Freddy Quinn - Aloha Oe 1962
(Filmausschnitt)

Schau mich an und reich mir deine Hand
es war schön, so schön mit dir an Land
Weine nicht beim auseinandergehn
denn ein Seemann will Tränen nicht sehn.

Aloha-oe, aloha-oe
wer weiß, wann ich dich einmal wiedersehe?
Aloha-oe, aloha-oe
Die Heimat der Matrosen ist die See

Heute Nacht muss ich zurück an Bord,
denn mein Schiff fährt ohne mich nicht fort.
Lebe wohl, der Abschied fällt mir schwer,
doch ein Seemann gehört auf das Meer

Aloha-oe, aloha-oe
wer weiß, wann ich dich einmal wiedersehe?
Aloha-oe, aloha-oe
Die Heimat der Matrosen ist die See

Versión de 1990 de este conocido tema de J. A. Jiménez

QF7gji67-Gk

I will never forget your most delightful caresses
Never in my life,
Neither your warm lips,
Nor the words, pervaded with love.

I remember your eyes,
Wild, distracted by a thrill,
Huge and widely open,
As if that all was happening to-day.

The melody of this tango made me especially sentimental and reflective and I felt that I wanted to thank - here and now - to all nice people, my guests, visitors and friends for kind words of acceptance, support and their good taste regarding my "TANGO-action" on YouTube, which has been lasting since the very first day of my appearance here.




From my party, all has been done with true devotion and pleasure: I just LOVE tango - in its many types and variations, including all that material which was conceived and created in my country: Poland.
On that "special occasion", I decided to present also something special: a "modern", contemporary performance of the old Polish tango, my favourite : "Pamiętam twoje oczy" (I remember your eyes...), composed by Zygmunt Karasiński in 1930 to the lyrics by T. Stach.

It is played by an outstanding Polish violinist, Krzysztof Jakowicz, together with the tango musical ensamble "Tangata Quintet". Details (in Polish) below:

The music will tell us itself about the level of the performance and creativity of the musicians involved.
The CD record from which this tango is transferred, was purchased after the public tango-concert of the mentioned above group. My great thanks to Krystian for his help.

Main roles in my little film agreed to play...:)...: Victor Staal
Ann Sheridan and Hans Jaray (taken from Polish magazines, mid 1930's which together with documents and visuals regarding the music presented are from my - JP's - collection).
