[parpaillot1957]

Adieu Kathe! Merci pour toute cette belle musique!

(Kathe McGarrigaleest décédée à Montréal le 19 janvier 2010.

[mauriciodelalba]

Their placing an ad for a lover.

[snowbabiesthe]

Thank you for that.

Doesnt this song have a lovely feel.

I just want to leap around & sing at the top of my voice!

[daeusto]

I love the McGarrigles so much..they are angels.

[gxtthebest]

Chanson qui s'apparante avec Robert Charlebois avec 'Madame Bertrand'

Très bien réunssi!!

[bellafedex]

Really delightful. Makes me feel so good, this song. One of my favorites.

[Chastalard]

Rufus Wainwright's mom & aunt...and so beautiful, I've loved their songs forever & a day. Thanks so much...by the way, does anyone have them singing 'Excursion A Venise'? It's beautiful.

[marky251164]

If their music isn't some of the best and most uplifting you can find I don't know what is. I've been a fan for 20 years and like it more every time I hear it.

Thank you for the music!

[coraildemer]

The original version by Chloe Ste-Marie is much better I think.

[donotreply]

Actually, THIS is the original version.

[coraildemer]

the remix then...

[xfaiiry]

Merci à Réal G.(CN) et Carole P.pour m'avoir fait d'écouvrir les Soeurs McGarrigle au début des années '80 à Chertsey.Même si je suis un accros du Métal(Zeppelin,Rammstein etc),j'aime bien me faire berçer les oreilles par elles.C'est un scandale de ne pas les entendres à la radio!

[bluesuperbug]

[martifingers]

Fabulous video- is the humour typical Canadian I wonder. And the moral seems to be ... we are all beautiful.

[sanebok]

[GabeinFairfax]

Thanks for posting! This a great song, from their La Vache Qui Pleure CD, all in French (except for one song). It is definitely worth tracking down. Are there any more videos from this CD?

[donotreply]
