A la Claire Fontaine

[fisherbouy]

this is one of the best movies and one of the best songs for me!!! congratulations to all those who are behind it.. words aren't enough to express how i felt about this movie and song..

[gauchatche]

BEAUTIFUL SONG!

[10skylark]

The audio is very low and would be better if louder, anyone else experience this?

[Magnetsinmyback]

a la claire fontaune, men allant promener jai trouve Leau si belle que je my suis baigne II y a longtemps que je taime jamais je ne toublierai

[lorenzschuerch]

@kinyo88 Everyone thinks the friend is feminine, it's not, the friend in the song is a guy. "J'ai perdu mon ami pour un bouquet de roses que je lui refusais" she just sings it with a long i. Trust me I grew up singing the song lol

[LittleBabySugar]

J'aime cette chanson. C'est si beau mais ce film a fait me pleurer. Je ne pleure jamais pendant les films qu'il a supposé pour m'aider avec mon image ou quelque chose mais j'ai renoncé dessus juste pour cette nuit que mon ami a été choqué mais heureux que j'aie eu le pouvoir pour pleurer. Je l'aime!!!!!

[Medracin]

I love this song. My mum is French, and watching this movie along with this song which she'd heard so much during her childhood made her cry sooo much. It was as if I'd just shoved an onion in front of her face.

[IloveSirLancelot]

I remember sitting down to watch this movie being like, "well, even if the ending is sad I can handle it" and then by the end I was just sitting there staring at the screen crying while the credits rolled... haha so much for my brief feminist rebellion...

[elisaloba]

chante rossignol, il y a longtemps que je t´aime jamais je ne t´oublierais, je voudrais que la rose...à la claire fontaine m´en allant promener, j´ai trouvé l´eau si belle que je m´y suis baignée, sur les feuilles d´un chêne...nostalgie pure.

[neftalireyes8]

It would've been nice if Norton and Watts had gotten together after filming the movie, it would've, at least to me, made the death of norton's character redeemable, rather than Watts and Schrieber, though I'm uncertain about whether they met before the film project, or whether they got together because of it.

[undinepietrzak]

They were together a while before the film (since 2005) and Edward Norton was in a relationship too.

I know what you mean though, it would've been cute.

[Civitatuccillo]

Can someone give a brief English Translation of the words? This song is very nice

[VersusMomoro]

wow je t'aime cette chasson bcp

[jadawin10]

"A la claire fontaine"

Everybody in the french speaking countries knows that tune. Its a traditional french song of the 18th.

Many versions of this song are on YouTube

I had to watch this film...

[abby850]

T_T movies like this make falling in love scary lol

Really bittersweet film.

[lafilledebeatles3]

falling in love is a bit scary...

[abby850]

indeed

[sarcasticmania]

i know this song since i was in the fifth grade..we danced to it in the school's carnaval...

it has been in my head ever since....

it reminds me of my ex :'(

*violet sky*

j'adore vraiment:(

[bparacana]

Can anyone send it to me?

[osita8427]

All the soundtrack of this movie it's fantastic and the movie so sad and amazing

[Uchinari]

I cried like a baby when I watched this movie! And my heart strings were really tugged at when Tei-Ming (sp?) was putting Walter's things up and Kitty stopped her and started laying them back out, and then in the next shot, you see that she had broken down in tears. Very bittersweet.

[Snowic]

So sad!I liked this movie!How the love can change a person!

[Mimameior]

This isn't the end, is it? What's happened to the final scene back in England?

[sfgsfhsfh]

Nothing. The scene in England doesn't play this song though.

[maddynguyen]

i love this movie so much

[Ukka68]

beautiful movie with a wonderful soundtrack!

[xmoonrabbitx]

The closest song of I've found is sung by Laure Shang on iTunes (A La Claire Fount Aine") The piano sounds a bit louder on the track then it does in the movie and there are not children singing in the courous, but other then that it sounds pretty close...

[8lu37hRoTtle]

this song with this scene made this movie for me.... its a great song

[WhySoGr33n]

i love this movie...

[spoiler?] why couldnt walter and kitty live happily ever after? walter was ideal...kitty was selfish and petty but found redemption overall. this song is perfect. tragically perfect.

[katsklaw]

I think they tried to make it more realistic. As much as I'd love the perfect fairy tale ending, it isn't very impossible for both of them to get out of the cholera epidemic.

[ArtGal216]

WhySoGr33n; I think it made the movie even better. I don't know how to explain it, but it just made it seem more real. It's not like some ordinary romantic movie, it's realistic and alot of the time that's how life is. It's always nice to have the "Happily ever after", but that's not how life is and it made me love it even more.

[xakura101]

i dont like this movie. too sad

[nana89london]

could someone translate lyrics into english

[onlysaneoneleft]

The refrain is bittersweet: "It's been a long time that I've loved you; never will I forget you." The soft repetition is just lovely--this part made me sob.

[lindendrafts]

At the clear fountain,

While I was strolling by,

I found the water so nice

That I went in to bathe.

So long I've been loving you,

I will never forget you.

Under an oak tree,

I dried myself.

On the highest branch,

A nightingale was singing.

[alinacamelia2007]

this scene was so touching that it made me cry :( the song is so beautiful

i loved this movie :]

[byoblu]

This is really really touching from the deep bottom of my heart

[ribellina7]

[chirsbrownswife4life]

[zazoulp4ever]

[suelenperes]

Simplesmente linda e o filme é uma belíssima lição de amor, sem falar nas paisagens!

[jktoooo]

so sad.....one of the best movies i've seen in a long time. ed norton and naomi campbell were very impressive! this scene always makes me sad.

[srflaxu40]

this is the saddest song i've ever heard... just listening to it and knowing the lyrics kills me inside...

[torn8686]
