My dad used to sing this song to me long long time ago:

" В музыке она была каприччио, в скульптуре статуэтка ренессанс. От всех у ней было какое-то отличие - Мадам Лулу, Бульвар Де Франс."

Pierwszy wykonał tę piosenkę autor jej słów, Konrad Tom. Było to w 1919 roku. Powtórzył ja potem podczas jubileuszu "Qui Pro Quo" w roku 1929, ale wówczas, gdy w Polsce zaczęła się obyczajowa rewolucja - ten tekst nie brzmiał już tak pikantnie jak dekadę wcześniej. Swoją drogą - jacy wrażliwi byli wówczas ludzie - jeśli ekscytowały ich tak niewinnie DLA NAS dziś brzmiące teksty...

This sentimental melody evokes...Vienna!

I vaguely remember, though, reading about a small chic enclave in the Old City of Warsaw, slightly south of the Jewish quarter, that included the Alley of Roses. No idea why it stuck in my mind. I guess it's the one referred to in the song.

@dzheger Lovely Master of Art... Alley of Roses and Jewish Quarter in Warsaw??? Come in Warsaw and buy a city quide, and then write... Maybe you think jewish communist in Alley of Roses after WW2??? Yes, they was here.

Another beautiful Aston performance; somehow he always sounds both melancholy and highly romantic, a voice from another world which can easily be experienced in this world. And I don't mean ghostly, almost spiritual. By the way, I assume the word evergreen means a Polish cabaret classic?
