Rina Ketty - Nuits sans toi (tango chanté) 1939

[MarilynHorowitz]

This is the most beautiful tango, and the lyrics so perfectly sum up that feeling of loss.

[MISSFLORENCE1]

Bel enregistrement, sans grésillements ! ! ! Grand merci pour écouter cette voix divine de Rina Ketty !

[stefalbert]

[slobomotion]

"Nights Without You," it means, spoken in informal tone

[clodina54]

Je te remercie d'avoir partagé avec nous tous ces trésors de la musique française! Cela permet a mon mari (Israëlien) de connaître le beau côté de la culture populaire française!

Je ne connaissais pas

Merci pour cette jolie chanson

J'aime sa voix...

[frereslumiere]

Without you, after days like rays of the sun

In vain I try to sleep

Without you, how many sad nights Ive had

Come back, come back close to me

What does it matter how the stars shine, those stars of gold and amber

Without you the sky is grey

It's always December

In my room the star of fortune pales, and nothing can console

My heart!

[nadia59]

[nativodelsol]

Greetings.

I´m from Argentina.Unfortunately it is very difficult to find this kind of music here.I hope I could visit Europe some day.Meanwhile I will listen to it though my dreams are in the other side of the ocean.Thanks a lot for uploading this excellent piece, it is the only way for me to listen to her eternal voice....

[hassony3]

Thirty years ago I was in Amsterdam waiting to board the "Stefan Batory" for Montréal. Walking around (on a Sunday) I discovered a little closed record shop. They had an LP album in the window with this gorgeous woman, Rina Ketty. I have dreamed of her ever since. Now thanks to YouTube I have discovered her. How wonderful! So much soul! Why do people have to talk about politics? Swedish theatre magazines from the early '40s told us what a charming and cultured man Herr Hitler was!! ????

le passport suisse l áurait sauve détre execute par la resistence comme espionne fasciste,certes histoires qu,on circulait sur sa vie,..sur sa fidelite a la cause republicaine fasciste a Salo ou Milano sont improbables mais on connait la fidelite de ses admirateurs ultras comme Simon Sabiani,sa relation avec D´Oltremare,Carbuccia,Quiñones deLeon,Pavolini,Staracce ...

[swissdolphin]

[camille885]

It is the most black song of Rina Ketty I've heard!

Sans doute la chanson la plus intense et la plus triste de son repertoire. Elle la chante avec merveille.

[requin9]

extraordinaire femme!

[requin9]

extraordinaire femme!

[joeocho88]

Beautiful woman, beautiful song!

Brassai - like photography...

What more could you possibly want --except to be in Paris back then --with a FAST EXIT VISA OUT right before the GERMANS invaded!

[pastelblues]

Wow~I would like to learn the french by my favorite french song. Is that possible to send me the french original song words and translate english? merci!

[laurentius76]

Sans toi après les jours pareils aux rayons de soleil

en vain, je cherche le sommeil!

Sans toi, O que de tristes nuits d'émoi!

reviens, reviens auprès de moi.

Qu'importe ce qui luit

les astres d'or et d'ambres,

en toi le ciel est gris

et c'est toujours décembre.

L'étoile du bonheur palit devant ma chambre et rien ne saurait consoler mon coeur!

[laurentius76]

Le chant de nos baisers, les nuits d'amour si brèves, déjà c'est le passé, il est brisé mon rêve! Mais soulourd de venirs, durant des nuits sans trêve, mon coeur qui t'aime tant, ne peut dormir! Sans toi, o que de tristes nuits d'émoi, plus rien que le doute et le froid, Sans toi mon coeur s'inquiète à chaque bruit J'ai peur de l'heure qui s'enfuit!

[laurentius76]

Mais soulourd de venirs = mais lourd de souvenirs

[laurentius76]

It's a very poetic song and for the translation it's too difficult for me. The song is about a love that doesn't more exist...

[barbcard]

Just realized it's not a path but some sort of ledge or low bench. But that "hook" on the wall...ominous to say the least.

[smurfswacker]

I haven't been to Paris, so a Parisian may say I'm full of hot air...but I believe that's the pathway beside a river. Might the rings be for tying boats (a bit far up, though)? Or maybe places for hanging lanterns in days gone by. Parisians, please solve the mystery.

[barbcard]

The distant headlights, the empty bench, white angular path leading who knows where, otherwise nothing but darkness: a perfect setting for the music and perhaps for a poem. Where can I get a copy of the photo, or is it a postcard?

[dzheger]

Moving tango, and the rest -- B said it all tres poetiquement.

[barbcard]

Merci beaucoup, David.

[barbcard]

Gorgeously noir song and images of Paris, as if it's

lost all its light and soul. Especially that first night scene. A tour de force!
