France Gall - Rue de l'abricot (1968) HD 720p

[JSabini]

Je t'aime, France Gall...

[princebleu79]

J'adore cette chanson, sans doute ma préférée de France Gall.

[JPandCo]

Hold on... could ths beautiful girl in minute 0:49 be Patricia Paulin? The other and less known but greater-in-voice Berger girl?

[jeanleto2]

@JPandCo Yes! looking into it, it is! left to right: Patricia Paulin [aka Patricia or Jenny Naska], Sheila, France Gall. You have a keen eye!

[sefhur]

j'adore. je me demande comment cette chanson ne s'est pas devenu aussi celebre que ses autres

[torridscene]

Belle Chanson. Paroles merveilleuses. I enjoy the 1968-- 1970 period of France Gall. The very last Philips recordings and then other labels (AZ, etc.). A lot of serious songs, (like this one, L'Hiver Est Mort, Les Quatres Elements,) as well as some of her German songs from that period are wonderful. Also, her second-to-last Gainsbourg song, Les Petits Ballons, is from this period -- great! But alas, this part of France Gall's career is so overlooked. Why? : post-yéyé, pre-Berger, that's why.

[jeanleto2]

@torridscene Merci pour ce commentaire très étayé. From the in-between Gall' s period — post-Philips, pre-Berger — what she recorded on "La Compagnie" label, stands out, IMHO.

[JPandCo]

@torridscene, I also prefer her serious songs... with more profound lyrics (:

[PetraNova1]

Hello jeanleto2.  I don't think you will remember me, but I was the person (anastasiapetranova) who requested this song from you, and you were kind enough to upload it. Thank you again. I will always appreciate what you did for me. This is my favorite song from France Gall, and I listen to it often. : )

[fczlatan]

@PetraNova1 i thought i was the only one who had this song as their favourite :), good to know i'm not!

[PetraNova1]

@fczlatan Les Sucettes used to be my favorite song of hers until I became old enough to discover the double meaning behind the lyrics. :P LOL!

[fczlatan]

@PetraNova1 omg yes!, pretty much the same. Since discovering what Gainsbourg done i never really liked it :(, it's a shame.

[soirdorage5]

Quelle jolie frimousse !

[soirdorage]

Quelle jolie salade de fruits!

[soirdorage]

Merci pour cette chanson originale,pleine de fraicheur que j'écoutais lorsque j'étais ado!

[scarolemongole]

l'abricot... les filles en ont un et les garçons, un zizi?

[jeanleto]

Si on veut, mais je ne crois pas que c'était l'intention des auteurs. Je suis peut-être naïf. Il y a quand même cet phrase qui sème le doute : «Pauvre garçon triste Pauvre figuier stérile» ;~)

[vieuxson]

@scarolemongole je me demande si la aussi il n y a pas un double sens :comme pour dans la chanson les sucettes a l anis

[tychaton08]

Merci!

[tsaisisbuying]

goddess.

Jerry Tsai is buying

[Aheoros]

What ??

[jeanleto2]

thought you requested an English or Spanish translation of the lyrics ! Sorry !

[TVGuido]

Thanks! I think French artists are under appreciated simply because they don't sing in English and thus North American and UK media don't give them the respect that is their's.

[jeanleto2]

I tink the French yeah-yeah girls had more prestige in the sixties. First lots of them were singing in different languages. Also there was some prestige coming from the well appreciated French cinema with actresses such as Brigitte Bardot, Françoise Hardy, Jane Birkin and MIreille Darc deflected to the pop music. There are still some pursuing two careers simultaneously but not as many [Vanessa Paradis, Charlotte Gainsbourg].

[tc1991t9]

@TVGuido i think thats a terrible reason. LMAO. "its good because they dont speak english" Or perhaps because its just good art! I would invest french lessons and find out what shes talking about before you presume the music good! For all you know she could be calling you a moose.

[jeanleto2]

You, with your peach complexion Your mouth in cherry And your taste of grapes You, with your laughter of fresh water Your clementine heat You live in a garden And I will stay tomorrow Our love will be beautiful In the deeps of your garden At 3 Apricot Road Apricot Road Apricot Road

[jeanleto2]

Poor sad boy

Gardener of winter

Poor greenhouse plant

You have an empty heart

You do not see the sky

You cry for sun

In the trash bottom

In my arms of love

You whisper me

I love you and I want you

[jeanleto2]

You, with your peach complexion

Your mouth in cherry

And your taste of grapes

You, with your laughter of fresh water

Your clementine heat

You live in a garden

At 3 Apricot Road

Apricot Road

[jeanleto2]

Poor sad boy

Prisoner of the city

Poor sterile fig tree

Poor sad boy

Overwhelmed by noise

Suffocated by boredom

You can't take your eyes off me

You pell off my skin

Your desire eats me

And you tell me those words

[Aheoros]

A momo si vous plait ¡¡

In Spanish or English, Please ¡¡

[jeanleto2]

A quick and dirty English translation.

[astralhed]

what an amazing song and beautiful vid

[jeanleto2]

Nice to hear from you ! I am quite busy right now, but some more to come for sure. Thanx again !

[SonjaLiebtDieBlumen]

Wunderbar! Ich mag es sehr viel.

[jeanleto2]

Google translation : Wunderbar! I like it very much.

Well thanks, Merci beaucoup !

[anastasiapetranova]

[claude1943]

Aaaaar! J'ajouterai celles à 0' 00, 0' 55", 1' 40, 1' 50 (et puis toutes les autres... sauf celle à 3' 04") Mmm ! Un régal pour les images et puis, j'avoue que j'adore cette chanson.

Dis m'sieur Jean, tu pourrais faire un zoom plus lent que je puisses te piquer les images avec la touche impression écran ?!

Non, je dis des bêtises, je les ai.

* * * * *

[jeanleto2]

Petit rigolo, va ! ;~)

[jeanleto2]

Bon, finalement, je viens de comprendre! 3:04 qui devait être 2:33, merci Claude !

[claude1943]

Bon, alors là, je suis d'accord avec toi... l'effet du froid sur les neurones... c'est terrible !

[helenebou]

Vraiment super, j'adore !! merci

[mauvetys]

J'attendais cette vidéo ( refaite il me semble).

J'adore les images à 0:34 et à 2:23.

C'est très joliment fait.

[jeanleto2]

Refaite nécessairement pour s'adapter au format HD 16x9. En plus la résolution est de 1280x720 ! La qualité de certaines images n'est pas à la hauteur, malheureusement. Tout à fait d'accord avec votre choix d'images auquel j'ajouterais 3:04.

[jeanleto2]

Merci !
