1912?

Parce que (Because), for voice & piano (or orchestra)
Music by Guy d'Hardelot


Lyrics by Edward Teschemacher

Because you came to me with naught but love,
and hold my hand and lift mine eyes above,
A wider world of hope and joy I see.
Because you come to me.

Because you speak to me in accents sweet,
I find the roses waking 'round my feet.
And I am led through tears and joy to thee.

Because God made thee mine I'll cherish thee,
through light and darkness, through all time to be.
And pray His love may make our love divine.
Because God made thee mine!

  • Yup, it was definitely recorded in 1912, and though the English version of this song is better-known (i.e. Mario Lanza's recording), this really was originally written in French. I don't know when the familiar English translation was written, though.

    Every time I hear this, I sing the English version, because that's what I'm more familiar with. :) Same thing with his recording of "Cantique de Noel" (O Holy Night).

  • Being a fan of all types of music, (Rock, balad etc) it is my opinion,' trained' singers are too harsh singing this and approach it much too seriously. Perry Como shows how to sing this wonderful song as smooth and as sweet as you could have it.

  • no the best version is from Lanza, Björling and Conely.

  • macciboma-Grazie Walter!

  • Grande documento storico del più bravo tenore di

    tutti i tempi. Walter.

  • The definitive version and even sung in the language that it was written in.

  • I hate Andrea Bocelli's voice to even compared to those of Caruso, Gigli and Pavarotti.

    I just don't understand why we keep hearing him when there are new young tenors with better voices out there.

  • This is the definitive version, in my opinion. Tauber's version comes a very close second.

  • Magnificent! I first heard that glorious sound in 1954 in the "Gramophone Exchange" in Shaftesbury Avenue, London. It was this recording which I played and then bought. A thick 78rpm. Thanks for posting it.

  • This voice was phenominal. The volume, resonance and phrasing are simply awe inspiring and to think that this was recorded not far off a century ago. What voice today even compares with Caruso's.
