Tango from Paris: Lucienne Boyer - Ah! Pourquoi mens-tu?, 1931

Luciene Boyer avec l'Orchestre Iza Volpin - Ah! Pourquoi mens-tu? (Why Do You Lie?) ( Paroles: Camille François et J. Lenoir, Musique: Jean Lenoir), Columbia 1931

NOTE: This tango-chante is another little gem composed by Jean Lenoir - author of "Parlez-moi d'amour", one of greatest world evergreens in the history of a song. Lucienne Boyer is always, a miracle: God only knows how with her tiny voice, she manages to reach the volume, the emotional truth and the artistic power of Edith Piaf...

A lovely welcome home for me. What IS it about French lyrics?!

Melancholic tango, most affecting voice. Heard it twice now, and it already registered in my mind.

Yes, her vocals were fantastic.

Hi Grzegorz,

She is amazing in her magic delivery and she reminds me a lot about Hanka Ordonowna - another legend.
